NSTnation Comoros native Dr Mohamed Abdou Moindjie says Malaysia’s multilingualism an asset
Universiti Sains Malaysia lecturer Dr Mohamed Abdou Moindjie is able to speak French, English, Arabic, Spanish, German, Malay, Swahili, Comoran, Russian and Mandarin.
“I find Malaysia to be a good place to study languages because it is a multicultural and multilingual country,” said the polyglot at his office at USM’s School of Languages, Literacies and Translation here recently.“If I want to learn Mandarin, I can easily find people who speak the language. But if I were in say, France, it would have been very difficult to find people speaking any other language than French.
He added that he picked up Arabic and English in Khartoum, Sudan, where he completed his secondary schooling years. “I accepted and lived in Malaysia for another two years before my contract ended in 2016. I went back after my contract ended and resumed teaching at the University of Comoros, where I later became the head of languages,” he added.
