learning thai language with 0 knowledge… 😰

in nus, we have to complete a certain number of unrestricted electives (UE) to graduate! and i chose thai 1 as #MyGoTo UE this semester 🇹🇭

❓ why i chose to learn thai

🫶🏼 HONESTLY big shoutout to my friend hannah! thai is super underrated in NUS and i joined partly because of her and her experience!

⭐️ i’ve always wanted to learn a new language but i didn’t know what language to take up! i thought why not take up thai because thailand would probably be a place i frequent so it’s good to know some basics 🥳

😳 how was the experience

i think the community is super wholesome! there was even a welcome tea for this module 😋 this is probably the only module that i don’t feel like everyone is vying for class part just for the sake of grades. everyone is just there to learn and have fun! granted there are still exams and oral but the environment is definitely not as competitive as other mods!

🤨 how are classes conducted

twice a week! usually session a focuses on reading and session b focuses on writing. script writing was NOT easy at all initially but practise really makes perfect!

i read somewhere that learning a new language activates some part of your brain SO try learning a new language! PS: i figured that learning a new language outside would probably be equally if not more costly so might as well spend my school fees to learn something that i actually wanna learn 🤣 all part of #Adulting101
