Learning Thai

Learning Thai is hard.

I had my first lesson with my teacher, A, on Thursday. We went through tones, consonant and vowel sounds, and the numbers. Not only do you have to master an entirely different alphabet, but the tone of voice in which you say a certain word can alter the meaning drastically.

I’ve paid for ten 90-minute lessons, hopefully by the time I’m done I’ll at least be able to order dinner without embarassing myself…
