Watching this white dude teach Thai on Youtube. He’s actually pretty good! But as I was listening to the lessons, I never realized how good my listening actually was (at least when listening to foreign speakers and not fast hipster, trendy, teen-speak, Thai lingo). In one of his videos, he uses and explains a common idiom ไปไหนมา (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUNUUGRMQaI). Basically, they’re words that make sense on their own but mean something different when combined together. I’ll be teaching the same thing in my own English classes, but this is usually reserved for the upper intermediate – advanced courses.

This boosts my confidence in understanding Thai. BUT. My speaking still sucks and my writing is non-existent. Sooo. Sonofa…equally as useless haha. No matter – I care more about Chinese any way…which I suck even more at currently. alksjdf;laksjf Urgh.
