Hi, I am going to Thailand for 10 months this year. I am super excited but little anxious since I don't speak the language. But I want to learn it ofcourse! Is there any tips how to learn a language with completely different aplhabeth and tones? The other thing is I am only one going to Thailand from my country this year. (Atleas through Afs) So is there anyone whose destination is same as mine? Also if you have experiences to share from your exchange in Thailand I would be super happy to read them! So please share them! any little details are welcommed! Ps. How long did it take you to find a host family?
