Score: 5 Teacher: Narisa Naropakorn By: Bill Dore August 5, 2010 Lead Acquired: August 5, 2010 Hours of Instructions: 11 |
She is easy to work with and extremely helpful. I met K Narisa many years ago when I was working in Bangkok where she was my teacher. Unfortunately for me then I was working up country every week Monday to Friday and could only be there on Saturdays. I learnt a fair amount until my company sent me out of Thailand to work elsewhere in the world. Since then until this year I have been in and out of Thailand and mostly living up country as I do now I am retired. I was looking for a Thai teacher locally and in the area that I live in my wife and I must have been to nearly 20 schools as far as 50km away to try to find someone but we could not. I have been a member of this website for a while and now I am retired I thought I would try through here. I found K Narisa once again and asked if she could teach me once again but this time as a distance learner via Skype. She said she can do this so we started. Firstly I am 66 and partly deaf in both ears which does not help matters and I often forget things too. We went back over what I knew and remembered which was a bit more than I thought. After that she decided that going back to basics was not worth the time so we talked in English. K Narisa would then put it in Thai speech and using Skype messenger and a program called Callburner we would use the hour of study twice a week. I would download the recording and the notes as a record to go back to to recall and learn from. It would be a description of what I had done on a day and what I thought I said and what I should have said. I found that is better than parroting from a book though the books give me a better understanding offline and I highly recommend anyone to learn this way. I would still be working with her but as I said I live up country and have no house telephone so I am reliant on a mobile phone, an EDGE connection and a vain hope that not many people are using the 1 cell site I am on. Many times however too many other people were using a mobile phone and squeezed my internet connection to the point where we could not hear each other. Working with K Narisa is always a pleasure and if anyone needs a Thai teacher face to face or through the internet and Skype I cannot recommend her highly enough. I only wish I had a better connection and I would still be there. Bill Dore A very happy and satisfied student of K Narisa
