the results…

I came to Tunis having spoken little to no arabic, and what I had spoken is the arabic equivalent of king james english.  On the other hand, i came with a year chock full o’ grammar. Given that, my focus here in Tunis was to better my listening and speaking skills while hopefully improving my grammar as a side project.

The test results seem to show that while i’ve significantly improved my ability to understand spoken arabic and speak it myself, i seem to have pushed out most grammar knowledge. I also spelled the name of the school wrong during the test and as it turns out, they don’t appreciate that very much.

I wrote yesterday about how i was frustrated with the numbers and the seeming impossibility of writing them correctly. As it turns out, I can write the number in the correct form I simply forgot to pluralize the subject.

Not as bad as i thought on some areas and not as good as i thought on others…but overall, i’m happy with the results.
