Introduction to Burmese
Myanmar is a country in Southeast Asia, bordered by Bangladesh and India. Burmese is Myanmar’s official language. The Burmese speaking population is close to 40 million people by 2020. As a Sino-Tibetan language, Burmese is largely monosyllabic and analytic, with a subject–object–verb word order, thus, very unique from most languages in the world. In this video, Aye Myat will share the difference in Burmese language structure and pronouciation from those of English. She will also introduce the culture of Myanmar and teach some unique phrases of Burmese cultural and social value.

Very interesting language. Unfortunately, I have never met a person from Myanmar and that makes if difficult to be motivated to learn the language.
Thanks everyone. I will be offering Burmese lessons again on 24 & 25th October.
Thank you for your presentation. I liked it a lot!
Very interesting presentation on culture especially on how every Burmese name starts with the alphabet which represents the day they were born.
