i Love Thai

I'm starting to get fonder and fonder of the Thai language~ The tones and everything. The way the natives speak. The language sounds so gentle to me. However, it wasn't the case when i first listened to it.lol. Anyway, i've discovered the goodness of the language and i'm just totally into it.
I guess my brain is accustomed to tonal languages like Chinese or Cantonese and now Thai. I always felt weird speaking English because i seem to be using to many tones. Well so i guess i could probably..maybe..possibly..speak better Thai than English?haha. i mean in terms of native like pronounciation and intonation. Definitely not the vocabulary or grammer( for now).lol.

电影的意义

如果有一天我决定将我一生的积蓄投资在一部电影上,我会希望拍一部能够真正带给人们快乐与希望的电影。就算不是人人都会认同的故事,我也希望将我要说的故事说给他们听。
也许电影里的情节和结局都太近乎理想,现实生活中又怎会有如此完美的人物与故事呢?所以。。都说了是电影嘛。
票房或许对我来说根本不重要。如果那是一部能让你重复看了一遍又一遍的电影。

Automatic Language Growth-ALG Method

I didn't learn Japanese using the ALG method because i just knew about this only when i started learning Thai. Basically it's to get many many hours of comprehensible input in the target language and do not attempt to speak or analyze the language at all. It will all come together naturally after those hours. I'm trying this method out with Thai by watching alot of videos in Thai on Youtube. I seriously do not know how it will turn out at the end but i'm accumulating my hours. I guess what gives me confidence in the method was my previous experience in learning Cantonese. I didn't understand anything at all when i watched my first HongKong drama. I didn't even bother understanding but one day i just did. But then again, that was yearrrrrs ago. So i'm a little comprehensive about the method because i'm older now.haha. Anyway, i'm a lazy freak when it comes to studying. I don't like reading textbooks. So yes i'll be using this method.
