We are trying to learn the language here now that we've moved. I can almost read (slowly- but hope to improve!); they have a different alphabet than English. The kids also hope to learn the language and can say "Thank you," "Hello," and a few other phrases. It's frustrating not knowing the language! Yesterday we went out to eat and had a hard time ordering the food. I have food allergies so we were also trying to ask which things don't have meat. When I was pregnant with my 2nd kid years ago I had a hard time with meat (I would throw up) and had the same problem when I was pregnant with our 3rd child. After he was born, I tried to eat meat again but still felt yucky after eating meat. So I just gave up eating meat. However, it means that going out to eat as a family is often very difficult, no matter where we are. I've resolved to just bring my own food (normally a sandwich since it's fast) because most often I end up watching the kids and my husband eat food that I can't eat. Well, I could eat it, but I feel super yucky afterward. I also don't do eggs either- they really make me want to throw up. Yesterday, we ordered fried rice...but it came with lots of eggs (we didn't know it would) so I couldn't eat it either. It's just much easier for me to eat at home most of the time; which I don't mind. However, if we ever go to someone's house, I should try to learn how to explain that I have food problems in the local language so I won't offend them. Below is some of the food we got at the restaurant yesterday.
