Halfway to Somewhere

It’s official. We’ve just completed our eighth week of language learning, the half way mark of our schooling. We have a break next week and we couldn’t be more thankful…and thankful is most appropriate as many of you celebrate Thanksgiving back home in Canada. Have that extra piece of turkey for us!

Our final assignment before the break was to go into town and to zungumza, which means to converse. And guess what? We can actually (kind of/somewhat/sort of) carry on a conversation in Swahili with Tanzanians! Considering how were feeling about our language learning a few weeks ago, that is something we are very, very thankful for.
