It would be better to say I speak some Thai.

I've sone two stints at ULS each for one month. I also did six months with AUA.

Having been here almost five years it would be pretty dumb of me not to pick up some of the lingo. It used to drive me nuts figuring out why sometimes I would get taken to soi 31 and other times to soi 38 when I used the same intonation and pronunciation.... but listening to Thais it is clear they don't all pronounce the language the same anyway. Now I just tell them where I want to go and then sit back and see where we end up.
