Velbekommen .... Let's Eat

At være en del af to meget forskellige verdener er en normal ting for nogen som bor i forskellige lande end hvor hun har boet mest af sit liv. Du har en "verden" hvilket du har kaldt "hjem" mest af dit liv og du har anden "verden" hvor du bor nu, hvilket bliver "hjem" dag for dag. I aftes modtog jeg en gave..... hvor jeg så mine to verdener bliver en....og det var vidunderligt.

To be a part of two different worlds is normal for someone who lives in a different country than where she has lived most of her life. You have one "world" which you have called "home" most of your life, and you have another "world" where you live now, which is becoming "home" day by day. Last night I received a gift.... where I saw my two worlds become one... and it was wonderful.

Jeg begyndte engelsk undervisning med mine svigerforældre få måneder siden, for at hjælpe dem bliver dygtig til engelsk så de kan tale med Jess og mine forældre når de besøger mig. Jeg begyndte med substantiv ordkort hvilket hjalp dem at huske engelsk ord de har lært i skole mange år siden. Dog, de huskede så mange ord så hurtigt at jeg gav dem lidt sværere opgaver..... Min svigerfar skal skrive hans "arbejdshistorie" for at dele med min far fordi begge to har mange ting til fælles. Min svigermor skal skrive en menukort for at introducere mad på aftenen vi alle kommer til aftensmad. Som de arbejdede med deres opgaver, blev jeg mere og mere stolt af dem. Jeg var heldig fordi jeg var den eneste som vidste hvor godt deres engelsk er blevet.... til i aftes. Jeg lavede et par videoer af min svigermor som hun delte vores menukort før vi spiste aftensmad at hun har lavet til os. Jeg ønsker at min video kunne vise stoltheden på Mads's ansigt som hans mor talte til os på engelsk...det var et dejligt øjeblik i vores familie.

I began English lessons with my inlaws a few months ago in order to help them become better at English so that they can talk with Jess and my parents when they visit us. Jeg began with noun flash cards to help them recall the words they had learned many years ago in school. However, they remembered so many words so quickly that I gave them a more difficult task to try.. .My father in law should write his "career story" so he could share it with my dad as the 2 of them have a great deal in common. My mother in law should write a menu-card that she would share with everyone to introduce the meal on the night that we all came to their house for dinner. As they worked on their tasks, I became more and more proud of them. I was lucky because I was the only one that knew how great their English was becoming... until last night. I made a couple of videos of my mother in law as she shared our menu before we ate dinner that she had prepared for us. I wish my video could show the pride on Mads' face as his mom spoke English to us.....it was a precious moment in our family!
