Every Tuesday night across the country, free English classes are offered at the church. Ray and I teach the advanced class in Udon. Our students have pretty good vocabulary and grammar skills, and we continue to build on those. But we also spend a lot of time working on pronunciation. If you want to get a chuckle, find a Thai person and ask them to say "plural"! It is probably the most difficult word we've found for them to pronounce.
The night this was recorded, we played jeopardy (all in English, of course!)--categories this time included "Say the Number" (included how to say fractions and up to numbers in the billions), "Say Four" (name 4 things in a category, ie four things people collect, four things in a pocket, etc), US Geography (US city with largest population,etc), "Idioms" (ie. meaning of "spill the beans"), and "Antonyms". The students get quite competitive when we play games. There is a wide range of ages from high school to retired. It's a lot of fun, and we hope they learn something, too.
Welcome to the church we spend so much time at--and please meet our companions and friends!
