Given how much time I spend in the car with Peter (MOH Driver), we have decided to make use of it with Nyanja lessons. He first explained that musungu meant “white person”, but this I did not need translated, as 4 out of 5 people say this word as I walk by. In South Africa I was mlungu and in Zambia, I am musungu. However, my favorite new word so far is yeweo, which means “yes”.

Haha - "yeweo" sounds like that sound you and Leigh always make.
