#4. Interview for my community about Thai language
After I have interviewed Tom about what would he want to study in Thai, He said that want to speak Thai because now he lives in Thailand which all people are Thai and even in school, he wants to know what people are talking about, so he won’t feel like he’s out of there.He lives in Thailand for 4 years already. I found out that he can’t really introduce himself, he only know basic one like Sa-wat-dee-krub, Kor-todd-kub, so I’ll prepare for him to be able to be proud to introduce himself. I also let him say some Thai words and he couldn’t pronounce it properly, so I’ll teach him to pronounce the correct sounds. I’ll tell him the meaning of words. I’ll teach him about school’s words, so he will know how to say it while he’s at school. I can teach him at lunch time and any free time. I will not cost time any money. My purpose is to make him speak Thai that people use it often in a daily life. I want foreigners to be able to speak Thai language because I want my country to be very popular like English. I can see that most of countries around the world can speak English and what if I want Thai language to be like that. So, I’ll start with only one guy who is Tom and if he knows more and more, then he can go teach his brother or his family, then after they know more, the knowledge of Thai language will spread out and more foreigners will know it.

I think it's great that you and Tom are going to teach each other's languages. I would suggest though, that both of you be more realistic. You only have 5 WEEKS to teach one another. Will that be enough time to learn each other's languages fluently?
