How I did it
It made me
save time. 
How I did it: I started by typing small homework assignments instead of writing them out by hand. Then when I got to the point where I had to start turning in essays, I didn't have to waste precious time searching for the hamza on the keyboard. I can't type as fast in Arabic as I can in English, but I type at a steady pace faster than I can write. Read how I did it…
