A.C. Speaks Thai

This is a short clip of me speaking Thai.

It's okay if you don't understand, just you let you guys have a listen as to how I sound like when speaking the language! (But I'm not good in Thai language, by the way)

Well french might be a bit hard because things pertaining to French is so hard to get. At least for my case, I can still get Thai magazines and newspapers from GMC, and can practice a bit of Thai when dining at the Thai restaurants there. Lately I've been surfing this website which showcases clips from Thai dramas and commercials for those who are interested in learning Thai. So what I did was I play back these clips a portion at a time while reading the subtitles, trying to figure out their pronunciation. Then at the same time I'll check out the phrases in the dictionary for their meaning. After I roughly get the meaning and the syntax of that particular sentence, I'll play back this same portion over and over while trying to speak like in the clips. I'm not sure about other people, but this is one "memorise by hard" way which has proven to be a bit of help to me so far

that's a good idea but like you said, there are not so many resources for french. I can probably BUY them but they normally cost a bomb. haiz.. learning is a language is very ex. The french school now charges $324 every 2 months for 2 lessons per week~! When I first joined, it was $294.

Or maybe you can find if there're any websites which teaches French with the aid of popular media like music or TV. I think that's the closest thing you could do, or since we're now living in the digital world, go find some French speaking cyber-friends! =D I have a Thai friend in MSN, and I'm always bugging him with questions.. hahaha.. (it's "pay back time" for him, since he always ask me question regarding English while he was still studying last time.. hee..)
