Learning a language that does not use our alphabet is difficult. It is being thrown into water but never being taught to swim. It is driving blindfolded. It is a bike for the first time without training wheels…

There is nothing to hang onto because the alphabet is not the same. The letters are not the same. They don’t look the same. They don’t even use the same numbers we do… quick: think of the letter three/3. now picture it: 3. right? right. no. wrong. They DON’T FUCKING HAVE THAT!!! 3 DOES NOT EXIST TO THEM!!! CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE THAT??? HOW FUCKING AMAZING IS THAT??? there is no 3. there is the word three but in their language, and there is the number 3 but it doesn’t look like that… it looks like something I cannot even type. Totally fucked up.

So you’re really out there in a whole other world, as one assumes you are when learning an Asian language such as Chinese or Japanese. Persian looks like script. More like designs. 32 letters instead of our 26. but only one vowel which has six different sounds to it depending on its context, so you could say it has 37 letters… depending on how you look at it.

What I am having to do with it is just listen and try to repeat it… just learning the flow of it.. the sound of it. as if it is poetry or lyrics to a song… this is why I am so good at learning languages… I hear them as lyrics to songs… and through that I am able to get inside of it, or get it inside of me…
