not Thai language teachers. Why would I want to learn Thai from.a Thai that's not a Thai language teacher? And tbh, the first thing you learn when you are doing a course on teaching a foreign language , is that you don't translate. That inhibits effective learning. You use other methods. That's why you need qualified teachers, not just any numbskull off the street. š
Just like no-one should learn English from A NES who isn't an English teacher, meaning qualified.
You don't get your car fixed by anyone who is.oly owns a car. Dhuh....
Except the people in Malaysia are really awful. Thais have their moments but Malaysians are infinitely worse. I don't like travelling to Malaysia for this reason, even if the visa process is stupidly easy. Also brings a lot of foreign trash which also really spoils the vibe. I've seen people stab others in the eyes with knives in hostels and rape drunk foreigners etc. No thanks.
