Learning Thai again at 22
For a bit of context first
I grew up as half Thai and have been speaking Thai on and off with my mom growing up. She originally put me into Thai language school because we didn't live in Thailand, but I had a lot of issues staying because of personal issues. I now regret it.
Whenever I tell family or strangers "พูดไทยได้นิดหน่อย", they often respond that I'm really good, however I often feel stuck in topics beyond "เป็นยังไง".
I'd love to be able to discuss my opinion about things, rant about my feelings, share insight, things I do in languages I'm more fluent in.
It's been hard to find resources that aren't too advanced but also go beyond daily conversations. I tried taking a private lesson, but the lady was clearly used to more beginners, and she suggested I just listen to more thai.
But I'm curious to hear if anyone has any advice on resources or where I should begin to expand my Thai more. What would you do if you are starting from Intermediate, after having never studied Thai.
Additionally, I can't read or write thai, although I know the alphabet. Any resources on reading that is maybe "teenage" style would be helpful. I know this might be a bit niche but will take any advice I can get!
