Sorry everyone. I am just checking the comments posted on the site.... today. So... per my mom's request here are some of the things I have been asked .....

Some basic phrases in Twi

Hello - don't think there is any actual translation, people just say Hello in English

but.... you can say good morning/afternoon/evening

good morning = Ma akye (ma-augh-chain but make the n silent)
good afternoon = Ma aha (ma-augh-haa)
good evening = ma adwo (ma-augh-dwa-o)

goodbye = nante yie (non-tea-yeh) = walk well/safe journey/goodbye during daytime
= da yie (die-yeh) = good night

nice to meet you = not sure about that
but we will meet again = yebehyia bio (yeh-bay-shia-be-o)

thank you = meda ase (may-da-augh-say)
please = mepawokyew (may-pa-woe-cho)

I'm hungry = ekom de me (a-comb-day-me)
I'm tired = ma bre (ma-braid but the d is silent)
Let's go = yenko (yen-co)
stop = gye (jugh-i, but say it fast)
what is your name? = wo din de sen/ye fre wo sen? (woe-din-day-sane/ yeh-fray-woe-sane)

Areas at the village:

5) Steinhagen house (my house)
6) Westphalian Eye Clinic (where Mrs.Esaw is the Dr.)

What I have to do for school???

I have to write 4 reports in total.

Report #1: Organization/Project Analysis (due Aug. 20th)

-for this I am shadowing all the various areas of the project, and the different departments within them. I have to come up with an analysis of how the project is ran, the history, the aims, who reports to who, flaws, things that are working well, etc.

Report #2: Critical Incident Journal/Proposal for Research (due Aug. 20th)

-for this I am to analyze myself in the internship thus far, and any incidents that have occurred good or bad and how they were handled. Also my proposal for research of which I will be doing in the fall is also due. I am yet to decide concretely on what I want to research. I was thinking something in the hospital... but not sure yet. Hopefully by the end of the month, and seeing many of the different areas in the project I will have a better idea what I will want to research.

Report #3: Research paper (Due in Dec. when I return)

Report #4: End of internship/semester feedback (due in Dec. when I return)

So.... that is what I am working on. In addition to my twi lessons 2-3 times a week, and my online classes!!! haha. :):) The fun never ends!!!
