12DrinkMore Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 And how many speak like Tarzan? "I, Tarzan, me go home, you, Jane, your sister you go buy beer more" I HATE hearing this, especially from native English speakers. I have even had the idiots, no insult intended to TV memebers, even turn around and speak Tarzan English to me. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE stop speaking like an uneducated farm girl and use decent English. Maybe, just maybe, it might raise the general standard of spoken English too.

grtaylor Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I don't have a wife, or girlfriend, or partner, or boyfriend . . . . so what do I answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12DrinkMore Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Why is english so important, i am english but i am in thailand people should learn to speak thai. I am not suggesting that English is the all important language, but if it going to be spoken by a native English speaker, then at least it should be spoken correctly. I only speak Thai to my GF, which at the beginning she liked, as we could communicate, and then she hated, because she couldn't understand when I spoke to my mates, and now she reluctantly accepts. She thinks that it is much more important for her (or Thais) to speak English than for foreigners to speak Thai. I don't agree, when in Rome etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is alot of fibbers on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
