[stylist] question about how to phrase some words

[Myrna Badgerow]

Nother is not a word so whole other would be more correct. But if I could suggest something different, perhaps you could say ... Arabic is an entirely different language for me to learn, but I think I can do it. 
Your sentence is fine but do use  whole other instead of whole nother.

Just my two cents ..

I'd like to know whether it's "whole other" or "whole nother?" When I talk I often use whole nother but it just doesn't sound right.  Can anyone help me out?
