How Much Thai Can You Learn in 2 HOURS!? 🇹🇭 

YES, please meet again. Would be nice.

@@Jonathanneilson602 ...and where is yours?

nice work janice , khun Janice keng mak mak na 🤣😄👍

are you serious?

@@antonyzhou6602 absolutely. I've been to Thailand 10 times over the past ten years and have only managed to pick up and retain a few words. The ones I have learnt, I struggle to pronounce, so much so that Thais will just look at me with this puzzled look on their face and have no idea what I'm trying to say. A Thai woman who spoke very poor English even told me that, "It's nice that you're trying to speak Thai, but you probably shouldn't", or words to that effect. Speaking Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese would definitely be an advantage in learning Thai, however Janice is a natural for sure.

​@@fapman7789 Please don't let the "you probably shouldn't" bring you down. As a Thai I like when foreigners try to speak Thai. It shows that they're trying.

​@@fapman7789 I assume that u didnt take learning Thai seriously, in that case there is nothing strange. It would be good for people to stop demonizing Asian languages. They are actually more difficult, but they can definitely be learned or mastered. you just need motivation and patience. Pronounce the correct tones, they will come by themselves after some time.

@@Soreto23 no, I've been there 10 times in 10 years and tried for years to learn Thai. Some people just can't learn Asian languages, no matter how hard they try, and I'm one of those people. I've tried with multiple language learning courses, bought Stuart Jay Raj's book and others, etc. I've had Thai people look at me in disbelief, not being able to understand any tones I'm trying to pronounce, and then tell me I shouldn't try to talk in Thai. Some people will never be able to speak Thai, no matter how hard they try, and just have to accept it.

I thought it may have been! Thanks for the confirmation Andrew

This was actually filmed in Australia! But thank you for watching 🙏

Ahh sorry I’m too surprised so I commented before watching it haha

Not incorrect! But still thought I’d include it. Thanks as always for watching!

I was wondering that too. But I couldn't remember the Thai word and I've now crossed into Laos where they use "ka-lem", which I assume is from French.

Just trying to finalise details! Hoping to get it organised soon

Thanks so much for coming! 🙏

That was the only one I didn't know either. I would've guessed luk-???-bla (-:

I've heard that ร "r" is officially supposed to be a rolled r but that that was put in place by a previous king in imitation of European languages. It seems only posh-sounding Thais pronounce it that way all the time though I think everybody can do it if they want to sound posh or formal. Most normal people just pronounce it like ล "l", or if it comes after another consonant it's dropped entirely. The word for country "pratet" usually sounds like "patet" for instance.
