Months, Days and Colours
First, many apologies for a long time with no new material on this website. Due to other commitments along with internet access problems I have been unable to work on this site.
Hopefully now that I once more have internet at my office and am now able to reserve time for this project, the site will now grow and improve once more.
And heres a small starter. Recently we have been teaching Months , Days and Colours to the children at Stratton House Childrens Home, Chiang Mai.
Please use this links to see the children in action and practise along with them. Very soon I will add a video link where you will see me speaking the same Months , Days and Colours as the children so that you can confirm correct pronunciation.
Jor, 12 years old leads the class.
May, 11years old, leads the class.
Tai, 12 years old, leads the class.
