Re: Arabic
lol... Hindi and Urdu.. wouldn't even dream of being able to learn them...... As for Chinese, forget it...
I tell you, my mom is so freaky..... She knows a dozen languages or something... she picks them up so quickly.. lol :scared:
I want to close in on her now, so I'm studying German. And next year it will be Hebrew and Farsi simultaneously (part of my M.A ). I've set my heart on learning Russian.
