So all you exchange students out there .. come back home and tell your parents they wasted their money.[/quote]

Well, that CAN be true. I know teachers that have been here 10 years and can hardly say hello. I've have never figured out how they can use that as a badge of honor, I think you have to try and not speak the language for that to happen. I was married to and was around Thais for more than 12 years before I moved here and didn't learn much at all. I've been here 3 years now and can almost speak the language, plus I'm learning to read and write . It depends on want you want to do.
