If You Want to Learn Language Start with Culture

I was hearing lots from a friend of mine about his uncle, I was really interesting to meet him because what I have heard, he was that man who is so quite and like to spend most of his free time behind a book, a book from another Language far from his tang.

Let me tell you more about him.. He was teaching English at Oxford Institute in Egypt, but the very weird thing is he was an Arabic Teacher before everything changed in his life and decide to enhance his qualification in English, and then he started to teach it.

I thought this is interesting thing, meet a man like him, and see what he will say, it’s always a true that you learn something new from every person you meet, so.. I decide to meet him, and asked to my friend to set an a appointment for me with his uncle.

Few days latter, my friend called me, and said that I will have that meeting, and oh.. what a unique style of men he was! .. very gentle in his clothes, so quite when he talks, you don’t even think about interrupting him, not to miss anything from what he say! And you forgot all your questions just to keep the man talking!

So after we talked for some time, I told him that I am wondering how he is teaching English now, while he was an Arabic teacher at beginning?

And he answered me, very quite “If you want to learn a Language of people, try to start with their Culture”, yes .. I realized that time that my English is nothing, it’s not more that a few words, need lots of work to join them together and at the end, I find my self talking English like a speaking computer, even worse than Google translation :)

Anyways.. I didn’t study English since high school, but I had a wonderful teacher of my own, my wife.. she is the one who is teaching me now, and with out her I wouldn’t write one word in my blog.

Culture is very useful when you are learning Language, I all the time remember those words “If you want to learn a Language of people, try to start with their Culture”. Step by step I will also be able to enhance my writing skills, I am not satisfied with it as some of my blog readers were having some problems to understand some parts of what I wrote on some of my posts, I think this is because differences in cultures, I don’t know if you will agree with me that even those who speak same language have difficulties to understand what others talking about is their articles and blogs.
