Itâs Datâs first day of school in a new country! Dat and his Mah made a long journey to get here, and Dat doesnât know the language. To Dat, everything everybody says â from the school bus driver to his new classmates â sounds like gibberish. How is Dat going to make new friends if they canât understand each other?
Luckily thereâs a friendly girl in Datâs class who knows that there are other ways to communicate, besides just talking. Could she help make sense of the gibberish?
