HI, I'm Avery. From Singapore. 22 f here.. Stays in the west.
Likes to club, pool and pubbing.. Is currently learning thai language.. Takes a lot of patience and a good memory is
essential. But sad thing is, there's nobody in Singapore
to practise speaking thai with me...

SaWadee Karp thai_girl, korp khun mark for supporting my thread although u aren't khun Singapore......nevertheless hope to see u around, love your music though

And hi Avery, nice to know u... Stays in the east, been self learning thai through phrase book, cds, etc. Would have hope to go for a thai language course but miss the august window..Personally find this forum very useful...I'm in the same predicament as u, sadly for learning a language, the fastest way to learn is to hear, speak and use it as often as possible so it stays in there... sigh

Hi guys,

26/m here. Just came back from Thailand, been working there for the past 8 months. Really grown to love the culture and the language while i was there. And like u, Koon Genesis, there is a very high chance of me moving to Thailand.
would like to know more friends with common interest in the country and its language.
=)

Hi derrick!
Khop khun maak for starting this thread dude! As with many of the dudes and dudettes here, i share the same predicament.. No one in singapore seems to speak the language! hahaha! until I found your thread! Grins!

before i continue, heres my intro:
Name: Shanna
Gender: Female
Country: Singapore
Age Group: 26
Languages: english, chinese, now learning to read and write and speak thai
Interests: going to the beach, listening to thai songs, bossanova, cafe del mar stuffs, wakeboarding if I'm really free and can find khahis, travel, hahah! and all things thai too! LOL!

One day, i will wanna stay there for good, probably say in 5yrs time...

I'm now staying near Tanah Merah, living pretty much like a semi-slacker cos I've been only allocated to work 9days this month.

hey all, aa tit naa wan tii sip haa gor sip hok ja pai krungthaep. Want anything?
Oh, 30th Nov and 1dec also. nearly forgotten. hahaha!

Most likely on the 15th, I'll be at Suan Lum touching up my tattoo, so you guys can also prepare a shopping list from there or MBK or Siam Square.

Anything just contact me la.

Cheers!

Genesis, thanks for starting the thread. It's also really heart-warming to see all the sincere replies that followed.

I am in the sam predicament as many of you too. Currently, I am trying to learn the language without attending classes. I know that can be quite challenging. Do drop me a note if you think we can get together and accelerate our learning through sharing and speaking the language. I am sure it will help a great deal.

A liitle about myself...

I'm glad to see some responses, in fact it's better than what I've anticipated.... I've noticed that from the response that u guys have given me, most of u agree on the idea of learning from each other but I realise that there's a problem, we cannot learn from each other without a proper mode of contact...like email, contact no..or this forum, etc ,any suggestion will be welcomed as not all people will agree on leaving their contact no. that easily on an open forum...:: Thanks again..
