[stylist] question about how to phrase some words

[Vejas]

Thanks everyone.  I decided to use "a completely different 
language."

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 ..

 Hi all,
 I have a question about a story I am writing, which is due 
tomorrow.  I would like to use the following sentence: "Arabic is 
a whole other language for me to learn, but I think I can do it." 
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?
 Thanks,
 Vejas
