4 Myths holding you back from communicating in Lao effectively

Struggling to communicate in Lao effectively? You’re not alone...

myths

Many people struggle to communicate in Lao because they have a hard time to come up with words and form proper sentences. Hence, they end up not having enough confidence to speak and join in conversations.

Don’t let these myth hold you back from starting your Lao journey!

1. 👥 My family learned Lao without classes, so I don't need them to be fluent either.

While it is possible to learn Lao naturally, everyone's learning journey is different. Having a teacher to guide you will help you learn more effectively and clarify any vocabulary that you may have heard but not fully understood.

2. 🚫 I feel like I need to speak perfectly, or else I shouldn't speak at all.

We all start from somewhere. It's okay to not speak it perfectly in the beginning. Speaking Lao for the first time may feel weird and out of place. But, this shouldn't hold you back from practicing to keep improving your speaking.

4. ✏️ You must learn how to read/write and speak at the same time.

To learn both of these skills at the same time, you will need to dedicate a significant amount of time which can feel overwhelming. As a result, many learners end up giving up.

If you are getting started, learning to speak is great to build a strong foundation.

4. ⏰ It's too late to start now. I don't think I can do it. It seems really hard.

Do you know what's actually hard?

Not being able to communicate with your loved ones. Not being able to join discussions in family events. Not knowing how to respond when elders ask you questions.
