The process of learning Lao.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Lao people are extremely encouraging. Even if you only know a few words, they will often tell you that you speak 'keng lai' (very well). This is part of the 'Nam Jai' culture. Historically, 'learning' (ຮຽນ) happened in temples. This gives the act of studying a slightly sacred or highly respected connotation in traditional society. While Isan people speak a language very similar to Lao, they use the Thai script. Learning 'Phasa Lao' specifically refers to the language and script used in the country of Laos. Young Lao people often mix English or Thai words into their speech, but 'ຮຽນພາສາລາວ' remains the standard way to describe formal study.
Focus on Tones
Lao is tonal. Even if you get the words right, the wrong tone can change the meaning. Practice the tones of 'ຮຽນ' and 'ລາວ' carefully.
Smile while saying it
Lao culture is the 'Land of Smiles'. Saying you are learning their language with a smile will get you much further than perfect grammar.
