I went to go play basketball today and an asian woman wanted to play ball with us. Her name was Mi Yang or something like that. My roommates and I allowed her to play, but she kept screaming excitedly when she shot for a basket. "hyyyyahhhhhhh"
and "whaaaaa hiiii ya"
I was afraid she was going to pull some sort of kung fu move so I gaurded her poorly.
After the game she asked how much she should charge people for cleaning houses. We asked how big the house was and she said "i don't know."
We asked some other questions and realized that those were the main words she did know, "i don't know."
So we said we didn't know how much to charge for cleaning a house. She understood the don't know, so we had finally communticated effectively.
I think she'll make it in America because she had a great smile, which is pretty much all you need to make it in America. It was a fun game but we'll probably go to the other courts for a while.
