Language lesson for you

Ok, people.  One day, I promise I will actually think about what to write about before I get in front of a computer.  That isn't today- sorry.  I'm not very focused.  We've been having classes a lot lately.  Your first phrase to learn is "Salaam alakum."  That's how you greet everyone in TG no matter what language they speak.  Then it gets much tricker depending on what language the other person speaks.  I find out waht language I am learning soon.  Maybe tomorrow!  I can't wait to find out what I can concentrate on from now on.  I had my interview today to get a better idea on what my placement will be.  That decides my language (which is why I find out tomorrow).  
Random things for people to know.  I probably don't need as many book as I thought.  The library is really good so I am not as desperate as I expected.  To send packages a padded envelope might be the best thing or a flat rate international box.
Everything is going really well.  I'm doing great and am excited to be here.

  1. So glad to "hear" from you again! Glad you are happy and doing well. It sounds like if you have a decent library close by, you will be set for books, huh? I'm assuming they are American books? :)

    Can't wait to see pictures and hear more! Good luck with the language studies. Your young mind will do great!

    Love ya' Sweetie. Take care.

  2. I'm suprised you're still getting internet so often, but I'm glad to hear that you're doing well. I guess that's becuase you're still in the big city ;) And getting to eat pizza?!?! oh my, you're getting spoiled (hehe). Know that I'm praying for you and can't wait to hear where your assignment will be!! Love ya Linzo!
