Polyglot

Good. I already learnt two words in Tajik. The very first one is Dushanbe which is the name of the capital but also it has its real meaning. I found out during one very fun evening. An Iranian friend of my friend explained that it actually means Monday. Yeah, Tajik language is very close to Farsi. The other word I know is salom = hello. Quite practical. Not like last year in Armenia...

My first Armenian word was hashvapa (=accountant). Are you surprised? My traineeship was in International Accountancy Training Centre. I hope you understand now.
The second word I remembered was khavaraser (=cockroach). In the same time I found out that in Russian it is tarakan. Not to make a wrong impression: We didn’t have many of them at home. Maybe some three or four during the whole summer. Just enough to never feel lonely.

When speaking about languages, I realized that again I am forgetting about writing my posts also in Czech. Shame on me. I’m a bad girl.

Saw a comment you left on another blog so I just thought I'd pop over to say hello.
So "Hello"..
