A World Apart.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I'm one of the only people in the world that accidentally mixes in Kosraen words with Arabic. The look on my teacher's face when I drop words like 'fasr' and 'mutacn' in the middle of my Arabic class is priceless.

Hitting the Books.

Samer wrote the words BAD and FATHER on the white board in huge block letters. He was trying to explain the different pronunciation of the 'AH' sound in my language class.
Naturally, I spent the rest of the three hour class distractedly worried about Samer's relationship with his father and how it was unconsciously manifesting itself in his teaching.
I've been away from structured learning for a little bit too long.
