The Families Are Teaching Me Burmese!

Had a lot of fun learning Burmese from the families today. Now that I know how to say "Da-beh-lou-koh-deh-lay (What is this?).  I then say "Burma Saga" (Burmese language). I have many people to teach me now, the children especially like to join in helping me with my pronunciation.

After 6 months I hope to be able to have little conversations, not sure I can reach that level thou. Still its worth trying. I was pretty good at Thai after my first 10 months back in 1999.

It is great fun for everyone and draws lots of smiles and some laughter. People always like when you try to learn their language, it is a great way to make friends.
