I still have that CD, and if I had time with nothing better to do, I would probably learn how to speak Thai out of curiosity, and probably to score the freebies with the uni girls.

For the record, everytime I speak Thai to one of the locals, they tell me I speak perfectly. I know it's not true as I really speak only a few words, but I see this as a social thing for them to be polite. Fine with me, but English will be the only fluent language I will speak most of the time in Monkey land, and I don't need to feel guilty about it. Not my country and not my residence and I don't live in some little village out of nowhere.
