Bangkok Podcast 32: Hamish Chalmers

While our regular Thai language Jedi Rikker takes a well-deserved
break, we're joined today by Hamish Chalmers, another noted Thai
speaker, blogger, Tweeter and all-around nice guy.


As a teacher at a well-regarded international school, Hamish has
some unique insights into how students of languages (Thai or
otherwise) learn, what methodologies work best, and how teachers
can shape their lessons to suit each students' particular needs.
Hamish also tells us how he learned Thai through pure
stubbornness, how he hopes people use his website, and how much
he loves Japanese pears.


In addition, Tony and Greg talk about last night's Bangkok
Podcast Christmas party, and want to give a BIG thanks to Dani
and Martin for helping us with registration, as well as a
wonderful, awesome gift that they gave us that makes all this
podcasting rigmarole worth it.
