Nepali Skills

July 12 2006

Well we have just finished 5 days of language training in spoken Nepali. It really does not seem like a very difficult language to master but it is hard because besides our classes we normally speak English. That is one of the downfalls of not living with a Nepali family. I figure I would have to learn more if I lived with all Nepali’s! But, I’m doing ok so far. I know how to ask the kids what their name is, and their age and to tell them my name! Ha. Not too too bad! When I am shopping and out and about I know a few phrases as well – like that is too expensive/ cheap and I am a volunteer and from Canada. I can truly say more in Nepalese than I can in French and I studied French for quite a few years. But it’s different being immersed in it. It’s a fun way to learn a language. I will give you free updates if and when I progress further! Namaste! (Bye!) haha
