Back in the saddle

My days of being a Dari language student have come to an end. (Yes, I actually did learn a bit of Dari.) Now its time to prepare for a one year all expense paid trip to Afghanistan. I will be working on a few items in my spare time. Getting back in to shape (the shape I imagine in my head) and learning the Guitar & Ukulele ( Read more... )

guitar, exercise, shred, ukulele, dari, language, rip

کمی زبنی دری درم. زبنی دریم خوب نیست.

Unfortunately, I worked more on my speaking than typing. Now I have to figure out how to import a Farsi or Dari keyboard into my Mac so that I can teach myself how to type. Oh, and my spelling is HORRIBLE in Dari.

Right you are! I can read a little and write a little less. Currently, speaking is my strongest weak point. I have found that transliteration incorporates all of the individual's accent, so from one person to another it varies. So, I have tried to read without transliteration. It has helped some. Hopefully, at some point I will be able to think fully in Dari, instead of translating from Dari to English and back again.

Yay for people that blog about guitars and exercise!

Yay for Rip Shred and wd40 (maybe not in the same sentence).

Rippin & Shreddin, Kid.

I think I'm going to have to replace the WD40 for a Mai Tai. Or, come up with the "R&S Special #7".
