45 Minutes of Thai Conversation Practice - Improve Speaking Skills 

ฝ

ขอบคุณมากค่ะ 🌻

Keep it up, you can do it!! It’s really useful to learn Thai because I can watch Thai dramas and listening to Thai music as Thai people often communicate by singing 😂

I personally started learning about the country's history aswell cause it's a beautiful country

It's also hard to find people to practice conversing slowly with as you learn each stage (nouns,verbs) like, hold on!

​@@luckylamkimrin6981 I love Isaan music

You're just like me very much! Since I left Switzerland in 2004, I forgot a lot to speaking German and French. Thank to you tube, I'm able to regain my knowledge of speaking the languages again and less forgotten.

Same! Going back in 4 months and hope to be able to have some lengthy conversations with some of my friends from last time! Good luck!

Michael, it's really difficult to translate word for word from Thai to English because of the grammar structure. For example, I could translate " Satani tham ruat yoo tee nie" word for word as "station police where is it" which, as you can guess means I am asking "where the police station is?".

@@ericbennison7483 translating it word for helps helps us understand though how the sentence structure works. I’m the same way and need that when learning!

Do you have recommendations for good youtubechannels for learning Lao?

I've always wondered about that.

Just started learning. Vowels modify consonants; so consonants/vowels always(?) come in pairs. No spacing for letters in a sentence. But space between sentences.

You have to learn their 44 alphabets first😂

I have a hundred coloyyred ducks with all the symbos and I squeak them every time I see or hear a different Thai symbol. It has not helped me learn Thai but it does annoy all the people around me so I can recommend.

Hi bro did you translate thaai to latin?

@@eswarkb1515 No. I did not. I don't have any knowledge for LATIN.

@@namekujidoudesyou ok

Enjoy your stay, I was there 5 years ago, had a great time there. Tip: you must visit the old Royal Palace, a gem of a place, but you must wear appropriate clothing or they will not let you in ie Ladies need to cover arms and legs, Men need to wear long Trousers. Gx

For all people who think learning a language 2 weeks before coming to another country will be useful, it wont. Especially when we are talking about Asian country, one year is nothing

Despite living in London, it actually took me 4 to 5 years to realise that 😂

Yeah in Ireland the phrase "How are you" is rarely used unless in formal settings. More common phrases would be "How's things/How's things with ya?" (very informal, btw), "How's it going?" "You doing well?", "What's the story" (also very informal), "Alright?"

Chan is usually used for female / feminine identifying persons and phom is used for male/masculine identifying persons -- both mean "I / I'm"

Don't let yourself be polite, John. 😂

yes phom

So hard and so ladyrinthine .You don't have to pay attention to this one much ,because when it is on a letter, that letter is not pronounced

It is true that "Chân" is for female? And the rightful for male is "Pomp"? Answer me pls, I always use Chân and someone told me its for female

@@aronjoshuaarquero3821 yes, Chan is for women to use. Pom with a rising tone is for men.

@@FlatulentWhale owww thank you very much, rn I' m studying thai consonants and vowels, thank you again for the response 😊

as far as i know, 'chan' is also considered gender neutral esp in informal conversations.

@@blackvelvettrash3719 Yes, few men will use it in limited situations with close female friends, but ผม (pŏm) is only used by men. A language learner should learn the proper and widely accepted form, not the rare use case words from the start. If they choose to use them when they become familiar with the language, that's a different story.

All spot on. But if one uses Pom as a male and use "na krap" after an answer, isn't that speaking very politely? Even though not used between Thai much, it might be enderingly polite?

ฉันได้เรียนภาษาไทยมา 3 เดือนแล้ว Keep going.

Beter say this polite particle after each sentence when speaking formal. Royals or goverment. Often when talking to teacher or monk. And at least couple time in a conversation with strangers. 1 per 5 sentences? This is what I noticed when I was tourist talking with Thai. Even when they speak English, they tend to use the polite particle every 5 sentences. Like this: The cab will come tomorrowmorning. Kha. We will wake you up and call your room. Breakfast is prepared by then. Please check out this evening. Kha. We hope you enjoyed your stay with us. Kha. If you have any questions call the servicedesk. Kha. So they don't usually say it with every sentence unless you speak with high officials. With friends and younger family you can omit use of polite particle. But with older family, pay respect and use it often. Hope this helps. I'm still learning Thai too, I find it very difficult.

@@theyarnycaterpillar3563 Hi, I am just curious. Whats the reason why you learning Thai? Love or sth else?

@@rozumnaistota9489 I was born in Thailand but grew up in Europe so basically I want to speak the languages of my roots? How about you?
