Just now, my host mother Elizabeth - or we call her Betchy, wrote on her computer screen through google translate: "Lynn, anything you need, let me know. I am connected to google."
So I responded:
She is so sweet! She speaks Portuguese, but she's still learning English. She is a personal trainer and works random hours. She has one daughter who is in Northern Brazil studying.
I am living in her house with a friend I met two weeks ago in DC, Bethany, Chris, and two doggies! Chris is a student I met tonight. He is also studying abroad, he's been here for two weeks and will stay here for six months. He's been translating for us and cooked dinner for Bethany and me. Tomorrow, he will wake up early to take the bus with us to our host university tomorrow. Wee! (Stay tuned for pictures! Hehe)
After reading and pronouncing the words aloud together, She responded to me:
"We will learn from each other."
Fortunate,
Lynn
