Hi Ryan, a few comments from a fellow farang learning Thai. Do you read/write Thai at all? The reason I ask, is that some of your pronunciations sound typical of english transliterations of Thai, eg, the consonant "ป" which has a "bp" sound, but is transliterated into english as a "p" sound.

So, instead of saying "Bp-ii" (year), "Bp-rateht" (country) and "Bp-ramaan" (Approximately), you say "Pii", "Prateht", and "Pramaan", respectively.

Also, you need to do more practice on your tones.

Thanks for the tips Oz. This video is over a year old. I can read Thai now, but still most likely have the problems you mentioned. It's tough learning this language not living in the country. Again, thanks for the tips. I'll try to improve those points you mentioned over the next year. Peace

how long take u to learn all that? do u think speaking spanish as a first lenguage will be more difficult to learn thai?

[kobesunset]

It's just a script I wrote and memorized. It took a couple hours to memorize. I did it for my own personal Thai study. If your first language is Spanish it will probably be a little easier for you to pronounce some Thai words compared to someone whose first language is English. In Thai there is a rolling "R" sound. I wish I could make that sound, but I can't.

when you speak normally in thai to your wife do you always use 'pom/ผม'?

[kobesunset]

Yeah, I know what you're getting at. It's the same in Japanese where we usually leave out saying "I", "you", "he", etc. I'm still a beginning Thai speaker.

Your Thai is good! it's not so natural but it's totally understandable and clear.

He's a classic Farang that speaks Thai with an English accent.

The more Bhumibol puts people in jail using the Lese Majeste law, the more people will fight him and want to get rid of him and his family.

Abolish the Lese Majeste law and the Monarchy in Thailand NOW!
