Three Languages?


 As I mentioned in one of my previous blogs, I was born in Iran. Where I was born, there were quite a lot of Arabs that lived there. My entire family was raised and grew up with that language, which is the reason they all know how to speak Arabic. I still know quite a bit of Arabic, but I speak very little since I started going to Persian and American schools. My older family members know the traditional Arabic and how to read and write in that language. I still think that I should try to prefect my Arabic, but every time I try to speak I sound like I'm trying to speak Chinese and my cousins make fun of me. Overall, I'm very thankful that I am able to have the ability to speak a few languages and have the influence of all three cultures in my life.
