Day 60 Graduation Day

60.1 Final Remarks

Instructions This is not the END of your lessons in Myanmar language! This is the begin-
for Teacher ning. Ask students how they have planned to continue to learn MM. Write
their suggestions on the board and add new ones. Give encouragement on
how well they have done getting this far!

Improving We have now completed 3 months of language training. You can read, write
and speak Myanmar!
But how can you remember everything? How can you continue to learn? The
following is some good advice on how to do just that:
How to improve your vocabulary, pronunciation and understanding:
· SPEAK! This is the most important point. Even if it doesn’t
come out just right, say it! Don’t be shy and hold back. The
more you try, the faster you will learn. This is the key to learn-
ing a new language
· Continue to keep a personal ‘dictionary’. Write down any new
words or phrases you come across. Practice them whenever
you can
· Go back and review the material for this class regularly
· Continue to listen to the recorded conversations. Try to imitate
the correct pronunciation as you listen
· Buy a good dictionary and use it
How to improve your reading:
· Make it a habit to read something in Myanmar every day
· Read the daily text out loud to each other every morning
· Read signs on shops and buildings when you are outside
How to learn at the meeting:
· Try to sing the songs in Myanmar at the meetings
· Take notes during the public talk. Don’t do other reading, be
attentive!
· Prepare and give answers as often as possible

60.2 Listening Exercise # 12
Conversation Each day this week we have been listening to this recording. Finally we have
learned all the words in the conversation. Now when listening, follow along
reading the English version:
Person A
Hello brother, pleased to meet you.
Brother, it seems like I have never seen you
before. What congregation are you from?
For a long time?
Only three months! But you are capapable to
speak the Myanmar way!
That’s why! I think ‘you have improved very
much!’
Jehovah is blessing you, I can see brother.
Do you give the announcements?
Be patient. Don’t give up! Gradually you
will become improve. Can you preach the
good news from house to house?
Don’t worry. There are many interested
people.
This world is in Satan’s hand isnt it?
We must trust Jehovah and wait. Until
Armageddon comes we have much work!
Through our preaching, people will have a
chance. For them to accept, we hope.
I am very happy that you came to Myanmar
to help us with this important work!
Myanmar Language Training
Person B
I am pleased too. I will greet, alright?
I attend Kamayut congregation.
Only a moment! Finished 3 months.
Thank-you for encouraging me! In order to
speak well I study every day!
I also go out in the Ministry. When I go on
Bible studies I learn very much. But most
important is that Jehovah is helping me! I
pray for holy spirit every day.
If I have an talk assignment at the meeting, I
speak in English, also a little Myanmar.
I give sometimes. I feel bad. Why? Because I
want to say a lot but I can only say a little.
Because I am Japan nationality, I do not have
permission to preach from house to house
yet.
That is correct! It is no problem for me. I see
people on the street, at the market. There are
many people outside. There is no need to go
to the house.The people who want to listen
are many. They have no hope. That is why
they are interested in the future.
Yes, there are many problems but because
the true Christain congregation is under Jesus
hand, we have joy!
Jehovah is calling all people. But not all
people will accept.
We are busy but so pleased.
I am very happy too. I want to stay here for a
long time!
