The good word

Among the many challenges I'll face in Lesotho the most obvious may be the language barrier. Learning languages is fun, though! I like it, I'm pretty good at it and the total immersion factor will really be a bonus. Right?

Today I looked at the Sesotho alphabet for the first time. Here it is, including 4 cost-free clicks, one nasalised, the rest aspirated. Oh darn.
