interesting that.

as my thai has improved to a really pretty good level, i have found myself less willing to broadcast it.

these days I speak English to Thais that can, even if their English is worse than my Thai.

for some reason it annoys me to hear bad Thai spoken very loudly, especially to people who speak good enough English.
