Oh Adam, I wish I could speak as well as you. But I know you trained every day for many years. I am training every day too (for 3 months). I wonder if people could point me to videos where Adam explains why he first started learning Thai in the beginning. I'm really curious about that.
I am Thai, learning English by talking and not afraid to talk, not shy, keep on talking, and adjust my toung, imitage their voice since I was 10 years old, now I am 62 and still learning new words and I lived in the US for 3 years, traveling to U. S. 10 times for working. You just keep on practicing, my recommendation for learning Thai, and mingle with Thais.
