Seg 3 of 3 Int 1 Stu Jay Raj Tonight Show Tom Mintier

[enkidu360]

This post should be retitled "Seg 3 of 3 Int 2...." That is, it's interview #2.

[stujaystujay]

What actually happened with this one is that the one show that you see here was actually taped / broadcast as 2 separate shows, so the original recordings were interview 1 and 2. ... not related to the other interview on Joh Jai.

I know, it's just that the title for this post is the same as another post (the real 3 of 3 Int 1..) BTW, would you consider mind-mapping useful in language-learning for mortals like myself?

[stujaystujay]

Ohhh... i see now :)

Mind mapping? ... I support anything that gets your synapses firing!.. and anything that can help you start to think out of solely language structures can only help.

[suteera]

I am impressed.

[anycon]

he can't even speak English

[yahags]

Ever heard of English accents, you wanker?

[MaBu888]

One of my martial arts teachers knows Finnish, Hindi, Pakistani(is that a language, but he speaks it), some other middle eastern languages. So when he speaks to us in English, he sends out a vibe that implies that every language is the same and his English isn't really perfect, having this unspecified satem (maby indo-iranian) language accent. So his name is Hamed Shafae and he probably agrees with the notion, as I do, that the heart and mind and body are one continuum. 5 stars.

The main language of Pakistan is Urdu. :)

[Jussie49]

This dude "(I speak so many languages, duh)" looks really stupid in his THREE-PIECE-SUIT.

Bangkok temperature 37 Centigrade today and everyday.

Who are you trying to impress - Tom "TRUE" Mintier?

My advice lose your 3 piece suit ASAP.

Bangkok Shakes - Hanoi Rocks...

"...to render meaning from the heart". It's... it's just... I don't know... Beautiful!

[stujaystujay]

touching huh... hahaha...

actually, in this part of the world, the heart and mind are the same thing. If you ask a Thai or Chinese (also other countries around the region) to point to their 'mind', they'll point to their chest. You get into a habit here to keep referring to your 'heart' rather than your mind, brain etc.

In Chinese, most words to do with thinking or emotions use the 'heart' radical - 想 思 念 愉快etc... in thai, the word for 'heart' is coupled with other words -

[stujaystujay]

ใจร้อน - hot heart =hot tempered เข้าใจ - enter the heart = understand, ใจดำ - black heart = evil / bad person, นอกใจ - outside of the heart = to have an affair, ใจเย็น - cool heart = calm, ใจแตก - shattered heart = shattered .. by family, friends rejection etc, หายใจ - lose the heart = breathe, ตกใจ - fallen heart = suprised / shocked.

i guess it is pretty poetic in English :)

[ugonsdiar]

Yes it is, and very interesting...

Oriental Languages look always so damned difficult to us, poor small'minded Europeans... And THAI is truly fascinating..thank you for making me aprreciate Thai, since I probably wouldn't have ever discovered it!

i wanna see this video

[ellocorod]

Interesantísimo.

Vi las dos entrevistas (I'm fluent in english), pero preferí la tailandesa, era más una conversación que una entrevista a secas.

Me dieron ganas de terminar de aprender Alemán (viví dos años, pero aprendí lo basico), y veremos que idioma después.

Saludos.

[TheRealQwertyMaster]

Yeah, you're right. Ví la "conversación" con los tailandeses and it was more, er, como más "motivating". I found this guy aquí en YouTube. He's awesome. I read you're fluent in English and estoy tratando de encontrar gente como nosotros :), people who love the real "language-learning process". See you then. Bye!!!

Hey Stu,

Great interview

Blessed are the Cheesemakers...

[PrepeiNaSasPw]

NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE USING SIGN LANGUAGE ANY MORE???? That is absurd.

[stujaystujay]

I'm not sure what was meant by that question by Tom... maybe less deaf people? not sure..

[tdict]

Great job Stu! -David.

[JSJ215]

Great interview Jay!!
