	A bit off topic, but noticed a trip to SE Asia. That's what I wanna do too someday as well. It's still a few years off I imagine. But in the future I would like to go to Thailand for a few months and learn the language, as well as travel a bit after. (maybe picking up Malay/Indonesian) But good luck with the German studies. My level of German is close to 0. (meaning in a conversation I can't get much beyond "Guten Tag") 1 person has voted this message useful

	Well I usually get "Auf wiedersehen" as well, but that is bound to be unsufficient :) Thank you for support thou. Oh yeah, SE Asia-the white sandy beaches, exotic metropolises, almost immaculate hill tribes, stunning nature, relatively cheap and safe..It has been my planned destination for long, so I finally decided to go and I am lookin forward to it quite a lot. As to the languages, I am a bit afraid that as many are tonal-Thai, Vietnamese-and have no cognates with our IE languages, their difficulty will be probably comparable with that of Chinese, i.e. extremely hard. But when one really falls in love with the country, then why not. On the other hand, Malay/ Indonesian is also a language I d love to learn-I already have some books and recordings and it seems, that the way they create words is somehow very predictable and it is supposed to be the easiest from the oriental languages. 1 person has voted this message useful
