Yes, and I think it is still hard to live here without the Thai language knowledge because in the beginning I tried to learn some basic words like how to say “hello”, how to say “thank you” and so on but the thing is that the Thai language has “tones'', meaning that each word has to be said in a particular tone and I was struggling with this task so much that even the simplest  phrases were not really easy to pronounce for me. When I noticed that people were not understanding me in my everyday life like when going to shops, I started using gestures or google translate to communicate. However, I did not have a problem at university because my classmates speak English, so it was easy to talk to them.
