Glad to be back.

I really like our small community here. This place still looks like a peaceful haven after years of being active at reddit and youtube. I wasn't really active since quite a few years. Meanwhile I began to study teology in Istanbul University (currently on 3rd grade but obviously I spent a year for Arabic) and learned literary Arabic got married and currently expecting a baby boy. Things changed a lot for me, since I didn't had a job, education or anything going on at that time. I wasn't depressed at that time either but I was just anxious about life and about which direction to proceed. Well, I'm just back, a few years wiser hopefully. Glad to see you guys 

Well, for a lot of nations Arabic is just like what Latin is for Western Europe. That includes plenty of non-Arabic speaking countries like Turkey, Iran, India etc. I can pick up plenty of words from Indian movies just because of that. For comparison English sounds like a completely alien language from outer space to a Turk, no shared vocabulary (except for a few words of French origin) and no shared grammar. Until you study of course 

I can only imagine Kurds having much easier time learning European languages since they share same ancient roots. English surely was a tough nut to crack for me. But later on it helped me immensely when learning some Arabic grammar. They didn't have much in similar for sure but my mind was already opened up to possibilities. There are so many ways to describe something
