Learning Burmese Online
Learning Burmese is challenging, not only because the language is difficult, but also because it can be hard to find a Burmese Language Instructor. While many people are interested in learning Burmese, a lot of those people plan to travel to or live outside of Yangon or Mandalay and they therefore can’t access in-person language schools in order to master the language. The best option for travelers or people living outside of the two major cities in Myanmar is to find a Myanmar language instructor online. But very few Myanmar citizens have a computer and even fewer have access to the Internet except unreliable services through their mobile phones. But high-speed Internet availability is changing. For example, in Bagan, Myanmar high-speed Internet is now available, but in order for the most talented Myanmar language instructors to work with students, they have to have access to these higher Internet speeds. For now, as a result of limited Internet availability to residents of Myanmar, it can be challenging to find a Myanmar language instructor online. There are a number of websites that offer Burmese language video instruction. Instruction videos can be extremely helpful because students can play them over and over again in order to learn the sounds and the rhythm of certain phrases. But without a live instructor in Burmese, it would be impossible for most westerners to master the language and actually use it with native Myanmar speakers. Students need someone to listen to what they’re saying and then correct them on minor problems so that students can form the words properly and say the words the way that locals would say them. While it can be beneficial to use videos from a web site that offers a full Burmese course online, it is always recommended that students find a good Myanmar language instructor to practice with. By practicing face-to-face online with a live Burmese teacher, you can actually achieve some level of mastery that will be practical to you in Myanmar with native speakers.
