Learning Thai!
Fell in love with the real Thailand only in Jan this year.. have been there a few times b4 this .. But just to tourist attractions... This year I have been captivated by the Thai culture, Beaches, value for money shopping!! Polite/friendly people.. most of all The loads of Yummy Thai Food! So far have been to thailand 6 times this year since Jan 2006!! Love it!!!! This year has seen me through Krabi(4 times), Ko Phangan, Ko samui, Bkk, hatyai, Ko phi phi(twice),Ko lanta(twice).. looking forward to Bkk again next month!! Pity will not be there for the TF party though!!!
Tried learning the Thai language since April this year!! But to no success!! So far I have only managed to get to only the simple polite sayings! Like karp kun na ka... chiok li, tum ah rai u.. etc.. When will I be able to speak the language fluently!!! Hate failing at anything!! And this is one of them!!! When can I get thru a conversation with out stammering or trying so hard to recall certain words! Am so jealous when I see farangs on the streets speaking thai fluently.. how did they get to that stage.. so far having thai friends..buying thai cd roms... and dictionaries... are still not helping... Thinking of enrolling in cambridge language school in a couple of months for a thai course!! Hehehe.. then maybe I can show off my thai language skills by the end of the year! Wish me luck!! Why not being able to speak thai really disturbs me?.. coz.. so far I can get myself around in neighbouring countries without help! Like I speak Malay, Indonesian, Mandarin.... And travelling alone .. if u know the language... it's so much easier! After I master the thai language.. If ever!!!! Next goal is tagalog!!! hehehe.... ambitious huh??
