777 jours consécutifs d'apprentissage du français - IMRAN™
Finally, a lot later, but a tiny bit closer to another life goal. 777 days streak of learning French. How and why did that take so long?
Bedsides my late mother’s Urdu language, my late father’s Punjabi, and English learned as a student in Pakistan, I’ve always hungered to learn more languages. As a pre-teen, I was making some progress learning very basic German from Teach Yourself books in the mid 1970s. I won’t mention here BASIC, Pascal, FORTRAN, C, or C++ type programming languages I had also learned!
But then real tough Cambridge school certificate, then Cambridge A’ levels, and later professional electronics engineering degree studies left no time that was taken up being a student political leader in the 1980s. An engineering classmate from Lahore, Amir, did learn French at the Alliance Français and got me hooked on French movies around 1983.
In 1987 (West Germany) became the first country I visited, and fell in love with, followed by France. So, despite my love for Germany and the German people, French became my language learning goal.
Then 30 years of life, and history, flew by. I bought all the books, tapes, CDs, DVDs, and even apps, as the technology of language learning evolved. I even got the DuoLingo app when it first came out. But time remained the constraint.
Until the pandemic. When everyone was asking others what Netflix series to binge-watch, I took advantage of the time to get and spend time walking with my two German Shepherd Dogs, took off 32 pounds of weight I had put in 32 years living in USA, started work on my second music album, and more.
But what I am so happy I was able to pull off into a consistent habit was doing at least 10-minutes or more of French learning every day. Every day, at least once, before midnight.
By the grace of God I just hit 777 days of consecutive learning days, and my 70th week streak in the highest Diamind League of DuoLingo’s gamification system (which really incentivizes the competitive spirit in me).
Can I have a real conversation with my French neighbor, CFO of a major FinTech, Julien? … Pas vraiment, mais peut-être un peu…. But, my life’s journey to be a Learn It All continues. Je vous parlerai (en anglais, français, Urdu/hindi, Punjabi) bientôt!

“We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.”
- Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist -
