Ali Drummond, the British skater who helped secure permission to build Yangon’s first all-around skatepark, is a man of many talents.
First, he can skate. Secondly, he has powers of persuasion: he got the Yangon City Development Committee to agree to a skatepark for crying out loud!
But in an interview with local media this week, Drummond, who works with global non-profit Make Life Skate Life, revealed another talent: speaking Burmese.
In a popular video on Kamaryut Media, Drummond fields questions about the project. The video has been viewed more than 100,000 times and continues to be shared widely.
Check it out.
And how good is his Burmese? Well, this comment on the Facebook thread gives us some indication.
