Finished at language school

Wow, some days I didn’t think I’d make it.  But as of last week I, Lawrence, have finished formal language study here.  Now I know how a young child feels.  First, by saying what you want to say with only the words you have learned so far.  Second, and most importantly, learning how to take getting laughed at when the word you choose isn’t quite ‘spot on.’

To complete the course, a ‘paper’ had to be written.  I wrote on different places to live here, from the simplest of houses to high-rise apartements.  If you are interested, you can click here and read my paper.

Language will continue to be something that has to be worked at.  Honestly, sometimes I can’t speak English right!  Our upcoming move to Borneo will, I am sure, bring some  variations to the national language.  It is our desire to speak like the locals.
