At dinner tonight two of my native friends were trying their hand at a few english phrases, which turned out to be quite entertaining. My favorite was probably when Jessica turned to me with a proud grin and said,
"Shauna... don't tell me what to me."
Trish, Tiff, and I kind of sat there confused, and then Vale, another native friend shook her head...
"no, no. you say, don't tell me what to you"
We cracked up laughing when we realized that what they were actually trying to say was,
"don't tell me what to do."
All us ACA have had our share of embarrassing moments, that's for sure. It felt good to finally be on the other side of things. Haha. Learning a new language sure is entertaining...

Learning a new language can be great fun. This blog reminds me of when I was new in Tanzania and I confused the words for "good" and "beautiful," so when people asked, "How are you today?" I responded, "Beautiful!"
