What's more important if you are living in Thailand , good English from her or good Thai from you?

When she doesn't have food in her mouth I can understand her pretty well.

Most of the time she is going thru food like a wood chipper.

@Jayroo; That instead of jumping to conclusions, perhaps you should read my post one more time. On second thought, read it twice.

My reply starts with w and ends with r.

Thai people have trouble with the following letters

R - they have a similar sound in Thai but pronounce it as an "L"

V/X - they dont have an equivalent in Thai

They are used to cutting the suffix off of words in Thai and carry that trait to English, many simply dont understand that can change the context.

As for my g/f, she does all of the above. She speaks in a very understandable manner, but it takes my family back home some time to get used to her pronunciation.

My gf struggles with the words towl and button for some reason

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

I told her to say

She sells

Sea shells

On a sea shore

Just for a laugh

many thai prefer pidgin but are off course capeable to say every sound their vocal coards can produce

My wife can pronounce the letter v.

I think you've made a generalisation

Naughty!

If you read my post it wasn't a generalisation.

I said "they can do it with practice but it takes time"

Some learn how to say it.

Nope!

...and I go for runch now!

Funny you should say that, my mrs says it the same, but she can say ''laugh'' for instance.
