The week has certainly been enlightening. I am going to continue with shadowing, and I now wish I'd started it sooner. Shadowing always came off interesting, but it was just one of those things that stuck at the back of my mind to do later. I'm sticking with an Airwalker though... so I seriously doubt that you will see me walking the streets of Bangkok shadowing... :-D Hi Amy, thanks! The week has certainly been enlightening.

Congratulations on getting through the first week, albeit with the added challenge of jet lag. I found the introduction to shadowing to be very interesting. I followed one of the links you gave and it led to a YouTube video, and then another one and others. With a Thai husband at home to shadow, I need to take advantage of that! I've been more inquiring lately of what he's saying to my son, but I need to speak more often. My listening is going fine, but the wiring in the brain is different for the output - the speaking - and i find it's far more difficult to say something. Anyway, I look forward to reading about your month long journey.

Finding that sweet spot is important...the right time of day and the right surroundings can make all the difference in the world and after time it all will become something that is second nature and something you look forward to. The first week is always hard with something like this but I think you'll find in a month or so that the routine will be much easier no matter if you are tired or have other things going on. I still don't have a routine set up but I plan to get my act together sometime this month and get to it. I think if I can couple my learning with my trusty sleeping dictionary at some point then I'll be way ahead of the game. .-= Talen hopes you will read…<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Thailandlandofsmilescom/~3/D4auzW0lq8w/" rel="nofollow">Random Photos From Nakhon Phanom</a> =-.
