Happy Mother's Day

Sitting here thinking it's Day 21 already!  3 weeks.....  And I am adjusting nicely :)  Today I took a stroll out to the Beach to enjoy the beautiful ocean waves, had a nice lunch and some very interesting conversation.  Wondering just how much you know about the world we live in today?  I must admit I have learned more about other countries within the last three weeks than I have known my whole life.  It amazes me that I meet people everyday who are interested in the world as a whole and not solely on the affairs of their own country.  I'm guilty of being boxed in, are you????!!!  What will you do about it?  Well I'm starting by learning another language.  It is called Xhosa and is the hardest South African Language to speak, however is the most widely spoken language in the Cape.  It's a sign of respect when you can communicate with one so that they may understand, but it also opens you up to a whole new world. Look at how many countries speak English!!!!!

Well back to the language!  It's hard!  We are already, after the third class, studying nouns and verbs as well as making sentences.  Little ole bilingual me....  German & Xhosa...He He! Ndifunda Isi Xhosa!
