Monumental day today! I learned my first complete sentence in Cantanese. Today was like being in school all over again ( also my kids turned my laundry method on me- modified of course... it was point at an object I'd say English word, they'd repeat English word then they'd say Cantanese word i'd repeat Cantanese word- followed by tons of little giggles due to my poor pronunciation or complete butchering of the word) After today I've decided my laundry method needs a bit more pizzaz.... I guess I did leave out the spin cycle so maybe tomorrow i'll have to add a new component because after realizing what I put them through .... My laundry method is just about as much fun as doing actual laundry....
Now, back to my first full sentence... it was an extremely useful one so prepare yourself for this I will first type it out ( using my own phonetic spelling of course..) and then give the translation.... aw jongee sic chai donhi aw mm jongee sic yuhh.... when I asked Sally what that meant she said it means - I like to eat wegetables but I don't like to eat feesh ( I like to eat vegetables but I don't like to eat fish... v's are very tricky business) Any ways I also learned sit down( very crucial thing to know when working with kids now I can say CHAW DIE! and they will sit riggght down)
Today was a fairly good but verrrry hot and tiring day. It was a full day but for the majority of the day it went quite well and another successful day with my small group I think. Well if you're standing Chaw Die..... Enjoy your Wednesday.
