Re: worth learning thai reading?

Dear Robert,
you are in Th. for so short, and the high words and royal words which are
often connected with Pali and which you find in the Co. you will not learn
in a class. I have a lot of trouble with royal words, translating
Perfections and Kom is helping me a lot.
It depends on you, but perhaps it is preferable to concentrate only on Pali?
