I decided to order a book and CD called Simple Amharic Language for Adoptive Families by Amy Kendall. It contains hundreds of helpful phrases and words to learn such as "This is your brother", "snack" and "Let's get dressed".
Eager to learn the language of their new (future) siblings, my kids ripped open the package, played the CD and flipped through the book. What is the natural, first thing that my little darlings chose to memorize? It's pronounced, LIB-seh lie ah-tish-NAH.
Translated:
"Please don't go potty in your pants."
Hilarious.
(at least it was to a 9 and 11 year old) :)
