PhD research on the language – Learning Spanish 9

Language Learning, SpanishBy ArneNovember 2, 2016Leave a comment

PhD, the highest level of education, is not typically focused on language learning, but on something else. The language is the base. The thesis is something new on grammar, literature or whatever. In my case, it was grammar. The language itself is only a means to an end. You need it as the foundation of…

A new adventure – Setting up the class for Learning Tunisian Arabic 1

Language Learning, TunisianBy ArneOctober 26, 2016Leave a comment

A friend helped me to find a guy and then on a Monday we started learning Tunisian Arabic. I have spent a few months learning Algerian Arabic and a few weeks on Modern Standard Arabic, and I’ve studied a bit of Arabic grammar with several books. But this time it’s meant to be long-term and…

How many are there? Language chaos – Living in Algeria 6

Algeria, Cultural adaptationBy ArneOctober 19, 2016Leave a comment

In Algeria, as in all Arabic countries, there is Standard Arabic, which is the official national language. In addition, there are many other dialects spoken, dialects of Arabic and also several Berber languages.

When language classes are no good – Learning Spanish 7

Language Learning, SpanishBy ArneOctober 10, 2016Leave a comment

Why on earth do you still need to attend language courses once you have been in the country for more than a year? Well, I had to. Even though I had just came back from Spain, having been there for the third time for a total of over nine months, I had to go back…

Spontaneous and Indirect – Living in Algeria 5

Algeria, Cultural adaptationBy ArneOctober 5, 2016Leave a comment

By now we have learned a lot about the culture, language and people of this country. But there are some things we can’t get through our heads. We just don’t get it. For example, our landlady says, “If I make this meal tomorrow, I’ll invite you over.” We express our thanks. The next afternoon a…

Now that we are in country, there are some urgent tasks to do that we have been putting off for a long time. That means that I am spending more time than I used to at the computer. Unfortunately, there is only one table in our apartment, the chairs are too low, and we can’t…

Where on earth is Murcia? – Learning Spanish 6

Language Learning, SpanishBy ArneSeptember 26, 2016Leave a comment

A year earlier I had tried to get a scholarship in California. Somehow I thought it would be fun to study my languages in the United States – an opinion the committee that granted these did not share. They asked a lot of questions about my motivation and also about California. As I hadn’t studied…

Tomorrow’s Another Day – Living in Algeria 3

Algeria, Cultural adaptationBy ArneSeptember 20, 2016Leave a comment

Time is money, they say where we come from. Time is life, you could say here. Whereas people in our country often bustle along the street looking agitated and rushed, here it’s normal for people to stand around chatting or doing nothing at all. Recently I needed a haircut. I hesitated a long time because…
