Err, what about the tone?

And (though doesn't mean much to me) the two vowels are different.

I thought that was why r2d2 was embarrassed.

A few weeks ago, I was invited by a foreign teacher at a big provincial school with a few Thai teachers. One of them had an accent that I had never heard and I supposed he came from some remote province, but he was Chinese and his thai very fluent. I suppose he mastered the tones quite well (and better than me !) but the sound of his thai was not common.

... Thai wife who loves French and probably will love Italian too, which is for me the most melodious language.

Khun Claude, to start with this: Happy New Year, and all you wish for you I wish to you, in particular health.

Second most important:

In the "tubes" of Bonn I hear, nearly every morning, both "Zaz - Je veux" and "Laura Pausini - Primavera in anticipo". I'm currently, as regards to beauty and esthetics ... more on the side of Zaz. But this can change quickly.
How to translate Je veux and Primavera in anticipo? Suggestion, from my side, "I want" & "Vorgezogener Frühling".
I have - since 40 years (or even longer) - a friend at Rome (so called "Roma"). Most melodious language of THE WORLD? Knowing Thai, Mandarin (nitnoi), Dutch, English, Spanish ... One of the two French/Italian will do that job!

But ... my Thai wife knows Italian (as spoken "in live" or "vis-a-vis"), likes it but loves more French. Actually, this is a problem about which I thought already posting my preceeding post. What I like in Laura Pausini's Primavera in anticipo? I like that an a is an a (a Roman one, or a "Romance"), an e is an e, an i is an i etc.

I fear both you and me love "classical" sound(s), but Zaz represents "modern Jazz".
