That's only one of the many humerous gibberish phrases we learned yesterday at our EFL (English as a Foreign Language) workshop. We spent about an hour of our workshop time learning this 'new language' in an environment which communicated solely in Gibberish. Giving us an idea of how difficult it will be for our students in Nicaragua. Seven members of our group plan to lead English classes for three days at Campo Alegria. We are offering them free of charge (Praise God!) to any adults living in the area whom wish to come and broaden their language knowledge.
Learning English has many advantages to the people of 'Nica'. It opens new job opportunities to them in the field of tourism industry; it gives them a sense of accomplishment on learning a new task, and succeeding at doing so. And also, it brings the adults to the camp so that we may share with them the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The workshop we attended was a shortened 8 hour version of the usually two-day long venture. You can learn more about EFL workshops through contacting the North American Mission Board at www.namb.net
