Hey everybody, I am currently applying for an exchange program in a thai University.

In order to complete my application form, I had to write a brief statement explaining my motivation.

I would really appreciate if you could read what I wrote and help me correct the mistakes I made.

I really appreciate your help, Thank you!

My name is Tim XXX and I am currently a student of Thai and Chinese Studies and International Relations at the Insitut National des Langues Civilisations Orientales (INaLCO) in Paris.

Having already been given the opportunity to participate in an one-year exchange program to Bangkok in 2010, my objective when enrolling at INaLCO was to further deepen my prior knowledge of the thai culture and language.

My studies helped me acquire a better understanding of the thai society and to learn more about its historic and civilisationnel foundations.

The intensive language classes allowed me to improve my command of the thai langage so that I am now capable of reading literary texts and news articles as well as understanding radio programs on a diversity of topics in thai.

Nevertheless, I still find it difficult to read scientific texts written in thai, not only because of the language barrier but also because I sometimes struggle to grasp the thai concepts and scientific references.

As I would like to pursue my studies in the field of international relations between South-East Asia and Europe, I think that it is indispensable for me to have an in-depth understanding of the thai language and the local cultural codes in order to be able to conduct meaningful research in social sciences related to South-East Asia.

Studying at Thammasat University would be a great opportunity to achieve my goal of developing my langage skills and of familiarizing with the academic environment and could thus lay a solid groundwork for a further engagement in studies of region.
