Study, study, study... Myself and the Leese family have been very busy learning the local language. Talk about grammar! :-) It's been great fun and also very challenging. We've still got a loooong way to go (learning a foreign language is definitely not an overnight thing!) but as they say..."malo po malo"..."little by little" we're getting there. Apart from the actual classes, it's been great picking up words and phrases by just listening to my friends or even reading the subtitles on the television screen. Last Friday I attended our church youthgroup for younger kids (5-9 year olds). We played the game “Šimun kaze” (Simon says) and it was so much fun to learn the words for knees, elbows, head, stomach etc!The people in BiH are generally very kind and helpful when it comes to learning their language. They are wonderful teachers and don't mind to correct or help you if you don't know how to say something. I am really looking forward to see how much I will have learnt in 3 months time. Hopefully by then I'll be speaking more as well!
Take care, L xx
