Jula, part 4

Jula, part 4

June 28, 2013

Do your clothes match? Then they must be married! Here matching clothes is optional, and if they actually match you can say that by saying they’re married. I guess we’re into weddings in the US! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen any of you who are likely reading this. But here you wouldn’t […]

Jula learning – Who you callin’ a moose?

Jula learning – Who you callin’ a moose?

June 22, 2013

Jula class can make me laugh sometimes. Let me share with you the two things that made me laugh most on Friday: 1. In Jula you don’t say, “Here, kitty, kitty.” Instead you say, “Moose! Moose!” Ok, so it’s not spelled like that, but that’s what it’s pronounced like. I think my teacher didn’t quite […]

What is it, part two

What is it, part two

June 21, 2013

“What is it?” I asked. A few of you responded with your answers, but no one got it right. It’s a cemetery, of course! The mounds are where the bodies are buried. I was out there for the funeral of the big brother (in Jula there is no word for “brother” – you have to […]

Jula, part 2 – clicks

Jula, part 2 – clicks

June 21, 2013

Some of you know that before I left for My Countryf I had learned “clicks,” which are used like letters in some languages. In Jula clicks aren’t letters. They are used as sound effects, like in English. Earlier this week I learned some of them: – The “kissing” sound is used to call your dog. […]

What is it?

June 15, 2013

Can you figure out what this is a picture of? In a few days I’ll post to explain what it is and tell you about when I took it. If you check my blog before that you get to try to figure it out. . .

Learning Jula

Learning Jula

June 14, 2013

A large part of my life here is learning the Jula language. Since I’m now getting into some fun (and funny) parts of the language, I thought that you may want to join me on my adventure. So I’ll post some interesting things I’ve learned in Jula today and some in the future as well. […]

What’s on your roof?

What’s on your roof?

June 8, 2013

What happens when a child loses her teeth? Everyone knows – she puts it under her pillow and the next morning the tooth will have been replaced with money from the tooth fairy. But living in another country, it’s all those “everyone knows” things that I don’t know and have to learn. Today I learned […]

Masks

Masks

June 4, 2013

What would you think if you saw this guy walking around your town? This weekend as we were getting a tour of the old part of town, we saw several people dressed up in “masks” like this. They almost reminded me of Sesame Street characters. 🙂 It’s a traditional thing that people dress up in […]

Fun with a friend!

Fun with a friend!

June 4, 2013

I got to spend this weekend with a friend! It was great to see a familiar face from my Houghton College days and get to speak a lot of English (even though it was mixed with French and Jula so it wouldn’t be widely understood in the US). She also works in My Country right […]

Making music

Making music

June 4, 2013

Here are some traditional music instruments of My Country. The one in the middle that looks like a glockenspiel (yes, I remember that from elementary school music classes, and I can’t think of other names for it right now) is called a balafone. The traditional music sounds rather repetitive to me, so I prefer the […]
