...my language class!!
Actually, since I have started studying Lao, I have studied with 11 different people and 5 different teachers, but for the past month or so, I have studied pretty consistently with these folks and these 2 teachers (pictures taken from my seat in class to show you my "daily view"):
These are my classmates Craig and Rebecca. They are a married couple with two kids from Australia. I took the pictures from where I sit in class- so they are usually on my right. They make Lao class lots of fun... like the day I thought Craig said his ear hurt because his wife sings poorly- when he actually said he has a hole in his sock and his wife doesn't know how to fix it :)
And on my left sit Kenton (wears glasses) and Kirk. Kenton can make me laugh with anything he says! He has been such a gift to me in language study- laughing is so necessary. Although, some days I've had to leave the classroom because I was laughing so hard I was in tears! Kirk recently joined our class and it's been fun to study with a CAMA teammate :)
Language Blooper from last week: I told someone to take off their feet, instead of telling them to take off their shoes!
Tomorrow (12-15-09) is my last day of official language study before Christmas break . . . I'll start teaching English classes in the mornings in early January, and hope to continue to study Lao during the afternoons- teachers and classmates may change again, but I'm grateful for this opportunity to learn. Off to finish my last homework assignment for the year!
