Looking at the open access summer language courses, N asked D, the Mandarin speaker: "It is difficult to learn Mandarin?"
D: "No, not really"
N: "But for English people?"
D: "Oh yes it is very difficult!"
We are learning languages! I was surprised today when E said she is looking forward to hot chocolate and D agreed. And they can really pronounce so that I can understand! Can't do this with Chinese:(
I can only say one thing in Hungarian:( should learn more, but I spend most of my time teaching them Estonian because it is funny.
So Estonian pea soup, discussing lent, I said I had pea soup yesterday. N was puzzled, what has this to do with lent. Oh yes, in Estonia it contains ham.
Making biscuits, E asked what is in them (something green) and N said peas. I said yes, peas and ham and she believed, saying that you never know with Estonian cooking. Pistachios, no peas this time!
