ABCs

On Saturday I began Kiswahili lessons. It's time I stop depending on George to translate all the time and start to learning how to speak the language myself. I know a little bit, but I need to get serious in order to be able to speak better than a 2 year old.

In the words of Maria Von Trapp “Let's start at the very beginning... a very good place to start... when you read you begin with ABC.” During our first session, we went over the alphabet and pronunciation. My tutor is Redemta, Pastor Zach's wife, who is a pre-school teacher. She'll be coming twice a week. I admit I was restless and wanting to fast forward to forming sentences. However, I need a good foundation so I am trusting Redemta and will go slow.

So until next time.... Kwaheri! (Good bye!)
