English: My principal language, being born and raised in Mareekanka
Somali: Improving, still bad though, but its better than being non-existent and ayeeyo does wonders when she is here, xamdullilah
Arabic: I'll go 5 lines with you, I am going to hang with the Saudis and Palestinians in my area now

yes insha allah, thanks for the advice brother
and I am going to go back to studying Arabic walahi....all the stuff drilled in me as a child is gone
though I can read Qur'an, but I can't understand without looking at translation, you know? Like my dad was Hafiz in Qur'an but he didn't understand it (just was told to memorize) and he lost some of it cause he didn't practice and/or know the meaning.
so insha allah, I don't know probably at Uni I am going to take Arabic in the future insha allah

Awdal,
its just so your understanding of the Qur'an can grow more, if you expand the vocab and the root words of so many of these words you know? Anyway, thats what I think lol
Arabic is good to have, insha allah you can try to learn it
