Yes, "lovable face" is a more accurate meaning.

"Ror" is a Thai word meaning handsome. Lao people copy them by saying "lor".

Don't have to worry, soon everyone will be able to speak english anyways, thanks to this school that teaches students how to have a "Brigter" future in their life.

Perhaps you should join them for some English lessons.

"Brigter" isn't a word. It should be "brighter".

Admin, maybe he likes his future to be Brigter.
Every language changes. Do you think there was a word for internet before it was invented? What is the Laos word for it then? We can't help but be influenced, we are influenced by other cultures just like they are influenced by us Laos people. If you guys ever watch the cartoon they show on american tv called "king of the hill", there's a Laos family on that show which was based on a real Laos family.

http://kingofthehill.wikia.com/wiki/Kahn_Souphanousinphone

Kohng Koy Kahn Soupanousinphone (Born March 19,1961) Age 50 is an antagonistic neighbor on the animated series King of the Hill. He and his wife Minh and his daughter Connie live next door to the Hills. Kahn works in the Information Technology industry as a system analyst. He originates from Luang Prabang, Laos, from which he moved to Anaheim, California temporarily, but left due to "neighbor problems" as told by Minh. He attends the Nine-Rivers Country Club, and is known to suck-up to the owner of the Country Club. Kahn has a love-hate relationship with his Rainey Street neighbors, often insulting them, and other times showing kindness.

There's no Lao word for "internet", glad you mentioned it. The locals generally say "net" for internet and "com" for computer.

I don't watch cartoons.

YES! One of my favourite shows of all time.  Eventually the family resides in Arlen, Texas which is not far from  where I am currently at.
