Thank you.

I'm very grateful to YT gods for recommending me your channel

I just ran across your page. Really enjoying it. The fact you speak both Thai and Burmese is fascinating as I live in Thailand and struggle with one new language at my age.

Thanks for the kind words! I lived in both for some time, but don't be fooled - I don't speak either very well!

I wish this wasn't published with 1 year and 3 months of delay 🥺

How would rate Burmese vs Thai in terms of difficulty?

It's hard to get your ear around Burmese at first - I couldn't make out distinct sounds for a long time, but eventually I got tuned in to it - where as Thai sounds I find to be crystal clear. However, reproducing those sounds in Thai is not easy for most speakers of Western Languages. Burmese isn't super easy, but I personally found the tones that Burmese uses easier to pronounce than the tones Thai uses at first. Both have reasonably straight forward and pleasing grammar (As opposed to the nightmare of Russian grammar!). But I'm no expert in any of these, they all have their fun parts to learn, and infuriating bits to get stuck on!

@@dontlookeast In your opinion, between the complex grammar of Russian and the tones in Thai/Burmese, which is easier to learn ?

@@RovexHD Honestly, the easiest languages to learn are those that you are most excited/motivated to learn. Which is why I struggled to learn basic French at school but powered through Russian as an adult!
