Dear all,

 

I have lived in LOS 8 years and been to many places in Thailand, but mostly lived on Samui, where they often understand but do not speak good English.

 

I have lived with my Thai GF for 7 years who is from Isaan and speaks "Tinglish" :smile:

 

I also speak what I believe is some conversational Thai (but sometimes I am told is Isaan by Southern Thais).

 

One thing that frustrates me is that my GF always speaks in the present tense.....which can often lead to confusion and arguments.

 

So I have tried to teach her tenses in English and sometimes speak to her in full English 'But she not understand".

 

I have time on my hands and have decided to bite the bullet and learn Thai for English at a language school.

 

Have any of you tried this route and was it worth it?

 

Looking forward to some valuable and amusing replies.:smile:
