Learning a new language Ch. 6 prompt #3


What stuck out most to me was how willing Peter was to interact with the aboriginal and learn from him. He was the one who made the first move. He was quick to learn and adapt to what the bush boy told him. And he also started to learn some key words from the aboriginals language to make communication a little smoother. "Larana" meant fire, "Arkooloola" was water, and food was "Yeemara". And most important, Peter, was the one who made sure they stayed with the bush boy which was key to their survival, cause without him they would have been dead within a few days.
