Thank you very much!
Do you still live there now?
Many years ago I was in Sukhumi.
So was I. We left Sukhumi in 1992 when the war started. We could go to St. Petersburg so this was what we did. As for "now"... I am in Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, etc), for many years, besides the pandemic when I got stuck in St. Petersburg. So, you can say, I came back to Bangkok a week ago (after a 5-month visit to Georgia).
What language do you speak in Thailand, Vietnam and so on?
I speak English. I also know some Thai words (words of politeness, names of dishes, numbers) and I use them when needed - quite often actually.
I don't speak English unfortunately...
98% of people here don't speak English as well. Some of them know basic words like "how much", numbers, etc.
А английский на уровне общения знают немногие, но интернет всегда поможет найти таких + хостелы и гестхаусы всегда полны теми, кто говорит по-английски.
Языки - это сложно. Я почти 3 года в Питере был из-за ковида, общался иногда по-английски по интернету, но редко... заметно стал хуже говорить. Но скоро все вернется, надеюсь, с практикой.
Конечно вернётся, практика это главное!
