Signification
Learning a new language.
Contexte culturel
Lao people highly value education. Telling someone you are 'Rian Phasa' is seen as a sign of high character and diligence. Because Lao and Thai are mutually intelligible, many Lao people 'Rian Phasa Thai' simply by watching Thai television. In the highlands of Laos, many Hmong people are bilingual, 'Rian Phasa Lao' as their second or third language for trade. French influence remains in the legal and medical fields. Some elite Lao families still prioritize 'Rian Phasa Farang' (French).
