Re: Hi Guys ... I just decided to make English my first languag choice (Re: Asma Abdel Halim)

Dears Asma and Ibrahim , Thank you for your input .I feel like I was not able to express my self well but what I mean I do respect all human cultures including Arabic culture but after living more than 20 years in Arabic world I still feel like this not my real culture .In fact I do not go a long with so many things on it .The unique thing about Arabic , it is a complete heritage including religion,attitude , customs , traditions and even skin color .We as a Sudanese are really different although some of us does not precept this and still trying hard to coop and I have seen the great effect happen in our society within last years after adopting many things from Arab world into Sudanese culture through the huge Arabic media but in fact we are a way to be considered as Arabs and if we continue this way we will loose our identity and end up as distorted nation .In my opinion one of the great reasons why we are a way back behind all nations because of this identity problem .We need to face our self and pick the right choices for us as individuals , families and a nation. We are a human being and have the right to adopt any other human culture since it fits with our needs and embrace our dreams.There was so many great cultures in our ancient Sudanese history the current adopted culture which we were "driven to" by a political order need to be re-considered.The gab of the language has effected the knowledge of many middle class generation .Translation from English to Arabic has limited the generation sight depending on translator point of view .Sudanese in Sudan are so isolated from out side world .They hate every thing comes from west . Talking English in Khartoum streets is so odd.English rating in Government premises is almost zero In this Global era English language is our key to world knowledge ,learn and interact ,find a new way to express our self .take a better place in future. I decided to go for this change and start with my self .I am sure this will not effect me as a Sudanese "NOT Arab".A sudanese who choose to look for better future and brighter world not less or more.
