Emam ngayeni ayong (I don't understand)

I've started learning Ngkaramojong! Though it makes me excited I've discovered I'm not a linguistic prodigy. I've been introduced to a woman named Helen who is to be my language helper. She is in 6th grade but she thinks she is 25 or 26 years old. Both of her parents were killed many years ago by k-jong raiders. She never started school as a child but she's been given a change now and she's taking it. She has lived in Soroti for nearly 10 years now. She teaches and talks quickly and I really have to work to keep up but I am looking forward to the challenge.
