Thoughts on Communicating

So, I feel like I'm trying to convey thoughts to other people in terms of Pictionary and charades. I can't understand a word anyone says to me and I can't read anything that's written. I can't order anything off a menu unless it's a picture menu. It's kind of entertaining, but it can be pretty inconvenient too. We're actually getting along pretty well with limited words and made-up sign language.

Dear Ellie and Matt,
I love your Blog, I read it over and over again, and I feel like I'm there with you.
You haven't mentioned seeing any dogs in China, do you know if they give their dogs leftover Duck ??? Sounds pretty good to me.
