Speaking this language has become fun for me. Yep, fun.
I'm not particularly good at it, and have trouble finding words often, but it's still fun. I get joy out of successfully communicating (and isn't that the point?).
In the words of Loris Malaguzzi (the founder of the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood curriculums):
"Nothing without joy."
Words to live by.
This is one of so many break throughs I can't wait to have! Although after being here 6 months now Im still a long long way off. Maybe by next christmas?
