Really? - wow.- What is your first language?- it it tonal also?

  • I picked up French and German on my travels, quite easily.
    (forgotten in the mists of time, however)
    The quality of life in Thailand suits me - I keep coming back, no matter where I travel to. (traveling since I was 22 -more than 20 years now.)

My first language is Hindi and it isn't tonal. But for some reason, I really like the musical quality of the Thai language and so I am picking it up really fast.

That's really cool.

I think I must be tone deaf in,Asia, then. Changing time zones.... or something...

Hahaha!! Maybe. :)

the 'time zone' thing just reminded me of something..

I have an extremely good sense of direction/where I am. Instinctively
Uncannily so, in fact.

I have only been south of the equator 2 times, in all my years traveling.
And both times - I couldn't find my way to the corner shop and back!

I had ZERO sense of direction. It has only happened twice in my life, and both times when I went south of the equator. Weird uh?
Logically, the only reason I could think of is inner ear and all that liquid, swirly stuff, going around a different direction - water, plug hole - kind of thing.)

So I'm sticking to my premise of time zones - latitude affects directional ability, and longitude affects linguistic ability!

lolol

Hhaahaha!! That makes sense in a way. I have never experienced it myself. But I could see it being true.
