Our brains are toast.
Burnt toast.
After language learning for hours each day, struggling to pick up on minor differences in speech, tones, phrasing, and new vocabulary...
Our brains are toast.

But satisfied and happy toast, no?
Keep plugging away. You're doing an amazing job.
And I am SO glad you had a birthday party - I was wondering if something fun would happen for you. I am so glad it did!
We're remembering you in prayer, and we'll add that to specific prayers.
I LOVED the idea of the virtual birthday party! What a great surprise.
We're holding you up,

I can imagine. When Ben and I vacationed in Paris I felt like my brain needed a break from all the French I was hearing (and trying to communicate). And that was only for 10 days!
Yes, but today yours, Jess, is birthday toast! I hope your day is as wonderful as can be.
Love ya!
Hi- I've been reading your Making Home blog (and you posted on mine once), and just found your family blog! It's a fun read! If you can share here, why are you living in other countries (China and now Turkey as I understand it)?
After many years of studying Spanish, I studied in Ecuador for a semester during college. Even after all those years of study, I still had toast-brain, for the first few weeks, especially, from the constant absorption of new sounds, meanings, intonations... it's very detailed work to learn a language. I can't imagine having to learn the language from scratch! Hang in there!
