Language Lesson #2

Hello Everyone!

Just a little update before the language lesson...It SNOWED! We were so happy to wake up one morning to everything covered in white. I know many of you are probably sick of the snow in Minnesota, but we miss it somedays. We live near a school, so here's some photos of the cute little kids playing and slipping and sliding all over the place. The report said it was 2 inches of snow, but it was all melted by noon.
The other pictures are of our friends Alissa and Abby when they came for a quick weekend visit to see some of their old hang-out places from when they spent a semester here. They went to school in the same neighborhood as we live, so they told us about some great restaurants in our area. Also, there are some pictures of some friends from our job at the opera house. Two of the women we work with play guitar, so we spent a whole Sunday just playing and eating, and playing some more. It was a lot of fun.

So, you ready for another language lesson?
Here's a few more things I've been picking up....
courgette = zuccini
aubergine = eggplant
tomato = tomato (but you have to put an accent on the "ah" sound)
innit = aint it (this is a slang term that's used quite alot by young people)
bloke = a guy
mad = crazy

OK, so that's all I can think of right now, I'll find some more words and phrases for next time.

Hope all is well for you!

Peace and Blessings,
Mandy
