Like I said, it's breaking my heart we can't meet up and compare our thai language abilities... However, I'm sure we'll both live.. Take care do good,
Don't believe a single complimentary thing these people say about your thai. You know they say that to any foreigner who can manage to spit out "sweaty crap"..
Here's something you might find of interest, or not...
"The WORST Thai I've ever heard a foreigner spit out here"
thai-language.com - Forums - The WORST Thai I've ever heard a foreigner spit out here
It is exactly this kinda thai that I hear day after day from foreigners which makes me sad (that I'm a foreign speaker of thai)...

No offence but I could do the same last year after I bought Benjawan's Thai for beginners (bought it somewhere in BKK), took me 1 week. Now I try to read signs along the road, easy stuff like khao man gai is doable for me.
Being able to "read" these words helps me to pronounce them, of course someone will correct me but usually I'm pretty close to the correct pronunciation. I have a lot of difficulties with the 5 tones, after 1 year I can finally hear the difference between them but it seems impossible to pronounce them, it's very discouraging to me.
I have yet to find a good way (for me) to learn Thai.
1000 Baht is chickenfeed if the dictionary is seriously good. My concern is that I need something that I can carry with me which is a hard copy, as well as needing an electronic copy.
How can I get both? I do not know, and I do not have Iphone, Mac Android. I do have a Windows PC, and then a Linux PC of course.
I would like to use this electronic version before I buy it to see if it works.
ALSO, THIS ELECTRONIC VERSION DOES N O T have 150,000 entries, or it would be less than chickenfeed if it did. It has 42,000 entries, and it does NOT have empathy if it is the same as the hardcopy. I would like to get a list of the entries because I don't like to buy something and then be unpleasantly surprised.
