Two Week Countdown

Tick-tock, tick-tock, time to start the countdown. Fingers are still crossed because it's all so unpredictable...knock on wood. In the meatime, while I wait and work on the lesson plans, it's a good time to learn some of the language. Could I find a Nepalese phrase book at the library? No. Am I going to buy one? No. So, of course, I headed to the ol' internet and came upon some good sites. I'm starting with this video tutorial and am writing out the phonetics. It's not scientific or accurate but it will get me started and comfortable with the sound of the language. There's no chance I'll be able to read any of it. Let's be realistic. So where do I start. At the beginning: Namaste. K chhaa? Teekai chha!
