Other great news is that we’ve officially started Thai lessons and LOVE our teacher. We are taking 20 hours of semi-private lessons (i.e. just the 2 of us) for a jump-start and then, starting July 15, will begin a series of intense classes that meet 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. We just decided that we had to get with it!! The class that begins July 15 will have a maximum of 12 students. The school is one of the well known ones where missionaries come to learn Thai, so we expect to have a class of serious learners!!
We are beginning to be able to say a few things and, as you know, every time one can say something and be understood in an Asian language, it’s a major triumph. Our new neighborhood will be good for improving our Thai as there aren’t so many farangs (foreigners) over there. Consequently, we should have a better environment to practice and use the Thai we are learning.
