I hope so! I'm an Aussie (we basically speak english in Aus) in Thailand who's trying to get better at Thai. I run into this comic a few times a week, I hope they don't think I'm a jerk for trying to practice my Thai!
also now to remember, if you speak my language broken enough, I might just answer in english because of assumption that you wouldnt understand fluent rural dialect
This is me, but with French people.
ReplyDeleteRule of thumb: the one in his own country is the jerk.
