need to brush up on my urdu i fear
#that sentence is crazy to even say......... like how did it even get that bad#how can i not even speak the language which was my primary for the first 10 years of my life...#im scared of sounding like my whitewashed cousins that would be SO embarrassing#going to norway w my aunt soon to see her friend and her family#and i dont think they speak english so i need to get better at urdu#her friend likes me from when we had to spend time together at the wedding in pakistan#also this is the same lady who i went on the rickshaw with and he nearly got us lost and i thought we would simply just die lmao#what i really need to work on long term is my reading bc i've always struggled with that since i was little#which actually makes sense bc we only had english books at home so obviously i would just read those#its annoying that i went to an english medium school actually#bc they would literally actively stop us from speaking in urdu/punjabi and thats hindered me so much long term#likee it makes sense i suppose but its kind of excessive#also i think that instead of learning fuckass english there should be more focus on our own languages#bc the younger generations increasingly cannot speak languages from their regions..#i do get that knowing english 'opens doors' or whatever but i hate that we have to do it#also can i just say the kids at my school at the age of like 8/9 were far more advanced in english than the english kids at my new school#it was crazy... they didnt even know how to spell i remember being so shocked
