Normally, trips are not something I prepare for months in advance. I usually pack my luggage the day before and plan the trip on the way. But Japan is different. It’s too far away—even the connecting flights will take about one day to go and one day to return. So this time, I feel my time over there will be precious, and I need to prepare a realistic plan and try to make the most of it. :) Although my English is not fluent yet, I’ve started learning Japanese on Duolingo, and I even practise one or two sentences when I visit a Japanese restaurant once a week. So, for my next trip, I’m learning a new language and culture. It seems very hard to become fluent in this language. I’m not sure about my end goal, but I feel a bit confident at this level because I think there are a few similarities with Turkish grammar. Okay, this adventure at least gives me something to talk about! :)

How to Stay Motivated While Learning a Foreign Language Feeling stuck or tired during lessons? You're not alone! Here are a few tips to stay inspired and make the most of your learning journey: Set Small, Clear Goals – Instead of just saying “I want to be fluent,” aim for something specific like “I want to order food in French confidently” or “I want to have a 3-minute conversation in Turkish.” Track Your Progress – Keep a notebook, journal, or app log of what you've learned. Even 10 new words a week adds up! Use What You Love – Watch shows, listen to music, or read short stories in your target language. Fun = motivation. Celebrate Speaking Mistakes – Every mistake is proof you’re trying and learning. Choose a Tutor Who Supports You – A good tutor makes you feel safe, understood, and challenged—in the best way. What keeps you motivated in your language lessons?

🌿 A Glimpse Into the Swahili World Hi there! 😊 let me take you on a little cultural journey into the heart of Swahili culture, the world I call home. 🌊 Born by the Ocean, Shaped by the World Swahili was born and bred on the East African coasts, where ocean breeze, call to prayer, and the scent of spiced pilau fill the air, on the shores of Kenya and Tanzania, where Africa met Arabia, Persia, India, and beyond. The word Swahili comes from the Arabic "sawāḥil" meaning "coast." And for centuries, our people, the Waswahili, were coastal traders, storytellers, sailors, and scholars. We’ve always been a blend of worlds welcoming, curious, and deeply rooted in community. 🗣️ A Language with Many Stories When you speak Swahili (Kiswahili), you speak a language that has traveled across oceans. It’s built on a Bantu foundation, but carries the sounds of Arabic, hints of Persian, and even traces of Portuguese and English. Swahili is not just about words it’s about warm greetings, rhythmic poetry, and unspoken respect in how we talk to elders, guests, and friends. 🎶 Music, Food, and Moments We Cherish I also believe that if you want to feel the soul of Swahili culture, just listen to taarab music where African drums meet Arabic strings, and every lyric is a poem. Or, join us for a Swahili wedding, where community joy overflows in food, laughter, and dance. Speaking of food have you ever tried coconut rice, samaki wa kupaka (grilled fish in coconut sauce), or soft, sweet mandazi? Our cuisine is a beautiful fusion, just like our history 🌍 What We Value Most We believe in "Ukarimu" (hospitality) and "Umoja" (togetherness). Elders are respected, guests are honored, and neighbors are family. One of my favorite Swahili sayings is: "MATAMSHI MAZURI NI HERI KULIKO ZAWADI" – GOOD WORDS ARE BETTER THAN ANY GIFT. It reminds us to be kind and show Grace to others, even with our words.
