"Farlung" I was; the blood sucking nurse, told me to hold it down or it would bruise badly. She couldn't say it in English, so she chose Thai, and Chinese. When you speak to a Native English speaker in a foreign language... do you think Thai would be an option for you?
When Breee-t speaks to a nurse what language does he choose?
