The Language
I feel like I’m finally starting to get a handle on the language here now. This sensation has been present for about a week, I guess it started when our professor told us to stop thinking about what to say and just to say it. So, I tried to do that, and guess what, it kinda works! If I don’t worry about getting it wrong and rather, just do it, I learn it a lot faster. I feel like I’m picking up most of the thinks that the professors say in Serbian, and I can talk well with taxi drivers too.
I’ve still got a long way to go before I’m fluent, but great strides have been taken. I hope that by the time this year is over I’ll be able to make casual conversation with students. Pray for patience and perseverence for all of us as we learn it.

its true he is picking up the Serbian quite well! But as often is the case it comes at a cost… Personally, I am hoping we all can pick up most of the “thinks” that the professors say in Serbian and still hold on to our english speaking skills…
hahaha
