　　Of course this was insensitively put, but there more than a grain of truth
　　in what she said. As an English teacher and German learner I know this
　　all too well.

　　Firstly from a purely syntactic view:
　　Although English is a Germanic language, the word order is so
　　different that it is impossible to speak German if you carry on
　　thinking like an Englishman. In English the tense system is
　　almost impossible to learn if you don't think and feel it in English.

　　Secondly there is vocabulary:
　　I don't mean that the words are different, but that there
　　is no one-to-one mapping. For example in German, French, Italian
　　etc you need to learn to differentiate thoughts between know
　　(a thing) and know (an object).

　　Thirdly there is culture:
　　Documents are written in a different way. Self criticism
　　is frowned on here. If one is not to make inadvertent faux-pas
　　one has to learn to think/feel the culture. In the English speaking
　　world plagiarism is frowned on, but as we have read many times in
　　this group in the Orient agreeing with the expert is a sign of respect.

　　I don't speak any Thai, but I imagine the differences are much
　　more extreme than with German. I think one does need to attempt
　　to think like an Englishman/American when one speaks English just
　　as in any other language.
