Pashtu alphabet memorized. 44 letters each morphing into different shapes depending on where they are in the word. Once you get the logic though it's not too bad. I judge my Pashtu handwriting at about the 1st or 2nd grade level. So now I can sound words out I just don't know what they mean.
We are teaching our Afghan instructor American idioms (though he knows most already). Today was "cook the books" and "touchy feely." The first one was easy to explain but the second one was little harder to clear up...

Very impressed with your alphabet progress! I'm thinking that by the time you are done with that poor instructor, he will think all of us who speak this thing called "English" are crazy.
