What do you mean you don't speak Thai? You eat Green Curry don't you?
You can buy perfectly reasonable thai green curry paste and the shop-bought stuff includes kaffir lime leaves which makes life easier, But Thai food is all about freshness; bright, fresh flavours - herbs, chillis lemongrass. You should try it
This makes enough for about 6 people's worth of curry
Chop the chillis, spring onions, fresh coriander, garlic and lemongrass and chuck them in the blender with enough vegetable oil to make the thing go
Grind them to a paste with a dozen or so whole black peppercorns
Add the rest of the ingredients and a bit of salt and, if it needs a bit of help, a splash of water
Grind it to a paste
That’s it

But, he loves his family and he can cook a bit.
