But would this work with Thai English? Seems to me they add one first letter and drop the last. However, from my experience of wannabe English teachers there, I think you are definitely in with a chance.

Sorry to offend your notion of PC, sir, but this is Thai Visa and my limited intelligence is unlikely to offend anyone.

I found your post fascinating as I had never realized how our amazing our minds are at processing words . Although it is easy for us to read these sentences, my guess is that my Thai wife will not be able to read it even though she is fluent in reading, writing, and speaking English. I will have her give it a try when she gets home later today. Perhaps she will surprise me but I would guess that her mind may process it differently since it is not in her native tongue.

I'd imagine non-native English speakers would have a lot more trouble reading it!

I can read at last!!! or was it the Chang Beer?

[Crossy]

Obviously I've seen this before, but it always amazes me that I can read it easily

Interestingly, when reading the OP I was totally thrown by the two 'deliberate' errors (additional spaces).

These :- "i prmoatnt" and "fris t"

I was sure wrong on this previous post of mine. My Thai wife read it so fast even I could not keep up with her. I guess her mind processes it exactly the same as me even though it is not her native language. I guess she only read it faster than me because she is the smarter one !

That's how I can read English subtitles so quickly.

That's how Thais can read Thai subtitles so quickly but I can never read them all, although some words I recognise by their make-up not by reading the whole word.

I just tried it with my Chinese interpreter - She was able to read it without any trouble also.

very intersting research results, and they seem very true. even my wife could read the text( with a little help)

This is precisely why I hate reading Thai so much!

Works fine for me. The only thing required is that you have a decent grasp of grammar and know the words used.

This is about words forming pictures in your mind. A skilled reader does not read individual letters but recognizes the text word by word.

Know knead too putt theis iyn thee teeechyur's forum.

I've done too much English teaching, proofreading and writing to get through that mess without the spelling police inside my brain coming to the four. I mean, to the for. To the fore?

Aside from having a learning disability (ADD), I get confused when their is Moor then won arror in the sentence.

[thai_narak]

wow! i can actually read that... very fast too without mistake.

[qwertz]

My point too but it does relate to speed reading, for those fluent in English.
