This often includes the time when Thai people have to communicate with foreigners in English and have no idea what the other meant.

As English today plays important roles in tourism and the Thai economy as a whole, still, Thai people struggle to communicate effectively. Here are some areas suggested why it is difficult for Thai learners to improve their speaking skills. This post...  [Read more]
