5 Tips for learning to speak Thai in 6 Months 

Thai Talk with Paddy Thai! 😂

Thai Talk with Paddy I’m still learning English because English is fun 555

Jidlada6699 that’s great that you enjoy it! If it’s not fun, it would be so hard to learn...

💁🏻‍♂️I'm currently learning my 3rd language which is Japanese.. I've mastered Hiragana. I'm currently halfway through Katakana.. I think after Katakana I should learn the sentence structure and the radicals before taking on the 2000+ Kanji 😅

Stib yeh Kanji is a tough beast to get on top of so best of luck with that! As long as you are having fun!

Wooow the same

@@monicafellulageller3007 samee

👍👍

Exactly! But the ride is tough

@Sansuwey Suwaymaaak hi there 👋 do you think what level are you now? Beginner, Intermediate or advance?

Briony Wisutthisri 😂

It means "You are the best white guy I know". I think

Hey Briony! Amin here, remember me?

@@aminquraishi2367 omg! I dooo, this is so weird n crazy finding me here 555 if you want to get back in contact just msg me on line again :D

This phrase means: 'You act very strongly like a white guy, your mannerisms, the way you speak, the way you walk, the things you do, your hobbies, your lifestyle, what you eat, etc, etc, etc...very CAUCASIAN (white) way of living in the world.' It is a gentle, 'friendly insult' to tease your friend. Sometimes, used to say to your friend he is not cool, like an African-American man African-American man, and Italian man, etc...he is very, very white. 😉

Loffa Good that makes me super happy to hear you find them helpful

Jeff Gunzel thanks so much for watching! And yep, the amount of times I used to reply with just “krap” without not having an idea of what they were saying would be difficult to count!

totally agree with that,and i would say thats why its hard to speak with natives as they just assume you are fluent and dont slow their speech to help you and then it puts u off speaking it with natives

I found the exact same thing in Japan. They think that you know either nothing or everything.

I had this when I was learning Spanish as well 😂 I guess it's pretty normal and I'd do the same when a non-native English speaker starts speaking broken English to me

Apostol Marinov yep! Definitely give it a try and see if it works!

Have you tried actually using Thai? Like, writing a diary or chatting with people or meeting with a tandem partner? Actively using it is always the hardest part of learning a language, but there's no other way around it than just doing it. Good luck with your studies!

Use the app HelloTalk if you need to find Thai people to practice with.

Same

Sameee and when my mom try to teach me she gets so frustrated and angry😭

We’re not alone bestiee 😂

Awe you guys are adorable

Same. There are way more people with thai moms then I thought

I'm from India and I can speak 3 different language -hindi 'assamese 'bangla and little bit English

I'd be fascinated to here how you learned some Tibetan? That's so cool! 😯 Are you at a high level in the language? 😃

me i can speak nepali english hindi

I try to do it in mandrin at chinese restaurant i somehow ended up eating camels.

I'm just a monolingual Russian🥲🥲🥲Sad

I'm a Thai native speaker and I think you used it correct. Here are the Thai words you're using: Lakorn (ละคร) = drama Sanook (สนุก) = fun, enjoyable

@@jackvatcharat7631 yayy thanks 🥺❤️

@@jackvatcharat7631 More like drama show or just show.

Thanks so much 🙏 glad you enjoyed it! Thai internet resources always seem to be a little bit light for Thai learners unfortunately so I hope some current learners can help you out 🤞

@@JangoMando stop having your head in such places and touch grass

@@JangoMando because there are countless memes of it online?

@@JangoMando but its not and you know what you wrote..

@@JangoMando again, for 3rd time, you knew what you wrote

yeah like get worried about Tone marks

My mum is Thai but whenever I ask her if she can teach me she always says she isn’t confident which is absolutely fine with me it just kinda sucks since I don’t want to spend a lot of money on resources when I can learn for free with my mum, she has plenty of Thai friends I can ask but they all say the same thing I just don’t understand.

Wishing you all the best with your studies and thanks a lot for watching!

T W so interesting! It happens in so many countries when they teach language!

If your brain is confused with 2 totally different languages, try learning these two(very) similar languages like Spanish and Italian. Then, you will see true confusion. 😂❤

No problems!! Good luck with your learning journey! Starting with the writing should give you a good foundation 👌

I'm the opposite, only know some phrases and sentences but no idea about the writing. That's just because I learned from Thai people during the daily life

I'm Thai and want to be an exchange student in America. I hope that I won't forget my language. Hope you relearn Thai soon.

latze98 confidence is key 🔑 keep up the good work !

This is true!

Ur Right there's a high chance to learn Thai faster than anyone cz he's listening to them everyday

yui sirikun ขอโทษที่พูดเร็วเกินไปนะครับ 🙇‍♂️

@@ThaiTalkwithPaddy ไม่เปนใรคะ....เปนตัวของตัวเอง ดีที่สุด ☺

อดิศักดิ์ อร่ามศักดิ์ ขอบคุณมากๆนะครับ 🙏🙏

The problem with some Thai they love to make fun of others! Your wife is your best teacher, don't take it too seriously one day you will wake up finding yourself speaking thai like a native Good luck

Good luck with it! I’m sure you will 👍🏼

Lógicamete en zonas rurales casi nadie habla otros idiomas, debiste aprender thai antes de ir ahí, si estás ahí aprovecha aprender thai con los rurales y usa videos de cursos más series con subtitulos.

Hacks

Aarushi thanks so much 🙏 trying my best ! Haha

Well done! Keep up the great work

@@ThaiTalkwithPaddy ขอบคุณค่ะ! I'll keep working hard ☺️

ไปๆๆ ไม่ต้องกลัวนะครับ

I'd like to learn, how would you recommend going about it? What resources worked for you?

@@kylefaria-robertson7811 I'm not an expert of anything, especially Thai, but the advice I can give you, coming from someone who's also learning is: just don't give. It takes a lot of practice, takes of lot of time but it's worth it. I would recommend watching a lot of lessons here on RU-vid, my favourite is "I Get Thais", but there's lots others. Those will help you a lot, especially if you're still in the early states of learning the basics (alphabet, tones and essential vocabulary). But on your own: write, a lot, like everyday! Search small poems and simple sentences to practice, write it all down, then write the roman version and also the translation (this is also good for your vocabulary). Try diving into Thai music, there's plenty of genres so I bet you can find what you're into. Then do the same with the poems: write down the lyrics, the translation and if you're comfortable try singing along while listening to it. When you start emerging yourself in the language you'll start noticing patterns, wether on letters (if you're still learning the alphabet), certain words, and even expression, so it's really important to keep that contact. Keep looking for new ways to bring the language to your day to day life. Hope you really do start learning, it's a great language and culture overall! And hope I helped in some way! I do have some more detailed tips if you want, but I'm afraid it would be too long lol

One thing that keeps occurring to me is would it be a little bit useful, immensely useful or not particularly useful when learning a new language for him/her to study reading and writing in that language?

@@SebDangerfield-yu7cm reading and writing in the language your learning it's two of the most important steps you have to take to immerse yourself in your study, they're obligatory. There's no other way to do it if you really wanna improve in your comprehension, especially with languages that have different alphabets!

@@emaelsb Thanks. I kinda thought that might be the case, to learn a new language properly. I don't know what you think of my next idea which is to maybe pick up some Thai early-learning books which Thais would use to teach their own kids to read and write (I'm thinking of "The cat sat on the mat" and/or "Janet and John" level books which I was taught to read and write English with, in school).

Malaysian ke? Tgh study thai jugak. Tp sgt sgt beginners level. Haha.

@@jjkk0778 haah org malaysia jugak. Dh lama dh tinggal bhs thai . Bljr sendiri je dh . 😂😂😂

At least ada belajar 😅. Better belajar cakap or tulis/baca dulu? Practise sorg2 ni, xtahu betul ke tak sebut nya haha

@@jjkk0778 kalau bagi sy la better bljr ckp dlu sblm bljr tulisan . Fhm words² dlm thai dlu . Perkataan² harian . sebab kalau bljr tulisan tpi tak faham makna tak boleh jgk .. bljr je dlu guna alphabet .

Itulah. Sbb confused ada yg ckp better belajar cakap dlu. Ada yg better belajar tulis baca dlu. 😂 Rasanya blajar phrases yg simple and selalu guna la kan better. And tgk jgk tujuan stdy thai ni utk apa. Mcm kt mlysia sndri ni..ramai je chinese yg boleh ckp mndarin tp xreti sgt tulis or baca. Aneh 😂😂

Felisa Duenas thank you so much for watching and commenting! Yes, I used to bring a notepad and dictionary everywhere I went! That is how I learnt! You can study by ear but I find writing it down always helped! Good luck with your studies

great, have you managed to learn any thai?

Saranyu Prayoonhong ให้โชคดีด้วยนะครับ ✌️🇬🇧
