Why haven't you learned Thai even after several years as an expat in Thailand?
Plenty of complacent pricks who like to gloat over their ability to speak and read Thai in this thread. Yes some of us are just to lazy. For some of us it is just really difficult. Dyslexia - this is an issue. My daughter and son in the UK were both diagnosed as Dyslexic in the UK - but only when they got to University. Mild cases are not so easy to recognise. There are different types - some find reading difficult, some writing. Also learning foreign languages. My son says he thinks i am as well. Dyslexia was not even recognised as a problem when i was young. No problem with reading, but writing.... took 3 attempts to get English 'O' level. Spelling and grammar were weak points, so i was a slow writer. in exams i would do 3 pages, most others did 5 or more. Still got to university, and got 2 degrees. Languages - at school, i got the worst French 'O' level mock result in the year, Was not allowed to sit the main exam. In my life, have tried to learn many languages, but always came unstuck even on the basics. I could learn a few words, but could never really converse. Better at reading, can partially understand about 7 languages as long as i know what the subject is about (mainly technical). Then finally my later life problem. I have lost the ability to hear high pitched sounds. I find tones like in Thai very hard. On the phone find it hard to understand people speaking even English until i can 'tune in'. I did try my first 2 years here to learn some Thai. But it was a struggle and rarely needed it. Now just keep to a few phrases like ordering petrol at the petrol station, asking for the toilet, numbers and names of things. I get by. Do i wish i could speak Thai well? Of course. But in life we learn some battles we will rarely win. -

Has your girlfriend got a joke or ever said anything funny ever?
Yeah, and as I have told, I am a Swede like 100 times, so you are just wasting your time once more. Go take care of you´re loud speaker neighbors in the rice field, you were talking about a year or two ago. -
