Learning the language

When coming to Saudi Arabia I knew that it would be slightly difficult to communicate with the people around me such as my family!  I kind of wish I would have push myself to know more then what I know I guess I am well not "guess'' I am!!! the reason why I don't know that much I mean I try to pick up words here and there but I quickly forget them and not write them down.  

Just like I know the Arabic alphabet for a while I knew it by heart by reading the letters but when I stop practicing after awhile I completely forget and have to start from scratch and this is something I need to work on and I think that being here in Saudi Arabia will ether push me to learn the hard way and be difficult or be easy. 

Since living with my husbands family I have found it to be rather educational literally everything is like a game of charades pointing and telling them in English and I can at least ask "what is this" in Arabic which is "Aish Hatha" when writing Arabic in English lettering there is no wrong way of spelling it as long as you can pronounce it :) but every small word that I have been learning I jog it into my phones notebook. I should probably write it in my notebook in case something happens to my phones memory and it gets deleted but I feel bad that I didn't push myself harder , I sometimes feel like that my family will learn English before I learn to speak Arabic...

Insha'allah soon we will be migrating from Abha to Jeddah which is where my husband will insha'allah be working and hopefully I can take some classes there on learning to speak arabic and learning at this point I don't care if its Egyptian dialect or Saudi I just want to be able to speak and be able to understand and I think that is what is the most important thing is to be able to speak the language I mean I can understand my family surprisingly a little bit  when they are telling me to do something, I use the word insha'allah (if God Willing) a lot lol if I don't understand but I think slowly slowly I will get it, after all this is my passion and what I love so insha'allah may Allah make it easy on me...

I hope to insha'allah learn more effective ways on remembering the words I learn I have some people tell me to allow the people to make fun of you so you learn to speak and say the words correctly, and some just say to write them down and just keep repeating them, insha'allah I think with both of these methods it will help a lot insha'allah because I know I can do it, because before when I actually pushed myself I was able to read Arabic until I got to the connecting part then it was kind of difficult but I have faith in myself that I will get it insha'allah I may not be fluent but will be able to at least talk to get me through life here in the KSA (Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia)...
