DLI is the hardest school ever. Also, I'm in the hardest language ever!
Arabic is very difficult to read, and understand, and speak. It's based on a "root system" that supposedly is based on logic and makes complete sense. :| This is not (totally) true. The word for "flag" is also the same word for "world" and "to study." Add a letter and it becomes "science." Seriously? how are these connected? Who came up with this? Curse it.
There are 2 T's ت ط, D's ض د, H's ح ه, and 2 S's س ص. There is a "ghayn" غwhich is either pronounced like a messed up G, or a very very French R. And there is an "ayn" ع which is not pronounced correctly unless you are about to gag/choke on the back of your tongue. There is also a "th" ث as theater, and a "th" ظ as in the. AND there is a letter that's said by temporarily blocking your throat ء .
Insanity!!!
