Dear Mama

Dear Mama,

Ekseee! (Nkgotlas’ voice)

Ke gorigile sentle – in Mala Lehota, Slovakia. Motsana e le ruri! Ke bo Mmashoro jaana; Mmathubudukwane; fa e se Kgomokasitwa. This is my third visit, maybe fourth. They love me here, who wouldn’t? You were right – ba ntshwere ka matsetseleko.

Letsatsi lea lela gore! Gape, mathata ke Seesemane, only Miska le her cousins speak English. But ga ba yo; ba ko Johane. I have to learn Slovak waitse! Ka o itse ke balabala, I can still communicate ke sa bue! I love the food: especially madombi a na le jam fa gare; le halusky. Halusky (pronounced halushky) is very-small dumplings made of potato dough, optionally topped with a special sheep cheese, and bits of fried bacon. E monate gore! Le fa e sisimosa mmele!

To cut the story short ( Moruti Motha’s voice): mma ke tsamae ba tloga ba ntshia, re a go hula di-mushroom – ko sekgweng.

Pelo e tshweu,

Mokhose

P.S. O mpeele mmidi wa lechotlho hoo. Ke etla ka boipuso!
