Hi people,
so last week about 7 students from the Thai studies group got to meet a relatively larger group of students from the english Department for lunch at the canteen, this meeting was both Academic and social.. social in the sense that we talked casually about daily activities, our various fields of studies, one of the girls Kate challenged me to speak Thai so i started by saying "chan chu bintou(my name is bintou), namsakun sonko(surname sonko), chan Majak prated Gmabia Kha(i come from the Gambia, Chan Ayu sib bpeed bpee(i am 18 years old)" they were all like oh my gosh..you can speak a bit of Thai and so this basically launched the chat as we got into other details about assignments, course requirements, shopping,movies etc.
Once thing remarkable about Thai students is that they were all excited about meeting the Thai Studies group so they quickly introduced themselves and did so almost at the same time so i grabbed a few names particularly Kate because she seemed to studied french for five years which is a language i like and asppire to be able to speak someday, and she was quite enthusiastic in getting her grades up through this exchange, the other members of the grouptalked about various other topics and talked about how their lecturer Ajan Racheal was rapidly improved her Thai Vocabulary and Language, from what i observed she was passionate about her students making the most of this exchange.
However we had like 10 minutes to get back to Graduate building for a quize with Ajan Boy, so we said our quick farewells and rushed for class. It was an interactive encounter, and i enjoyed it.
See you soon.=)
