I figured it out!!!!

What's that? Am I posting a blog with question marks, commas, capitals, and apostrophes, all from the confort of my host family's house? I think so!!

So my big accomplishment of the day was trying to explain the difference between who and whom to non-native English speakers. I was thinking...jeez, no native speakers even use these correctly... so I spent like 20 minutes talking about direct and indirect objects, subjects, etc... only to conclude by saying that who is generally accepted in place of whom. Oh well. I am destroying the English language little by little.

So yesterday I had-you guessed it- mint tea. With a shopkeeper that I had just met. In some countries, that might be weird. So I spent a few minutes trying to figure out which of the three S words he wanted (sex, sale, or steal) only to discover that he was just a nice guy. He talked about his wife, did not try to sell me anything, and said I should come back for tea again sometime and meet his wife. I was baffled, but in a good way.

So one of my students invited me to have lunch on Friday. Is it inappropriate to accept? I'm not sure about that one. Muslim Friday is like the Christian Sunday, so I definitely don't want to get caught in an awkward situation. At the same time, it is a very nice invitation and one that I think has only good intentions. I am going to sleep on that one.

Okay well I am exhausted but I just wanted to blog about my success on the French keyboard!!!
