In addition to classroom work later this month I’m also participating in an online language learning course. The first assignment is to create a short conversation in your desired language with the help of a translation website. No big deal, right? The second assignment is to then post the video for all the glorious world to see. Now there’s a big deal–sheesh! Consider yourself privileged to witness my lessons in both language and humility. Is there a skill-level zero????
You’re welcome.
p.s. The answer is ‘NO’ I do not have the words taped to the ceiling. Transcript of the attempted conversation is posted below the video.
French (English):
Bonjour (Hello)!
Ça va (How are you)?
Je m’appelle Travis (My name is Travis).
Comment est-ce que vous vous appelez (What’s your name)?
Enchanté (Nice to meet you).
Bonne journeé (Have a nice day).
Merci (Thank you)!
Bravo pour ta première leçon, mon ami! Prières que l’apprentissage de la langue vient facilement!!
Blessings Travis – Part of me is envious of the adventure you have been on and part of me stands in amazement. The courage you have had stepping forth and honoring God’s tugging will be rewarded. Brent and I will be praying for you and missing you. We look forward to reading your updates and will check your blog/prayer list. Brent is already looking forward to seeing you next year when he travels to Barundi for Mission meetings. (at least it looks like he will get to go) –
Take me to the other side.
I miss my friend Travis! I hope all is going well for him. I think of him often, and he remains constantly in my prayers. Praying for the best for you and the mission you’ve been chosen for.
Je m’appelle Vivki
You’ve been working on that French accent. I heard you squeak it in there.
