Very interesting interview. I especially appreciate the tips on learning without using all the gimmicky apps and AI. I too believe that nothing beats honest hard work.
@@IC34L My method was to do every activity and exercise in this textbook, and learn every vocabulary word. You will need someone to check your work, you can probably find a willing Uzbek person online. www.amazon.com/Uzbek-Elementary-Textbook-Nigora-Azimova/dp/1589017064
This is like a documentary of your journey from Bangkok to Betong...very interesting. Love it very much ❤️👍🏻 However, I am not sure if it’s true that to be Thai is to be Buddhism. Thailand gives people freedom for religion and believe. You can see Thai Muslim in other provinces in the south of Thailand, outside of the 3 most southern provinces, live with Bhuddist Thai in harmony.
What an amazing poetic rendition of your journey it was great to be along with you on it thank you so much for sharing it. Very well edited very well presented we lived along the journey with you.
If you are into hot spring’s culture I’ll be glad to introduce you Kazakh hot springs right here in Kazakhstan. As a rule I remember that after bathing in a hot spring one should dress walmer otherwise it will do harm.
@@GrahamDerry I’ve talked to a guy from Andijon and I noticed although the way he spoke is close to adabiy tili, but vowels were different, and also had vowel harmony.
@@TurkistanSeneti Wow! That’s so interesting. According to my knowledge, Uzbek does not have vowel harmony. I would love to hear that guy from Andijon speak! I too found that the vowel sounds varied greatly across Uzbekistan, especially the pronunciation of the o’ vowel, like in the word go’sht (meat). Also, in the Fergana valley there were different accents, even between two very close places. Margilon is right next to Fergana, but people from Margilon speak distinctly different from Fergana people.
@graham this is fascinating. Quick question: how do you interpret the fact that your speech contour lines do not fall between the same formants when compared to the native speaker?
I'm not sure what you mean. Can you send me a screenshot showing where my pitch contour lines don't fall between the same formants as the native speaker? You can email me grahamhderry@gmail.com
