Introductions

Hello,

My name is Tom Bailey and I am a 21-year-old British student in my final year of University.

This blog is going to document my journey from only being able to speak English, to hopefully being able to speak a whole bunch of other languages.

My current target language is Egyptian Arabic, and I have been seriously studying it for the last 4 weeks now.

There isn't much behind the scenes access to how people learn languages. People just see polyglots speaking these languages and think they are geniuses. But, as Michelangelo said "If you knew how much work went into it, you would not call it genius."

So I will be posting every Sunday for as long as I can, and the next post will be on the 10th.

مع السلامة
(Goodbye)
