The benefits of mastering other languages

Hi There!! For this topic, i would like to choose arabic language. One of the reasons is arabic will always be used even when we are dead. Studying Arabic is less complicated now than ever just before but it continues to be a hard language for English speakers to grasp as promptly as other European languages. You can find a lot of Internet sources accessible, and also several language applications on-line which assist with pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and indeed in some circumstances do quite a superb job of simulating immersion and context, which can be the very best approach to discover any language, like Arabic.
Deriving in the Semetic language group, Arabic is often a language with an incredible history. Dating back to Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. and the 7th century, it truly is now spoken in more than 20 nations with 195 million persons speaking Arabic as their first language, and a different 35 million plus speaking it as their second language.
Even though written Arabic is really standardized, you will find big variations in local spoken dialects.
There are lots of motives why one particular would wish to study Arabic. Rather than getting place off by pronunciations which look difficult and do need substantial effort be excited regarding the positive aspects of an awesome point of view and amazing insights into an early civilization and its incredible history. This may make you want to put the effort into mastering Arabic, which is completely doable with some practice.

Definition Of Independence Day

Hey Guys!! We met again here, soooo.... i wanted to write something about Merdeka because Merdeka Day is just around the corner. But despite the call of unity through the ‘1Malaysia’ slogan being trumpeted by our government, the real meaning of Merdeka seems lost and forgotten by many Malaysians of all races.
Instead, what we have are BN component parties like Umno, MCA and MIC still looking inwards with their racial politicking. To make matters worse, we also have Perkasa harping on racial sentiments and stoking up tension with trivial issues.
All these racial issues seemed to portray that Malaysia has not been truly independent and united after all these years. We are still divided along racial and religious lines with the recent incident of a Johor school principal who described non-Muslim students as penumpang at the school’s National Day celebrations.
How meaningful is ‘1Malaysia’ when such racist statements are uttered in public?
To me, the true meaning of Merdeka is when Malaysians finally learn to love our neighbours as ourselves. Isn’t this God’s command to us? Who then is our neighbour? It is our fellow Malaysian in a multi-racial society like ours.
We can only achieve national unity through loving our fellow Malaysians from other races and religious beliefs. This means we learn to respect our different cultures and beliefs in society. When we practice love, we inevitably learn to accept our rich diversity and seek national unity instead.
We seek dialogues to resolve any misunderstanding on perceived sensitive issues with an open heart of honesty, transparency and love.
Love is about being patient and kind; it does not envy or boast. Love is not self-seeking or proud. Love in this spiritual sense is what Malaysians need to fully realise our destiny as fellow human beings who were created in God’s image.
When there is a lack of love, there is a lack of understanding, which indirectly leads to racial tension being manipulated by certain self-seeking politicians in order to perpetuate their political power.
It is only when Malaysians learn to love our neighbours as fellow Malaysians, irrespective of race and religion, can transformation of society really take place. Merdeka Day is not just about remembering our nation’s independence from colonial rule. It is about setting our minds free from racial prejudices and discrimination.
Unless we are freed from these shackles of racism, we will forever be stuck with a colonial-like mentality and the meaning of Merdeka will just be lost. This then is what Merdeka really means to me - Learning to love others as oneself.
