Dear Laotian expatriates,

I moved to Km20 of Pakse a week already and I met some difficults for communicating (example go to vendor markets, shopping or looking anything) because almost people speak Lao not English. Who can help me learn Lao or exchange language to me? I can teach English and Vietnamese while I can learn Lao?

Hello hongminh1905.

The Community section (Language Exchange) in the Laos classifieds could help. You can post an advert there. ;)

Thank you,

Hi Ba0gia,

Thanks for your compliment. But from firstday of March to now, I only learned little. It is not easy for me to learn writing Laotian.

I wonder what does the mean of "Ba0gia"? - Ba-0(numerous 0 not character O)-gia?

Nice weekend to you!

you're so interesting.
I think it's hard to learn how to write by Laotian, So we should try only to communicate with the natives by voice. That's enough.
  My nick name just only showed my name's Ba?o, and not very young (gia\ ).
i wonder what do you do in Lao ?
I plan to travel to Lao somedays in near future for my business.
That's why i'm here in this forum ( follow some links on internet ).
Nice to meet you.

Good afternoon, Bao!

When you will visit in Laos for your business? If you go to Pakse, please call me. (moderated; pls use your pm)

I am looking for a job here but it is not easy to find when I can not speak Laos. There are many NGOs here but they require Lao Speaker.

Hope to see you soon in Pakse!

Good evening Deer,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for late reply because it is heavy rain in Bachieng, no ADSL internet and slow 3G connection.

I am living in Houyhee village, Bachieng district, Champasak province now and I don't have chance to live in Vientiane because my husband is working here.

If I go to Vientiane, I will puzz you.

About Laotian learning via internet, how I can teach you? I am ready to learn from you and can help you improve English.

At the moment, by coffee harvest season is coming so I moved to Paksong for living. And luckily, today, a woman called to me. She is very friend and warm and she said she can exchange language. She is good at French and she is Lao woman. So I can learn from her. Hope that my laotian language will be improved in next month.

Dear Khamphai,

Thanks for your nice post. Exactly I am living in Paksong center, KM50, very close with Daoheuang Weight & Buying Station. Could you please exchange language with me at Paksong center? I am available for night time and full Sunday.

(I could not go to Pakse for studying because I finished work too late, if come to Pakse then come back Paksong at night time, I could not drive).
