“Ok let’s start with S̄wạs̄dī.” He said slowly. You tried to repeat what he said but your tongue doesn’t move the way his does. After you finally got it right he moved on.

“Awesome! That means hello. Now try: khuṇ pĕn xỳāngrị?” You tried to repeat what he said but your r’s didn’t roll the way they needed to. Bam Bam kept showing you how to do it properly and you continued to struggle with making your tongue comply with the Thai language. You noticed that while you were working on the r’s that Bam Bam couldn’t stop staring at your lips and tongue. It was embarrassing, but kind of cute.
