I used to be very enthusiastic when it comes to Arabic or Arabic Literature and I'm still that person except for one thing which is that I used to come across certain literary expressions that doesn't exist in any other languages and because of this I was convinced that Arabic is the only language spoken today that is capable of delivering deep human thoughts and emotions efficiently in only one letter or sound, but with further study, I found out that this doesn't apply only on Arabic, but also on every ancient languages whether they're spoken today or not such as Latin, Hebrew,Greek, Aramaic,Sanskrit and Chinese. However, other languages such as English (in its current form), German, Korean, modern Japanese, Hindi and Jawi (the language of Malaysia,Singapore and Indonesia), can carry some deep meanings in a way an Ancient language cannot handle and this is common amongst all modern languages. Therefore, I reached to a conclusion that every language is unique in its own way except for French!! What I've learnt in three months learning Japanese is way better than what I've learnt in two years studying French. It's too difficult!!
That was just a thought I wanted to share with you. Let me know what you think.

I think French is the most beautiful language in the world!! Would you agree? How did it sound when you were in Paris? Did you get your hands on Edmund White's 'The Flaneur?' Well, here's a question, at the moment the world's busy learning English as a Lingue Franca' but this will, inevitably change, as we witness the emergence of or 'rise of the East.' Which languages do you think we will be using for business in 50 years time? Do you think English will become redundant? In order to answer this task question, consider, population growth patterns and projections, the fact that China has overtaken Japan in terms of its economy, the emergence of South America and the possible revitalisation of Spanish. Let us know what you think...
