#6. Community Service plan

My community service is about teaching Thai language to foreigner. My purpose is to make he able to join Thai-people's conversation while they're eating at the restuarant or they're at school. The person that I will teach is my Taiwanese friend who is living here in Thailand for 4 years and he couldn't speak or join the conversation. I will prepare for Tom by starting with writing the words on the card and makes him read it, pronounce it, repeat the words and try to remember them. Then after he learns many words, I will teach him to use those words to speak in a sentence. We might have a technology studying like, using a webcam to see each other face and then talk by the microphone. I will teach Tom on Saturday for five weeks with no cost. I think the challenge that I will face is the time. Maybe Tom or me might be busy on the day that we will have a lesson. So I have to make a time table for myself and make sure that I will be free on that day and also for Tom. Another challenge that i would face is anger of Tom because Thai language is difficult, so he might takes long time to remember it, so I need to be calm for him to feel comfortable to study with me. Those are what I have plan so far.

  1. Yes, indeed, being calm and patient will help your student to learn the language. You can also find other methods to help him remember vocabulary and language. Think about how you learned English. What worked for you?
