Bangkok Podcast 49: Is Learning Thai Hard?

We've done a fair number of shows so far about learning Thai, but
one of the most fundamental questions has yet to be discussed -
is learning Thai actually hard, or do we foreigners just make it
seem that way? 


We're joined once again by our Thai language Jedi Rikker Dockum
as he talks about the particulars of the Thai language, how the
human brain processes it, and some of the roadblocks that we
encounter (or make) as we attempt to learn it. He also tells us
how he keeps his Thai skills sharp, how age plays a role in
learning language, and the value of making mistakes.


We are also joined by the crew from BangkokFoodTours.com, who
will be leading our upcoming walking food tour. They tell us a
bit about their company, how it began, and what we can expect on
our outing.
