Anyone speak Burmese?

I've got a new family in my school from Burma. They don't speak any English and to say the least, I'm having trouble talking with the father and the uncle of the children. We've been drawing pictures back and forth so far but it's getting frustrating for them. I have not been able to locate a Burmese translator in my area yet soooooooooooooo........I turn to my QZers who always save my ass.

Please help. :)

Lisser, this aint much to start with but its all I could find so far

At least you know how to write the days of the week in Burmese now. If I find anymore I'll let you know, ok

I also found this site.

In this site you will find an online dictionary for English to Myanmar (the new name for Burma)

Hope that helps as well

Thank you! But I've found through some research so far that the USA is not recognizing the new name the militia government has given the country. Most other UN countries are not recognizing it either bc their government refuses to acknowledge the violation of human rights that happens there.

I'm still reading up on the country though but thank you so much for the links!!!!

You are most welcome Lisser. Had no idea about the Human Rights stuff there. You learn something new everyday

A Bernese mountain dog? My mom has wanted one for years. I think it'd sweat to death here, though. ;-)

I want a Burmese python. They're just so sweet and cuddly.
