New Language
February 8, 2008
The Thai language is a lot more complicated than english… they have five different tones!!! If you say a word in a tone that you didn’t want to say it in you’re saying something totally different. I can count from 1 to 99 and name some fruits and flavors but other then that I have no clue what I’m supposed to be saying. The driving is a lot different to, almost everyone rides a motorcycle and when they do you better watch out because they don’t listen to most of the traffic rules and if you hit them you have to pay money for the medical bill and the motorcycle, sometimes the funeral. The drivers seat in the cars here is on the right instead of the right so that makes it just as hard.
Way to go! You will be a great Thai speaker by next year. I’m impressed with what you have already learned in a difficult language. Love, Nanny
