Love Lao Language Course (Join-In)
- Half Day
Sabaidee or Hello! Lao, sometimes referred to as Laotian (ລາວ 'Lao' or ພາສາລາວ 'Lao language') is a tonal language of the Kra–Dai language family. It is the official language of Laos, and it is also spoken in northeast Thailand, where it is usually referred to as the Isan language. A language of the ethnic Lao people, Lao serves as a lingua franca in among all citizens of Laos.
Approximately 90 different languages are spoken within its borders, many of which are unrelated to Lao. Modern Lao (language) is heavily influenced by the Thai language. A vast number of technical terms as well as common usage are adopted directly from Thai, itself influenced as well by the Kra–Dai family.
This morning, be met with the Luang Prabang guide at the hotel lobby around 08:00 and head towards the Saffron Café along the Mekong, a sustainable enterprise which offers one of the best coffee and barista scenes in Luang Prabang.
Meet Mr Siphai, the teacher for today at the café and be introduced to the Lao language. Mr Siphai go through all the essential words and phrases that would be useful during the time in Laos. This fun and interactive experience is also a great way to learn about the language’s complexity in tones and wordings.
Having made a new friend, take home the notes and a Lao language textbook and continue learning throughout the stay in Laos and even back at home. Kop chai, thank you
