Learning an abugida writing system like Thai sure is a big task when not having a plan to maintain it long term, but it's def rewarding. Hope ya enjoy!
It's definitely a bigger undertaking than I initially thought! At first, having done mostly Japanese recently, I just saw that Thai had something like an alphabet and was relieved. But I'd really underestimated how confusing it'd be to have very different phonetics and resultingly confusing symbols.
Still, I feel like if I'm going to a place, I should know at least a little of the language. And trying to learn the basics doesn't feel very effective if I don't know any of the building blocks.
