I've really loved learning this new alphabet. I think all that I'm good at is best demonstrated in Kindy - remembering lots of details, writing neat little letters over and over. And I still love the teacher's praise just as much this time round!
Here is a sample of my homework book... the first letter of the Thai alphabet: 'g'. Every letter in the alphabet has a matching word. 'g' has 'gai' (chicken).
't, patak' - makes a sound half way between English t and d. There are 44 consonants in Thai.
Numbers 5 - 9. Thankfully Arabic numerals are used much more than Thai. But sometimes things are cheaper if you can read the Thai numbers...
A sample of vowels. The vowels are ridiculous. There are 35 vowels (actually there are different ways to count the vowels, but I've learnt 35.)
And Victor and Khaw resting while I do my homework.

Your chickens are beautiful, Rachel. I am going in to see if I can find the chicken on your list here. V so often fell asleep like that here, without Kow cat.
i'm impressed rach, it's been 6 months now, and I am sure it all will get easier. T
I passed Kindergarten!
Did you find the chicken, Mum? That poster will make sense to me next time I see it.
Yes, we've passed 6 months. It is definately getting easier. It's starting to be my place now, not just Victor's. Though I still miss home lots.
