My best advice is to formally learn to speak Thai at a language school. Culture-wise, good to know also. I don’t live in Thailand, but here in Singapore, I totally immersed myself with Thai friends, listen to Thai music, learnt sentence structure and spoke the language bravely. Now I speak like a local, and I can also speak Isan.

It's great to see you all having a good day together. I would think the language would be the most difficult thing to cope with, but when the girls get to school age I think you'll learn as they do. Keep speaking to them in English and they'll pick up both languages quickly. My Thai friend in Burriram learnt her English as her kids were being taught and after the first year they were translating for each other. The funny thing is her kids are now adults and can still understand Thai but can hardly speak it, Cheers for many more happy days 🥰

Hi Ricky, The girls are adorable and are getting so big already. I've been here a year and probably only know about 30 Thai words. I definitely can't string a sentence together. It's a very difficult language to learn for Westerners . As time goes on, you will pick it up from your kids.

I'm probably around the 300 mark

I've lived here for a couple of years now, though been visiting for over 20. I've made an effort with the language but am still far from fluent - can get by in shops, ordering food in restaurants and having basic conversations with the Thai in-laws but there is still so much I don't know. My recent approach has been to watch Thai shows/films on Netflix with English subtitles turned on - pretty useful way to not just improve vocab but also pick up a few whole sentences Failing that there is always the language school option!

Yeah maybe a traditional class that I have a schedule to attend will be the way. A proper course perhaps

Ricky, So glad to see Lillie and Daisy happy and growing . I must agree that the Thai language is difficult. It is one of the top 15 hardest language to learn. However, "pen pai dai" it is possible. I attended classes 4 hours a day 5 times a week and completed 6 years of primary school Thai in 6 months to be able to speak , write and read Thai. Then another 2 months to prepare for the National primary 6 exams! Thank God I passed !! No matter which part of Thailand you are in I think all Thais understand national Thai. Best wishes to you in your learning endeavour.

Here's one of those dilemmas. Should I have taken my son home because I am from England and thus depriving him of his culture, heritage and family. You could argue that Ricky has friends and family back home who will support him. The reality is different though. Those friends and family have lifes to live and their own stresses to deal with. So, the vast majority of time he will be on his own. Here he has his Thai family offering that support and in time he will be able to take full time care of them. This is not unusual here and family support is almost a given when children are babies. I don't regret one minute the choice I made to stay here with my son. This afterall is where he was born, this is his country and culture. Like the girls, he can decide when he is older where he lays his hat and call home. The girls will decide, it is not our gift to decide the outcomes, it is our gift as parents to do our level best for children.

This time around, the hardest part about being in Thailand has been the heat. The heat itself is manageable, but it’s the rashes on various parts of the body that are challenging. I think the body needs to get used to sweating more. Continual bites from ants or mosquitoes are another issue. They are very stealthy here, as I rarely actually see them. Applying Tiger Balm over the body at night has been a good solution. Some people say the weather in Thailand is wonderful, but they retreat to an air-conditioned room. When it comes to learning Thai, I believe it’s important to know the Thai script as it is phonetically accurate. Don’t rely on the way it’s transliterated in English. For example, if a word ends in “lor ling”, they spell it ending with an “L”, but that’s not how it’s pronounced. Having a girlfriend who speaks English isn’t going to help either

@rickyisaan

Ай бұрын

You're spot on about the script. Yes the heat definitely takes some getting used to make but soon all will feel normal in that sense, even all the bug bites mate 😆

Learning a language is a bit like learning to play guitar. You just keep chipping away slowly, adding more and more. Don't look at the end goal and being 'fluent' just keep improving. Even Thai people continue getting better at their language as do English speakers. I've been learning Chinese for over 20 years. After several years, you realise that is a large complex task that you will never complete. It's more about improving your communication skills.

You will need to have Thai lessons and speak properly, not from picking up as you go along as some people are speaking bad Thai language! It’s the same issue for Thai people who live in the UK if they are uneducated and not willing to have lessons as they find it hard to them so they end up speaking Thinglish and it’s hard to communicate to the others apart from their partners. I would encourage you to have some lessons as beginners. Best wishes
