Make sure you understand that their is a difference between the way males talk and the way females talk...sounds like stupid advice, but there was one Thai class that graduated from SWC that talked like females (sawadee ka vs. sawadee khrup)
There are also differences between the Bangkok Thai speakers and speakers from other, more agrarian regions - depends on what "accent" you wish to talk with.
Most importantly, don't worry about sounding foolish...they will correct you (especially if you ask them to) so you sound less foolish the next time. I personally am still working on my English
