Language Proficiency Exam

This one is a little bit late, but I had a language proficiency exam about a week ago and did great!  I did better than I thought I would, scoring at Intermediate Low.  Most volunteers scored at novice high; we all have to score at Intermediate Mid by the time training is over.  This means I have about two solid weeks to master this language before I have my final exam.  I'm pretty sure I will be there though, seeing how I've been able to get pretty good at the language in the short 7 weeks that I've been here.  In the case that any of us do not meet the language requirements at the end of our 10-week training, we will be put on a language contract which will require us to work with a language tutor at our site.  After 3 months of being tutored, we will be tested again and if we are still not at the required level, we will be sent home.  Word on the street is that no one is ever really sent home; once you're at site and speaking Kinyarwanda all day, every day, you pretty much just start to pick things up.  I don't want to have to deal with a language tutor though so let's cross our fingers, say our prayers, and do our good luck dance so that I can ace the next test!

Love and Peace Corps,
