Thailand Language Class

Thailand Language Class was held by BSSC Culture Division to strengthen the bond between boarders and exchange students especially Thailand’s exchange students, it also helps them to learn about each other’s cultures.Language Class is an event by BSSC (BINUS Square Student Committee). By organizing this event BSSC can also help the exchange students to adapt with the Indonesian environment and help them to learn about our basic language so they can communicate well to the locals. Other than that,they can also meet with a lot of different people from Indonesia or Thailand and from other countries with different personalities as well.

There were 3 teachers in the Thailand Class, they are Andaman Khuephanit, Buntita Supthong and Nalat Pinyovorkun. This class consisted of 6 meetings and 1 day of hang-out together with the teachers and participants. The meetings weren’t only about studying and lecturing, but there were Thailand traditional games too which most of them were similar to Indonesia’s traditional games, they only differed by the name and rules. The fun part was when a person lost a game, the teacher gave that person a “present” such as dancing with Thailand songs, singing in front of the class, yet sometimes the teacher also danced for us and taught us Thailand’s traditional dances. They always showed their positive attitudes and had a friendly attitude towards participants. They even have a moment where they shared both teachers and students’ personal problems, made them close each other. In the final meeting, they had a hang-out activities like shopping and planned to do another activity outside the event. This class is both useful and memorable, because both teachers and students learn a lot from each other, they became friends and still keep  in touch even after the class ended. This year’s Thailand Language Class was great and desirable because last year it took 2 weeks for 15 people to apply while this year it only took 2 days to achieve the same feat. BSSC hoped that the next Thailand Language Class will get even better in term of class capacity and information availability. BSSC will announce the next Thailand Language Class soon! There will be more of other great experiences that words couldn’t explained, and most importantly all these excitements can only be achieved by the help of Thailand’s teachers for the best effort and kindness.
