My Burmese is improving each day I am in the Mae Sot. Little by little in the dump, in town, with Khun Noy as we drive the vocabulary is expanding. The more I learn to say the better my interaction with. my subjects. I have for example got good at asking people their names NAUMAE BAU LAY? and how old are you, ANTHEH BEH LAO LAY (do videos of that process). Today I learned the words for don't move, NING NING and good GONG DAH.
Am not sure how polite my Burmese is, probably not very, but at least I can communicate. I might also be learning some Karen words thinking they are Burmese. An interesting fact I learned two days ago is that both the Burmese and Karen language share the same written script. I need to learn to read and write I. Burmese.
