Speak The Thai Language – Bangkok Would Be A Fun Trip
Singapore, Bangkok, Thailand, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Jakarta, Indonesia are all in the same part of the world. What a beautiful part of the world this is. A few years ago I taught business seminars in each of these countries. I stayed in beautiful 5 star hotels in each place. The people were very nice and since each place had been one of the English Colonies speaking to people was no problem. I taught each seminar in English and we were able to communicate and understand each other very well. Ever since then I have been tempted to get myself a Pimsleur Thai Course and learn the Thai language.
Recently I was reading an account on the internet of a person who had taken a 20 day trip on a bicycle. The trip started in Bangkok, went down (south) the Thailand peninsula through Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur the capital city and then on to the country of Singapore the largest ship container port in the world. He took pictures of this fabulous trip and made a journal telling about his time spent in the various places he visited.
Learn Thailand Language
So you want to learn a new language. How exciting! I am sure you will find that learning any new language, whether it be Thai, or French, or Italian, or Greek, opens up whole new worlds for you that were never available to you before you learned a language.
When you learn a second language, all of a sudden, you can go traveling in the country where that language is spoken, and you can converse with the natives! You can order food in restaurants in the native tongue and not get dirty looks for speaking English. You can barter with cab drivers for the best price, in their language, so that they will actually respect you! You can ask for directions if you are lost in some remote part of the country and no English speaking people are around. You can strike up random conversations with people in coffee shops. Yes, for traveling, learning a new language can give you all sorts of opportunities.
