I wish I could be there...not to get in the way of your bonding...just to watch your face and his as you keep discovering things.

This, very much.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

squirrel can be exceedingly hard to pronounce

Harder than pronouncing écureuil ?

Aerospatiale had a helicopter model by that name. I knew it meant "squirrel," but never figured out how to pronounce it. I think it was a common problem -- they later re-named it the "A-Star" for the North American market.

I have a Amharic speaker at work if you end up in a pinch msbelle...

That would be sort of funny. "Let me go grab this partner and have her talk to a kindergartener and find out what he's saying".

(She totally would though)

Harder than pronouncing écureuil ?

Good point. Although the "reuil" in écureuil is much easier than the "rueil" in Rueil-Malmaison, so it could be worse. Much worse.

What is even happening?

I didn't even know about the Amharic language until Nilly mentioned it, over the past couple of days.
