I've learned English primarily by playing video games. Tried the same with Japanese. Didn't work.
Thread: Which languages do you understand?
Life expectations not met I guess? Swedish bride and Thai whore I assume.

Not quite. I was shagging an Asian American girl when I was in Thailand and I worked for a Swedish company for a while, no hookers sorry. I've never been a fan of paying for clunge.
I lived in Thailand for close to a year when I was working overseas. I still remember a couple dozen phrases or so. Not enough to say I understand it though.
Thai is actually a pretty funny language for shit talking. "khun bah" means you're crazy, "khun men" means you stink, "mao mak" means really drunk. Stringing little phrases like that together sounded funny and was a good way to get a laugh out of the locals. "khun mao mak, jai yen yen, khun bah" you're really drunk, calm down, you're crazy. "khun men, app na" you stink, take a shower.
I still miss that place from time to time. Great food and going for hikes in the mountains to check out those Buddhist temples was incredible. Oh, and ladyboys.
Yeah the food was amazing. Tbh with the language what killed me was the fucking tones. Maa in 5 tones includes the words for mother, dog and horse if I recall. Lots of scope to get it wrong. Suffice to say I never got the tones right and the locals used to rip the piss out of me for it endlessly. Also, the kids I taught were little shits. I remember one time in class the kids kept saying kee ted.. eventually I asked what it meant, they said it meant finished, whatever you've done is finished. Ok, so I used it out and about. Turned out it meant poo coming. Little bastards.
