Abstract
This is a linguistic autobiography whose objective is to explore some of the linguistic, socio-cultural and personality factors that have contributed to the fact that the author has successfully acquired English as a foreign language, has experienced varying degrees of success while learning other languages, but has not acquired Arabic, her heritage language. El presente estudio explora algunos de los factores lingüísticos, socioculturales y de personalidad que han contribuido para que la autora haya alcanzado un buen dominio del inglés como lengua extranjera, haya aprendido otros idiomas con relativo éxito, pero no haya logrado aprender el árabe, su lengua por herencia.
