Tough to Spell in English

Najla can read Malay pretty well because Malay words are easy to spell. Unfortunately she still has trouble with the English spelling. Two or three mornings before, she looked at our fan (National brand) and innocently asked me “what does NA TI ON AL mean?” I thought it was really cute because she is so used to phonetically spelling Malay words.

Every now and then she would remind me to talk to teachers at Al Irsyad school about enrolling her there next year (She’ll be 6 years next year). I guess she can’t wait to be in the same school with her brothers and sisters.
