We’re back, now it’s ‘Game Time.’ Today we will do a language game,
I would like to take this opportunity to teach Ambassador and Madame some Thai
language lessons. Since Ambassador has been here for almost a year since May
2022. Your Excellency may have already pick up some Thais words during your
time here. Here are the Thai Tongue Twisters that foreigners find hard to pronounce.

Finish on Thai language part, this time I would like to learn about Kazahk
language. Could you teach me some Tongue Twisters in Kazahk?
The letters are similar to Russians?

Population Kazakhstan: 70% Kazakh, 15% Russian, 3.2% Uzbek, 2% Ukrainian

The word The name “Kazakhstan” is significant The name Kazakh translates to
wanderer or independent. This speaks to the nation’s ancient history as nomads
and the deep-rooted spirit of independence in Kazakh culture. When directly
translated, Kazakhstan literally means Land of Wanderers.

Next up is the “10 Seconds” game. I’m going to read out a question about
Kazakhstan culture, and the person who hits the bell first need to answer the
question in 10 seconds. If you cannot answer the question correctly, the other
person then gets 10 seconds to answer it. Please wait until I finish reading the
question and I say “Go!” then you can hit the bell. We have our timer right there.
