Thomas, c'est un enseignant de birman au top. Hyper patient et compétent. Et en plus il maîtrise plein de langues, comme le mandarin et l'anglais. Il connaît le birman dans les moindres détails et il sait trop bien comment te plonger dans la culture birmane. Quelle que soit ta question, il a la réponse et il te débrouille les points les plus ardus avec des exemples simples et des ressources en ligne. Après chaque cours, il fournit notes, matériaux et enregistrements pour faciliter la révision. Si tu veux te lancer dans le birman, je te conseille à fond Thomas ! // 強烈推薦給想學習緬文的人!

Thanks to ဆရာ Thomas' classes, I am now able to hold a one-hour conversation in Burmese with people from Myanmar out in the 'real world'. I'm looking forward to using the Chinese textbooks for intermediate level and to making more progress over the next couple of months. ကျေးဇူးတင်ပါတယ်ဆရာ

Thomas provided a clear and patient explanation of Pinyin pronunciation and the sound system. He took time to ensure I understood each concept and corrected my pronunciation thoughtfully. Perfect for beginners wanting to build a solid foundation in Chinese pronunciation. Highly recommended.

Thomas is a patient and knowledgeable Burmese teacher who is also fluent in many other languages such as Chinese, English, Russian, and German. His knowledge of Burmese is very thorough and he can provide the cultural and historical context behind grammar and vocabulary. He answers every single question I ask and explains hard-to-understand concepts well, using a combination of materials and internet resources. He also takes notes for each lesson and provides the lesson materials in PDF formats so that I can review them offline. I highly recommend Thomas to anyone who is trying to learning to read and speak Burmese.
