Should I be surprised at how good Mae's English is? Bearing in mind that she left school at 15 and has only worked in her family home and as a waitress. Her cousin, who is 21, hardly speaks any English.
Having spent the last 19 years with Thai women, it amazes me when Mae comes up with things like:
"I don't like her attitiude." "Just remember, I'm always here if you need me." "I will be going to church this coming Sunday." "In my family house there are no appliances."
Mae seems to be very bright, and maybe she just watches a lot of American TV?
