Rice Grains

This past weekend I had a nice time reconnecting with fellow teammate, Trish. She is staying in a different part of Thailand for a few months before returning to Bangkok area. We spent a fair amount of time together, including going out with two of my language classmates to the Jim Thompson House, or something like that, and then eating at a Japanese restaurant. Below is a picture of my friends at the Jim Thompson House. In order, we are Yukiko, me, Trish, and Joy. Joy is from Australia, and Yukiko is from Japan, hence the Japanese restaurant.

Monday I had my big final test for module two. I completely botched the oral, conversational part. My comprehension and speaking leave a lot to be desired. On the writing part of the test, I think I did OK. So hopefully it all evens out.

Tomorrow starts module 3, when we begin to learn to read and write Thai script. I am hoping that getting to read will help reinforce what we've already studied. However, I am told that these next two modules are even more difficult than the first two modules. So time will tell. (Ohhhhh, I just heard a word that I understood on the background TV noise here in the office at the apartment complex! They just said "Wansuk", which means "Friday!!--doesn't take much to get me excited!). Wish me the best as I continue language study!:)
