I had my first Nepali lesson yesterday (Monday). I have been booked in for two two-hour lessons a week so I hope I will be able to say more than just Dhanyabad (thankyou) and Namaste soon. It's amazing how words sound alike in different languages, (such as name and 'nam', and 'ma' for me) even those which I didn't think were related at all. I will have to ask Cristina about this. Although don't let this fool you - the majority of words are not so easy and there's the written side of things to conquer. We focused a lot on names this week. We only used mother, father and friends as subjects so after naming Mum, Dad and some friends I had to name some friends of Mum and Dad and then it got trickier. I had to name all my grandparents and then some of their friends names!
