HELP: My Thai kids suck at Thai..
youreavinalaff replied to MikeDK's topic in Primary & Secondary Education
We mixed it up. Sometimes speaking Thai sometimes English. When I first met my, now, wife she didn't speak English. My Thai was OK but not great. We learnt each other's language from each other and continued learning when our daughter was born by using both languages at home. I learnt to read and write Thai at the same time as my daughter, with kids books. We lived very close to my wife's family. If they were present we always spoke Thai. I think it would have been, still is when we are there, impolite to speak in English within their earshot. -

I find it surprising and really quite sad that parents of mixed race kids allow one of the parental languages to be lacking. Our daughter grew up quadlingual. I spoke to her only in English, my wife spoke only Thai. Grandparents spoke in Khmer and many friends of hers spoke Isaan Laos. She attended Tha government school, non EP. She is now working in a very good job in UK and studying further education. She is fluent in all 4 languages she was brought up with. -
The son of a teacher and travelling salesman. Cut his teeth as a journalist at a local paper. Made his fortune turning Top Gear round from a boring show offering MPG comparisons to a fast paced TV program appealing to many people. Hardly entitled.

UK tips into recession in huge blow to Rishi Sunak

Anyone with any common sense, including lenders, know it's imperative to look at how borrowing would look with a, circa, 3% increase in interest rates. Anyone who maxed out their limits when rates were 2%, thinking they would stay at 2%, was foolish. It is that simple. May, possible election, won't change a thing. Labour will not be able to change anything anytime soon. -

Those who overstretched themselves only have themselves to blame. If they change the way the are/were going to vote because of being overstretched, they are being narrow minded. -
I'll take that bet. How about 1 000 000 baht? Tell me where we can meet for me to collect the money. Thanks.
