Your Thai friend needed to listen to Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady: "English, the Americans haven't spoken it for years."

With a dictionary and phrase book In Thailand in 1989 for two weeks I was uintentionally telling everyone I was a woman since I didn't know pronouns are gendered. They were all smiling. Viel spass.
