[stylist] question about how to phrase some words

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Then it depends on how you're using the phrase, and if the language and
vernacular used is consistent throughout.

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
