I disagree. I’ve studied five foreign languages and found Japanese the easiest. The others were western languages. I will agree that if one spoke other tonal languages, certainly learning Thai would be easier. That’s different than “culture” though. That’s a matter of having developed the ear and the tongue for it.
and if one is hard of hearing? Your comment is quite dismissive. I don’t like people complaining about other people’s languages, but ableist comments are not the proper response.
Have you met his wife? Why do you have any opinion of her? Why are you even dragging her into your absurd fight with him? Just curious...how old are you? You sound like a child.
and now, to drill down, where are your favorite areas of Bangkok? No, it’s not my post 🙂, but I’ve been to Thailand numerous times and I’m about to return. I’m looking for ideas.
