day three.

We're still going! Day three, and I haven't given up yet. This is good.
Today, while I babysat and enjoyed myself almost too much (sarcmark, google it), my experience of the day was attempting to learn some Polish. In late July, I'm going to Poland with a missions group from my church to work in a really impoverished town. In preparation for this, we're trying to learn more about Poland as a whole. One of those aspects? The language.
I'll begin by saying that the language is read horribly different from english. For example? Jak sie masz is pronounced "yak shay mash." If you're wondering, "jak sie masz" means "how are you." Other than that, the language seems to be consistent in pronunciation, but there certainly aren't many ties to english.
I'm sure it's not going to be highly pertinent that we're able to speak the language. We'll have translators and stuff, so we'll be fine. It's just kind of fun to learn a couple new words.
This was a rather boring post. I guess there's not much to say other than that I tried to learn some Polish, and it worked a little bit. I might make a YouTube video of some of the stuff I learned at one point in time. If you haven't already checked it out, go to http://www.youtube.com/enjoyingthesun for my first video of many. I'll write something more exciting tomorrow, I'm sure.
