TommoPhysicist Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) How did we get from discussing the pros and cons of a lady's English ability to talking about arranged marriages ... No thread ever stays on topic! PS My wife now speaks better English that Payak, only took her a year or two. (And she's almost finished high-school ....... next, Payap Uni in CM, if I have my way.)

NanLaew Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) ^^^ Because payak, who is 100% comfortable in his totally English speaking relationship, can't seem to get his head around the fact that others are managing exactly the same way. BTW, a friend of mine married a deaf-mute BG. He is WELL sorted! Edited December 3, 2012 by NanLaew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyBowskill Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Although my wife speaks pretty good English and I understand a fair bit of Thai i'm not sure its all that important. If I want a deep and meaningful conversation on something I have a fair few good friends around or this wonderful invention called skype. You don't go to micky D's when you want som tam do you, so you learn to get what you need from different places imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

payak Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 i think the touchy responses show that not many people have a partner who can speak, why else would the cages be rattled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can speak Thai and she can speak English, like any couple you learn each others language over a few years.

Can't comment on that because as I said my wife speaks pretty good english and my Thai is ok. We also get on very well and have a lovely kid, so to be honest I don't give a rats ar*e how others may struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiggy Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) I agree we have 8 of our female staff with excellent English skills. If some one was to suggest its because they are ex BG or must of had a Farang ptr, they will tear them a new bunghole. Being Southern Thai women mostly from Nakon Si or surat, and from Humble beginnings it would be a mistake they would make only once Edited December 3, 2012 by stiggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Anyway, why is it all about 'Girls With Poor English' anyway? If the OP wants the socially inadequate, sartorially inelegant, folically challenged and more rotund members who have ex BG-s for partners to 'fess up as much, what about the girls with poor German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, etc, etc.? Why limit the hate to the English speakers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macksview Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 if a young lady has poor english,german,danish,french etc etc,but knows all the words for more carnal interactions in those and many other languages,i would hazard a guess to say,she may have worked in the farang physical entertainment industry. perhaps sign language is the way to go,almost standard worldwide. i am sometimes interested in how couples who speak mainly in pidgin thai/english do communicate,i have heard mixed couples talking in pidgin english,when it is neithers first language.

OK, that's you and the OP interested. Anyone else? Those that chose to sit in restaurants and ponder on other couples staring at walls with an obvious inability to communicate. Is this because you have nothing to talk about with your own partner? Maybe you are dining alone? I reckon it's the piss poor restaurant service myself.

thenervoussurgeon Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) My wife spoke english ,as did her sister and her two brothers none are bg"s her four nephews and nieces that live in bkk speak english,so does the little girl in our street and the two little boys ,i dont think they are bgs(to busy in school) many of the Thais in our village speak passable english as well ,you would be suprised how many educated Thais do ,its a way to get a good career , you dont have to be a bar girl to speak english(but i am sure it helps) personally before i married i prefered the ones that didnt as it wasnt the conversation i was looking for Edited December 3, 2012 by thenervoussurgeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilgore Trout Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Heres a novel idea from way out left field, if unhappy with the level of English spoken by a partner in Thailand how about learning Thai? Told you it was a crazy idea. I have seen many girls, even those with poor english refuse outright to speak or teach thai to their western partners Pathetic really Sent from my GT-S5660 using Thaivisa Connect App 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
