R's and L's

As you are all probably aware of, the Japanese cannot distinguish the difference between R's and L's. They pronounce them exactly the same. So last night at dinner my host family randomly asked me to teach them how to correctly pronounce R's and L's. We started with "rain" and "lady," and progressed to "pray" and "play," which was nearly impossible for them. My host mom almost has it though! It's so exciting!

How beautiful that your new family is as interested in your language as you are in theirs.

Much Love...
