This week my language partner taught me how to ask for time, how to give time, and one verb, waycu (to cook). We facetimed for this lesson again, began with a short drill session that counted as my quiz, and then began by learning new phrases and words. The verb cook is very important for my learning goal in this case because in Bolivian markets you can not only buy produce and home goods, but also breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Meals are prepared in the food court area of the market and you must ask the vendor for your dish, usually in Quechua or Quechuañol. I have heared the phrase waycu before because vendors would sometimes tell my mom or my grandma that they had not waycusani (cooked) a specific dish that my family was asking for that day.
