To kinda give you an idea of what we know so far, I’ll let you listen in on a conversation my co-workers and I had with one of our friends…<\/p>\n

\"Visiting<\/a>
Visiting our Nahuatl friends<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We spoke in Spanish, Nahuatl<\/strong>, and English<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it went…<\/p>\n

My co-workers and me:<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Nahuatl friend:<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi!\u00a0 How are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m fine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Come in.\u00a0 Child, go get some chairs. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sit down.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

What have you been up to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing much.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>What have you been up to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am teaching.<\/strong> (home-schooling Josiah)<\/p>\n

What else can we say?\u00a0 Eat!<\/em><\/p>\n

I eat.<\/strong> Sleep!\u00a0 How do you say sleep again?<\/em><\/p>\n

We slep<\/strong>.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 We seep<\/strong>.\u00a0 No, we sleep!<\/strong><\/p>\n

You all sleep together?\u00a0 or separately?<\/p>\n

SEPARATELY!!<\/p>\n

If you sleep together, you say “We sleep (together.)”<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you sleep by yourself, you say “We sleep (apart.)”<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s a huge difference!\u00a0 We need to learn that!<\/em><\/p>\n

Can I record you?<\/p>\n

We sleep (together.) <\/strong>We sleep (apart.)<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

I bathed really early this morning.\u00a0 The water was freezing!\u00a0 Cold water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you say cold water<\/strong> or water cold<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Water cold.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s what I thought!<\/em><\/p>\n

Your pig is really big!\u00a0 Big pig. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s some corn from our garden.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How much?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing. It’s a gift.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, we’re going now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go ahead!<\/strong><\/p>\n

See you later.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m waiting here for your return.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
