Wow...language learning is HARD!
Most days I say really stupid things...like today...
Joyce: "Oli otya Lena?"
Me: "uhh...weebale...I mean...Kale...uhhh...wait no...Jende!"
Basically...I have so many little responses in my mind that when poor Joyce asked me how I was this morning I told her...thank you, okay, I mean...I'm fine!
Maybe I should put a sign on my forehead that says "Caution...don't speak to me in Llugandan before 9 am..."
Let's hope it gets better before it gets worse!
One plus...I do keep the Ugandans entertained and we have some great laughs at what comes out of my mouth...
for example...
The other day I was trying to say that I loved Rolex (a type of breakfast burrito here) but rather, I declared my love to the rolex...with a confident "I love you Rolex!"
Yeah...it was a sight! Auntie Flo and Mama Jane pretty much fell over and rolled in the grass as they just repeated my declaration of love for a burrito over and over!
ahh...Llugandan...pray for me :)
