We are not REQUIRED to learn a language, but since Liz's father was born in Croatia, she wants to learn the language. The church encourages us to learn the language, too. Their encouragement means we have access to the language learning tools developed at BYU, and private tutoring from now until we've been in Croatia for two months.
I've started the lessons. Liz hasn't, yet. Good news: it has the same alphabet as we are used to. Bad news: It has lots of variations we are not used to. Example: There is C, but also Ć and Č. D has Đ and DŽ. Some of them are easy to pick up and some of them I am still working on.
I am on to doing lessons that are common word pronunciation drills. It has the meaning of the words, but the focus is how to say the new combinations of letters. The BYU program makes it kind of fun, so I'm happy with it overall.
