Introduction
Hello.
I'm Ammy and would like to meet a diversity of people. I am learning Afrikaans, but would like to learn other African lanuages. However, I am open-minded and would share my English skills with anyone willing to learn.

Hi Ammy!
My name is Jom from Thailand.
I know a little bit of Zulu because I am an exchange student in SA and stay with zulu family in PMB:)
Zulu is a hard language. I think it is harder than Afrikaans.
I do not know much. Just basic greeting and some word:)

Re:Thai Language & Zulu Language. Re:Introduction
Hello Mr. Jom
Sawadee. I like to learn some basic simple greetings and
idioms and phrases and sentences and, words within
the Thai language and Zulu language.
That is nice and good and wonderful and interesting that you know a little of the Zulu culture and language, because of being an exchange student in South Africa, and stay with a Zulu family in PMB. What is PMB?
I think that all spoken and written languages are easy when we study and practice everyday for 1 hour with listening and speaking and reading, and writing.
Thank you very much. = Sawadee kup.
Peaceout Peacefully Respectfully, Per. Mr. Black.

Sawubona!
Jom, I know a little Zulu, Swahili, and working on Afrikaans. I agree Zulu is a difficult language to learn and I feel Swahili is right behind Zulu.
This is interesting being an exchange student and living in another country. What has your experience been like?

Re:Re:Thai Language & Zulu Language. Re:Introduction
Hallo Mr.Black.
I tend to agree with you that it takes continued time and engery to master any language. From my experience, learning a new language doesn't just mean communicating with someone from another culture, but has brought awareness as to social issues, global awareness, conservations, political issues, and so forth. I feel that I am more in-tune with the world around me and have met some wonderful people.
I wanted to learn African lanuages because I'm exposed to many people that barely speak English. I feel if other people are trying to learn my language, why note meet them in the middle, and learn their language.
