[rolbiecki]

He counts wrong. Its not Hok for number six.... And its not num for the number one...

[THeOLdMaNAC119]

Your Thai's pronouciation still need more works on it. However, I really appreciate and thank you that you love Thailand and try to spread your knowledge to others.

[daveusaz1218]

Wow, your taking some flak on your pronunciation, Mai pen rai klub. I'll bet being a specialist in hair replacement, work is a little slow in Thailand since most Thai people have beautiful heads of hair, I'm a farang and I do not, LOL but I am happy the way I am. You keep up the good work on your videos.

[anchali21]

Oh my God! im going to die, i am learning Thai language , what happened with the tones??

[guerrillabeast2010]

dude this guy's thai is shit

[tku28]

Would you trust this man with your kids in the classroom ? this is the burning question that is on all our minds.

( freelance private teaching ftw )

[Flommie]

What happened to the tones?

[kanhomcake]

First of all, I would said he try his best to teach thai language for anyone. Eventhough his pronounce of thai words may slightly differnt what it should be. I recomend anyone who would love to learn thai laguage that thai song or thai movie may help you some how. I will be happy to help anyone on here to learn thai....

[lbb2r]

@kanhomcake จริงหรอครับ  มาช่วยผมหน่อยดิ

[kanhomcake]

@lbb2r จะให้ช่วยอย่างไงดีคะนี่ ^^ เห็นลุ๊ค พูดภาษาไทยได้ชัดเจนกว่าคนไทยบา­งคนสะอีกนะคะ เราเคยไปย้อนไปดูคลิปของลุ๊ค ว่าอะไรเป็นแรงบันดาลใจให้เรียน­ภาษาไทย ฟังแล้วก็รู้สึกทึ่งมากๆ เพราะว่า ถึงแม้ว่าเราเองเป็นคนไทย พูดภาษาไทย และนับถือศาสนาพุทธ แต่เราเองก็ไม่ได้ให้ความสนใจกั­บภาษาไทยและศาสนาพุทธอย่างที่คว­ร ไม่อยากจะบอกว่าอายจริงๆ ^^ เอาละลุ๊คชอบดูหนังที่พากย์ไทยบ­้างหรือเปล่า ศัพท์แสลงเยอะมากมาย ^^

[apolloniavitelli]

Very cool! Thanks for making the video.

I would love to start learning Thai. It sounds fun (I watch Thai horror films--so scary!!)

My problem is I am compulsive and take up 2-3 languages at a time! But I can't help it because I love foreign languages so much!

[lupusmary]

Sorry, but he has no idea about the tones in thai language.

[robboultimate]

this guy sucks. so gives me more confidence i like it lol

[barrypadgett2008]

How long have you been in Thailand?Do you get paid for these lessons?

[vita10052007]

He is great because he is not Thai and can teach Thai. Sure, it can't be perfectful like Thai native speaking but what he speaks is from his full effort that not many peple can do. Thai language is not easy even Thai native speakers many times speak wrongly.

[HatedWar]

it all about sex is not he want to help.

[HatedWar]

but his thai teaching is suckI he speak wrong word example pai=go he said by lol khop khun kap= thank you sir he said kor pon lol what kind of thai language is that?

[assadd1]

You're right, but though he may be older and funky from a certain standpoint, it can help others who are not Thai, to see a non-Thai learner of Thai language practicing. For pronunciation and all, you'd then have to go with native Thai speakers to get that straight.

[andy370]

OMG I can speak better thai than this guy and I have only been there a total of about 4 weeks. But for an Englishman I suppose he is amazingly fluent and exotic. If you are an Englishman from England then maybe this is for you but for anyone else there are much better teachers out there.

[piscesariescusp121]

okay. so maybe he isnt the most engaging teacher, but atleast he gives you the basics and the basics are pretty useful. he knows what to emphasize and thats a good start.

[OzDelphi]

"okay. so maybe he isnt the most engaging teacher, but atleast he gives you the basics and the basics are pretty useful. he knows what to emphasize and thats a good start." (piscesariescusp121)

But, his spoken Thai is absolute crap! There are Thai language video's on YouTube made by people who can actually speak Thai.

[CO2umbrella]

This guy isn't very good.

[skybiscuit]

Good stuff. Useful.

[yviva]

could you say the female part more? it's hard to remember when you keep repeating the male part...

[MhiuMike]

good but impossible thai sound,i am thai

[dgj3925]

Sorry, but his accent is terrible.

[uitgs]

i wonder why he went to thailand ¬!

[NiggaManWTF]

for pattaya pussy

[yippybear]

Nice try ;)

I am Thai. Even if your accent or pronunciations are not exactly correct but I think most Thai people can understand you. Moreover your clip is quite very useful for foreigners living in Thailand because most of Thai words in your clips are normally used in different situations.

Well done and Khob Khun Krub (Thank you)

[t0mmmmmy]

Pfff...Who cares about accents, just the words and they will be happy u try it, WHO CARES ABOUT SPEAKING CORRECTLY, I M NOT A ZIPHEAD

[noteydotey]

DUDE this guy's accent is worse than mine!

[Dboy66]

He sounds horrible. Don't listen to this. Also, you don't *literally* put a "krap" after everything you say...just listen to native Thai speakers...they don't do that.

[GoAndGetALife]

Youch. This is like a snuff film; absolutely horrible and wrong, wrong, wrong...but yet I felt compelled to watch.

Sorry, bolehbuat08, but his Thai is absolutely too terrible to give any credit for. I give him credit for bravery, but not for his Thai. I had a better grasp of Thai within weeks of coming to Thailand, and I'm nothing special.

Everybody, please, don't point ANY part of your foot at people in Thailand, and don't learn Thai from the likes of this guy!

ขอหพุณคั่บ :)

[OzDelphi]

Sorry, but that is the worst Thai I have ever heard! You need to stop learning from english transliterations of Thai words, and learn the actual Thai consonants and vowels, so you can pronounce them correctly. Oh, and before you do that, learn the 5 tones. BTW, I am farang, not Thai.

[bolehbuat08]

Simply put it Thai language is not an easy language to master either in writing or speaking.We have to give him credits for many ppl have stayed in Thai for many years and yet not able to speak Thai fluently. The five tones Thai tonage is very diffuclt to learn. It is indeed a very nice and fun to learn.just learn it well ..Korp Khun krap

[thaijaybird]

wow....ha don't learn thai from him.  i speak thai and i couldn't understand much!!! thats too funny!

[minburi]

His tones suck! Especially "ผม" he doesn't use the rising tone. Ouch.. hurts my ears listening.. ตรงไป = dtrong bpai not trong bai... and he is so wrong with the words for left and right and the numbers.... jesus. He's a double douche.

[veritas1230]

Seriously did you learn thai like 10 minutes before you posted this video? Your pronunciation is terrible. Especially korp khun, its funny because you said "you" means khun right before it and then you say thank you kaw phun. lol. Douche
