Forgotten Quirks: Commercials...
If I was devoted to learning something from watching cable here, then I could have been fluent in the basics of the Hindi language.
Every commercial is in Hindi.
Alas, I have only learned that 'Abkah' and 'Hay' is said a lot.

Forgotten Quirks - Charades
I forget how charades is game I play daily while I live overseas.
Except this game's outcome will determine if the other person will understand what I am trying to say in Dari (not English!).
Don't get me wrong, I have conquered the language basics. I can speak and communicate. I can tell stories. However, there are still some vocab that I just don't know... or forget...
And at those times... charades is a game that has become my best friend.
Maybe one day I will have a series of pictures of me speaking to a local in a language other than English...
So until then, enjoy imagining it!
