The Cairo Gyro

the excitement, enjoyment, frustration, and food that comes with living and learning in egypt

Golden advice from my folks

Savor solitude.   Be Selective about Socializing.

My parents, may Allah preserve them, advised me before coming here not to mix much with people or worry about making friends.. they told me to meet others and keep good ties with them but to rely on myself when it comes to staying motivated and happy…not other people. SubhanAllah they were right, they knew it would pose problems to me being here alone, without family or familiar friends. They knew the best thing for me would be to take advantage of the free time to better myself and stay focused in my studies

Take my parents advice if you know what’s good for ya :)

    Asslaam alaykum

    just wanted some advice from you. I have been in Egypt almost 4 months now and close to completing book 2 of kitab alassai but feel my progress is slow and I lack vocab. How many words do you think you learnt over the course of over one year and what technqiues did you use to memorise the words? Right now i feel that i have a mental block right now
