Our Life - Language School


This is the view we have for 6 or 7 hours every day. We have two teachers every hour in 50 minutes segments. The teachers change every hour. They have a different topic every hour and they speak almost exclusively in Thai. We are in the 1st level. So they speak a little slower and simpler for us. After we have reached 200 hours, we move to the next level. It is a very interesting and fun way to learn. It is amazing how much we can understand after 4 weeks. But as soon as we feel confident enough to use the Thai we have learned, we find out there are 3 other words that sound the same to our American ears but have different tones and different meanings. It is overwhelming at times. Please pray that we will have grace to learn quickly.
