learning thai..
One of my classmates here is from Korea and very fluent in Thai. He's been living here for 8 years, has a Thai wife and 2 kids. Both he and his wife a very nice people and I'm very lucky to have met them. (Really.. they help me with SO much...show me places, explain how to get around, help me with little things)
So I asked him how he learned Thai, because he didn't learn any in Korea... and he said that his wife would just talk to him in Thai. The first year was the most difficult but in the long run he is so much better off.
Basically... both of them agreed, the best/easiest way to learn Thai (for me) would be to have a Thai boyfriend.
ha.
I think that I will never be able to learn this language.
On another note.. I've decided to learn one new vocab word a day. Just one because I already have basic sentence structure and words and when I keep trying to add a lot of words I forget them all. In the future when my vocabulary gets a bit larger I will try to add more per day.
But...yesterday's word. จัดเตรียม = to prepare
today's word. สำคัญ = important
