erm, ma bujhdina (meaning 'I don’t understand' in Nepali)

On our first day as volunteers in the office we were hurriedly rushed into the lounge for our first Nepali lesson. Our teacher, Mandakini, is very patient. Thank god. Having not studied a foreign language since secondary school there are many pregnant pauses and much  forehead rubbing. However we are determined to persevere, if only so we can have a proper conversation with Sunita and Babu (the highly-entertaining gatekeeper & caretaker).
