Do not take to much stock in how many years that they have had English in schools, It is a required subject that starts very early on, my wife is an English teacher in Thai govt schools, her students can only say a few words in English and that is all said as a group together and most do not have the slightest idea what they are saying or what it means.
Our daughter has listened to me for 7 years and she understands some, can read and write it well and can not speak it so you could understand what she is saying, And I am around nothing but Thai every day and I can not understand what she is saying in English. But if they are coming to the states then they will have to understand it or they are not allowed to go by most sponsoring agency's.
No problems, it will be a good exp. for both of you. Enjoy.
