Hello! Everyone, Sabaidee tooktookkhon! and Hallo! Jeder

My name is Thaithanawanh, you can call me (Thai) and I am 33 years old. I am a teacher of English. I teach students at Savannakhet University, Laos. I have taught students here since 2012, I also study for my master at the weekends. I am a student too, my majors are English and rural development.

I will be studying at Karlsruhe University of Education, Germany. I will be the exchange student there, I will stay there 5 months, it starts from 1st March, 2019 to 31st August, 2019,  I am supported by Mobility Program between Savannakhet University(SKU) and Karlsruhe University of Education and under scholarship of Erasmus Plus, I am very happy to be a part of this project which coordinates by professor Doctor Isabel Martin.

David Schrep is our tandem teacher in SKU. So I know all of them, they are very great relationship with our colleagues.

I have never been to Europe previously, Now I cannot wait to get to Germany to meet the Buddies, lecturers, new friends and new experience.

In my leisure time, I enjoy watching sports and news on TV. Going for walks, travelling around city, playing rattan ball, volley ball, football and Petanque. I also like cooking Lao food as fish Laab, beef Laab and Chicken Laab.

I will be a part of your community to learn as much as possible about the German culture and language. I very much excited to meet my PH buddy Miss Eloise. I am really sure this project will be an improving the experiences and it will also help me growing as lecturer for the national human resources in university and future.

See you soon!
