| Well... I'm still sick but I'm in pretty good mood today. Playing music,drawing picture, write something as usual. Maybe it's the fisrt time that I eventually be able to walk on the same speed. Since I always walk fast,but because of the operation even turtle might run in front of me.lol Few days ago,for no reason I suddenly think of one of my dream that I had for a long time. A dream to be able to speak 7languages before I reach the age of 30. I'm 24 now but still speak only 2languages. Thai is my mother language, the most difficult and most complicate language that I could ever know. But beautiful somehow, Thai is a complicate language because we mixed every language that exist in the world together. Back to about 700yrs ago, language came with the religions, came with the people that moved to live in the space of gold hammer (Look at the map... Thailand look like hammer!) Formal language for Thai is the language the people speak in the center of Thailand. Thai people speak differently in every area, north, north-east and south. They have their own folk language,you probably think the difference point might be only accent. Nope... they have difference vocabulary too. Imagine of someone who spend entire life in the north, will never understand what people in the south talking about. North and north-east is close, the language might familiar but not the same. Not only the languge that difference also the culture, tradition, art, everything. No doubt that why most of Thai people are pretty open minded for all the culture that came from oversea, it is because the country is already variety itself. For me, all of them are beautiful, I can understand all the languages of every part of Thailand. I can speak the language that we use for write, northern languge and expert in gay slang...hahaha. I began to studied english since I was about 9yrs old. Quite late, cause now the children learn english since they become 3yrs old. I actually really speak english when I was in university, about 19yrs old. I recommened that the best source for learning to speak english is movie. HBO, Cinemax, Star Movies or even Hallmark are very good teacher of mine. Other 5 languages that I wanna learn are French, Japanese, Spainese, Chinese-mandarin and Italain. I have another 6yrs for my goal to be able to speak all that. Not long at all... hmm... Maybe too much... why do I have to speak that much languages? Well... I don't have to, I just want to. Since language is the best tool to communicate with other human being. I want to be able to understand everything that people say... because it is what they think. If I know what they think, then I will know what they want. After I know what they want, then I will know how to make them happy. Beside,I want to travel around the world and see things. I want to be be able to read the comedy of Moliere and laugh with understanding all his joke. I want to appreciate Kabuki also Beijing Opera. I wanna go spain and watch them dance in original way. I wanna go to Rome, Frorence and Milan to see all the great things that human could create. Hmm... maybe I want too much, what a demanding person I am. I bought a book for study japanese yesterday. Today I remember one word "Hajimemashite = Nice to meet you" Hajimemashite to whoever who reading this... |
