Our newest challenge

We have officially started taking "formal" chichewa lessons. For the last many weeks we have tried to learn just using books and talking to some people. Although we did learn it was too easy to not learn. The Lord directed us to a German man that has lived in Zambia for 59 years. He agreed to teach us from a simple book but did caution us that his learning style is a bit "old fashioned". Of course that means we are in for a lot of memorization!!

We had lesson 1 (of 47) this morning. He gave us probably 15 words and 10 phrases to memorize plus 15 exercises to complete by tomorrow morning. At least he doesn't expect much from us :-)
