Before coming here, I<br />even heard a rumor that there was atmosphere that people were only allowed to speak English after all French-related<br />people were deported at the end of last year. But it has turned out that most people here still speak French except for<br />young people who are educated recently or immigrated people from English speaking countries such as Uganda or<br />Tanzania. At UNDP Rwanda, many people speak English, French and ikinyarwanda, Rwandan local and common language,<br />without any difficulties. So, this is a very challenging situation for me, who is even not good at speaking English. In order to<br />make the situation as better as possible, I am now studying both French and ikinyarwanda every other day after my office<br />hours. But as my ikinyarwanda teacher teaches us in French, I am facing another challenge as well. Although I have an<br />experience to have studied Chinese in English from a Chinese teacher when I was studying in Canada, I have no idea so far<br />how I can master those languages this time. Specifically, the grammar and vocabulary of ikinyarwanda are extremely<br />difficult. But still, being able to make small conversations with taxi drivers or guards at gates in French or in ikinyarwanda is<br />fun. Also, when my colleague, others and I visited a town named Gikongoro during the genocide commemoration week (it<br />was for one week from April 7th this year) where there was a facility that preserved horrible memories of genocide in 1994,<br />I had the following chat:<br />(I in very primitive and broken French) ‘So, what was this facility during the time of genocide?’<br />(Reply from a soldier who was joining the commemoration ceremony) ‘It was Rwanda…’<br />That exchange was just a miscommunication without doubt, but I was really impressed by the poetic response.<br />(Page 1/2)<br />＜「「「※イおこあ「チはんりムニよにが」アうちとは」ルはう複」」＝ワ数の＝＝「ン相「「（ダのム手（（ムムや簡）））敬単ゥなゥゥ意ワを挨ィララ示拶リコム＞すウゼツ」際ェェ？使ホ？」用」<br /><Basic greetings in ikinyarwanda><br />‘Good morning’ = ‘(M)waramutseho?’<br />‘Hello’ = ‘(M)wiriwe?’<br />‘Thank you’ = ‘(M)urakoze’<br />* Add ‘M’ for speaking to more than one person or showing respect<br />__<br /> </div>        <div class="both10"></div>      </div>          </div>  <!-- end of left_box -->  </div><!-- end of pagebody_outline -->
