After 12 years coming and going to Thailand the only real regret I have is my low standard of Thai.
I excell in certain small areas; in the beer bars and ggbars I have a full vocabulary for some reason but when I'm in the real world I keep asking the laundry lady how much it is to wash a bag of 'Tigers' instead of 'Shirts' etc.
I blame MYSELF mainly but I also blame the SCHOOLS.
I've tried 2 schools (40 hrs each) and I've had a preliminary session with a third.
In each case it was all about the money and very little about facilitating learning the language.
We have a few accomplished Thai Language speakers here.
I would be grateful if they could share an account of their learning journey.
