Good post, obviously our thought patterns and use of foreign language are influenced by our native language.

We could also say that English interferes with learning Thai, or other Asian Languages.

Thais in generally seem to do better at learning English than we do Thai (I have yet to met a Farang Thai-English Translator, although I am seem there are a few).
