Do you understand?

This is Don's favorite question of his students. When he was young, he learned how to say this in Italian: capisce? He used that often. Then when he had students that could speak different languages, he added this question to his repertoire, in their language. Now when he uses a different language, his students know what he means! Here are some of these (the spellings are phonetic):

   Italian:          Capisce?

   Chinese:       Nay deong ma?

   Russian:      Tepawya?

                          pahewmaesh?

   Japanese:    Wakata?

   Telegu:         Neeku ardamy inthe?

   German:       Hast du verstanden?
