My first words

I downloaded a program to help me learn a little bit of Albanian before I leave. You can learn along with me:

tungjatjeta- hello
mirëmëngjes- good morning
mirëmbrëma- good evening
natën e mirë- good night
mirupafshim- good bye

and most importantly:

Unë nuk kuptoj- I don't understand (I think I'll be using that one a lot!)

    It's not that tough. As a Peace Corps volunteer in Albania, these are the phrases you really need:

    Ckemi (pronounced ch-kay-mee) means "hello". No one (I repeat *NO ONE*) uses "Tungjatjeta".

    Cfare ben (pronounced ch-far-bun) means "What's up?"

    Mire (meer) means "Good/well"

    Po (poe) means "yes"

    Jo (yo) means "no"
