Studying Thai

Carol is studying her Thai with "Faa" in the dining room of our host family. It is a little frustrating since it seems Faa is learning more English than we are learning Thai. Part of the problem is that we are so tired after a full day of classes. When we return, we have the best of intentions to study, but the constant battle with the mosquitoes and the relentless heat and humidity quickly diminish the chances of quality study time. Sometimes at night, we sit in front of the store and visit with relatives and neighbors (usually in the form of charades). The host mother and her daughter are on the left. We practice our Thai, but end up laughing or doing charades.
