Learning Local Languages
A few weeks ago, Sonja had the opportunity to take a order Prozac two-week course on the ins and outs of the language spoken by most people in our town. Even though our French and Arabic helps us to converse with most people in the market, as well as local officials, many of the smaller communities in Chad, such as Iriba, are comprised of one group of people who all speak the same language. Did you realize that the country of Chad has more than 100 different people groups, each with their own distinct culture and language?
