Hello, my name is

We meant to post this one a while back but didn’t get a chance to do so. Somehow it’s hard to be disciplined and sit down to organize the pictures we’ve already got. Heh…

Anyway, in preparation for our trip we figured it would be fun and practical to make Tshirts with our names on it. Good chance to use the Tshirts-kun we’ve got (a fabulous screen-printing machine for Tshirts). We mainly wear the shirts when we do the volunteer work or when we meet a group of new faces, so they know what to call us. Eight years experience of hearing people deal with the challenge of pronouncing my name bears fruit! We figured out the best way to phonetically spell my name for Spanish speakers. tongue laugh

It is: Bre-jjj-che.

  • hoi brejjjche,

    nu gaan ze (dus) brechtje noemen, maar zeggen we niet allemaal ‘bregje’, dus “brejjjlle” in het spaans?

    groetjes
