Classes

This week our group started our official classes at the National University of Mongolia. We have class from about 9 am to 12pm. The time is split between two sessions. Everyday we have a different combination of conversation, grammar or lectures on various Mongolian issues/topics. We are grateful for our opportunity to learn Mongolian with the professors here, because the language has many sounds that we can't distinguish and uses a sentence structure quite different from English. After classes we grab lunch from a local restaurant, and meet again around 2pm to visit museums, go to the opera, and do other exciting events that help us explore the city, and understand the culture.


This weekend we will go to the countryside! I personally can not wait!! I love the essence of the countryside here. We will travel to Terelj, which is Mongolia's first national park. We will be gone for the weekend, and we are taking our conversation teachers with us. Stay posted for reflections on our trip.
