Through my survey I figured out that a lot of people really don’t use Arabic as their first language although it’s their mother language. People in the UAE always like to boast and show off that they know how to speak and write in English without knowing that they are destroying our beautiful language. Using another language instead of Arabic in different transactions reached 93% and it’s a huge percentage that we should be concerned about.
Through my campaign, I want to limit the number of people who speak English. Firstly, I want them to understand the important of this issue. Then I want them to act and participate with my campaign.
