I learned English in less than a month.
CRAZY RIGHT?😂
I was 14 when we moved to Canada from Iran. I started going to school in Canada but whoops there was a problem. I DIDNT KNOW ENGLISH! I knew 4 other languages but English.
let me tell you, that year was my worst year in life.
I said ok well I went to school and the guidence gave me Gym class. I was like cool it would be the only class that I don’t really need to know English in order to get a good mark. I was happy until I stepped in that class for the first time.
so what happened was that the teacher started explaining something but I didn’t know what was going on. Iranian school system and Canadian one was soooooo different. I nearly wanted to cry because I didn’t have any friends and our teacher talked for one hour and I didn’t even understand one word.
when the teacher was done talking I heard a girl is speaking Persian ( a language that I know) I got so so so happy and I went up to her. I asked her “ can you please tell me what is going on in here? This is my first day at school and I don’t know English”
She responded me with a really mad tone “ DO YOU WANT ME TO SPEND ONE HOUR TELLING YOU WHAT HE SAID”
she really did break my heart BAD. I was like ok it’s ok. You know I was the coolest kid back in Iran and no one had ever been rude to me and it was my first time in life that I got a really rude and ugly answer from someone but well I was confident and I didn’t care tbh. I just moved on.
but the problem started when everyone of my classmates found out that I didn’t know English. Very surprisingly the people who started bullying me by calling me bad names and stupid weren’t even whites they were the Persians who knew English. Well it became a habit for me to hear insults from my classmates. I didn’t care tbh but the thing is I didn’t try to learn English either. It’s right that I never got sad when they insulted me but over the time I lost my confidence to learn english.
one day there was a really ugly girl who bullied me everyday came up to me . She said that I am a whore and a stupid girl who cannot even learn English. BRUH this made me crazy. I wanted to hit her so hard but here is Canada not iran and well I could have gotten in a trouble if I did that.
I didn’t do anything but I started watching youtube 24/7 oh my god I was learning so fast and I was enjoying. Two days later I met the love of my lifeeee❤️ A Russian but Canadian born guy. He asked to hang out w me everyday for hours. He was so nice and lovely but the problem was I couldn’t communicate with him. (Btw he is so good looking and we are still together lol) Nicholas got so sad that I couldn’t speak English and what he did was so sweet. He tried to talk to me and when I didn’t understand a word he either explained the meaning of the word to me by showing me related physical actions or he opened a persian dictionary so I could translate and learn.
I loved me and that was the reason why he tried sooooo hard for me to learn English. Maybe impossible but it took me less than a month and I started speaking English very fluently. Nobody believed that I was the same person once I started showing off my language skills.
well I found the right time to find that shitty face girl. I found her and told her son of a bitch I speak five languages wbu? You were worried that Idk English well here I am knowing English better than you do. I also said some shitty things in other languages to her and told hee to learn those languages so she might be just good enough to hear some insults from me . Oh that moment was nice.
Btw guys the same girl nearly failed math and asked my help bc I was a top student in mathematics. Well I reminded the day I asked her for help in gym class and she ignored me then I said the same thing to her that she told me the day she ignored me. I told her “ DO YOU WANT ME TO SPEND ONE HOUR TELLING YOU WHAT HE SAID? ARE YOU STUPID?”
I thank Nicholas from here too if he ever reads this❤️ You were and are my savior and my only guardian angel❤️ I love you and I’m thankful to have you.
