Buh Puh Muh Fuh
No I’m not cussing at you. This is what I have spent time learning during my first couple weeks of language school. I think I can best describe this as the “alphabet of sounds” that are used to form words in Chinese. “Buh, puh, muh, fuh” are the first four sounds of this “a
lphabet”. Their characters are on the far right side, from top to bottom. So I spent the first several lessons working on memorizing these characters and their sounds. Now I’m starting to put these characters together to form words and reading sentences. Granted, I have no idea what these words or sentences mean most of the time, but I’m just practicing recognizing the “buh puh muh fuh” so I can learn to pronounce Chinese words correctly. This week I just started learning vocabulary. So it’s kind of starting to come together a little bit.

That looks hard. I think it is great that you are learning a new language…how crazy!
We miss you!

It looks like a game of some sort…..hmmm. Let’s practice writing “I love you, Mom”. Ready, set, go!
Those foreign characters would definitely freak me out. Makes Spanish look easy
I know you really need our prayers for that! Just wanted you to know that I’ve been following you along in this journey and can already see that the Spirit of God is using you greatly. I’ll continue to lift you up brother.
