8 months!
Changana is getting better every day, so it seems, but the progress is going to be so much slower than Portuguese, because I'm not forced to use it as much and I can't just use cognates (but I can cheat and use Portuguese).
Nimi came into town today and we hung out for a bit. He bought $1.25 worth of oranges - one rice sack full. Incredible. And Dona Maria received a package from her son in the US today, with some US money I'll help her exchange. I think the money didn't look real to her, as Mozambican money at first didn't for me.
Peace
