Part III: “Am I saying this right?”
By Lee Longhorn
Languages can be fun to learn. When you are around people from other cultures, it’s always good to learn bits and pieces of their language. A couple of months ago, I posted on my Hmong friend’s wall on Facebook in the Creek language. Basically, I just said “Happy Birthday.” He responded, “Thank you my friend,” in Hmong. Now we both meant what we said but it was interesting seeing it in two different languages. I like when things like that happen.

No, dear friends, this is not a repeat of the introduction from my first blog entry, although they are written in the same language family.
