    Assalamu alaikoum, As someone who's still in the very early stages of wetting my feet with Arabic learning, this was really informative mashaaAllah thank you so much for this overview of your journey and those tips are amazing too! I was wondering, do you have any tips for writing in Arabic more specifically ? All dimensions of writing, improving handwriting (I'm really interested in the calligraphic aspect of Arabic especially), learning how to write creatively, technical stuff, essays etc and also what about typing in Arabic should we get an Arabic keyboard asap too? Cuz I'm thinking if I could one day reach a typing speed of 100 WPM for example, that would be really sweet :O

Is it possible that I apply for admission a year ago and once I get admitted I join a year later? I don't want to waste my year and want to join Medina university as soon as I graduate.
