This morning, my elder sisters and I went live on-air for the second time on TV Al-Hijrah’s morning program, Assalamualaikum.
The program was hosted by Shahrul Faizie and Irma Hasmie, whom are very nice and wonderful to be with.
This time I was not so nervous since I’ve been live on-air before.
I was so excited when my mother told me on Wednesday that we were invited to be on today’s Assalamualaikum.
Today’s topic is about learning foreign languages, we talked about why we want to learn more than one foreign language, how to motivate ourselves and why we chose the languages.
Apart from English which we use at home together with our mother tongue, the Malay language I’m now learning German, while my eldest sister, Kaman speaks Spanish and a bit of Arabic and my elder sister Kashah is learning French.
Anyway, all of us including my mother know a bit of Spanish because we used to watch Barney and Dora the Explorer; and we use some Spanish words in our daily conversations at home.
I always want to learn German since I was a little boy because both of my father and grandfather speak German and I want to be able to converse with them whenever they speak German.
It is not that easy to learn another language, but we can do it if we really want to do it and if we try hard enough because when there’s a will, there’s a way.
It was wonderful to be on air and I hope to have more chances to take part in more television programs in the future.
