I so wish we were more into other languages in the US. I think since so much of the business and politics of the world are in English, we kind of coast on it. I'd love to really KNOW another language. Whatever it might be. But when young, in general, at least where I grew up, the importance wasn't stressed. It's actaully a bit sad. So many people in other countries know two or more languages. I think @ocrdu knows English better than me. And I've met many folks that know 2 to 5 languages. Amazing.
I think I've asked you this before, but you do so well with English. Do you have to translate all of your English to Thai and back? Or do you do it in English and then 'fix' or 'tweak' it with a translator. Whatever you do, you do it well.
