he he he ... English is not my native language, nor Thai native language ... maybe it helps me a bit because it's often easier for me to understand foreign people than native english people. I guess it would be the same if you had to speak french. In english, I use a simple vocabulary, and with Thai people, i forget grammary, expressions, etc.
For example, when I talk to a Thai, I avoid sentences as "I would like to go" or "I have never been there" ... Say "I want go" or " I never go there" I call it "Thai-English" and I try to adapt my language to Thai grammar, it makes things easier.
