Now a brief edition of "overheard in the Herman family" (things we never expected to say in our life)
walking along to road to language classLaura: Help me remember these three things to ask our teacher...
Ben: What was that? I almost fell in the sewer. I missed it.
Misspeaking in Bangla - with a very subtle difference in intonation:
এখাবার মজা! "This meal is tasty!"
এখাবার মোজা! "This meal is socks!"
We were taught to expect to make about 1,000 mistakes a day while learning the language. You have to get up up pretty early to get them all in, so we start early. Honestly, though, you feel like a three-year-old much of the day. It's a major success to both understand, "It's cloudy today and yesterday was very cold." and say, "This meal is socks!"
Will is always climbing trees! We love hearing the things you find yourself saying that you would never thought you;d say ever. So Here is something we never imagined we'd be saying: "we're going to Bangladesh for Christmas this year!" Counting the days.
