I agree with Myrna that using a different phrasing would be
better. It
also depends on how formal the writing is suppose to be for this
assignment. Is it a research paper? English paper? A piece of
creative
writing? The way in which you write and phrase language will be
different depending on what the format is, and how you're writing
within
that format.

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
