Minimum level of Thai knowledge and language for long term residents
I fortunately assigned here 50+ years ago, learned Thai fluently most of which by now is fading. I also after assigned here studied many other languages and had to re-learn my Thai when I retired here but like I said, it is fading. I think that 50 years ago speaking some Thai (not fluently) was necessary for one to get around as few people spoke adequate if any English. Now though Englsh is "taught" in most schools (poorly in my opinion) but adequate for many types of businesses, especially anything with foreigners so unless one is in a more remote area where few tourists roam, then I think that foreigners can easily survive for a long time here without speaking much Thai. I though do enjoy the occasional chat with a neighbor or someone I meet on a walk around the mooban or even in the shopping areas. I can still watch Thai news and understand what the news is about but I also realize that some of the vocabulary that I once knew well, has faded behind a lot of those other languages too. I also find myself occasionally filling in a word of the same meaning as the Thai word, but a Thai listening would query me as they wouldn't recognize that word but to my brain of course it wa all correct in meaning and I would laugh to myself just how dumb that must seem to the Thai listemer. With the current available Thai language at just about any level using computers or translators, one could easily learn or suvive with those translators, probably more easily than me. Best of luck to anyone wishing to study foreign languages - Americans are noted for being too lazy and willing to put forth much effort. Even the education system dropped a foreign language requirement around 1980 or so. -
