Dr_Sassy Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 A doctor in Baltimore asked me to teach him some Thai. I told him I love Beef and taught him how to pronounce the word Beef in Thai. I guess he couldnt concentrate on anything but the word Beef that day : ) - his first Thai word. He said "Thai language is very difficult" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STB Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I read some in the Lonely Planet. My gf also tried to learn me, but I seem to have a selective memory with no room for Thai words or phrases... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khun_lung Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Besides learning the obligatory phrases such as "Khop khun krub" and "Sawasdee", the first actual word that was TAUGHT to me was the word "kaeng" (á¢ç§). This was with a group of Thai businessmen at a bar in the early 80's following dinner while parked at a cocktail lounge with a few hostess girls. And they were keen to point out to me that it had the same enriching versatility as in English. "Mike", one of them said, "you really should learn Thai! You have no idea how much fun you're missing." And the rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grammar (structure, syntax), pronunciation (important), and many Thai words work the same as English, many don't, and you need to query your teacher as HOW you can use that word. For example, Thai has the equivalent to "By the way...", but it is used ONLY in writing, never in the spoken language. Vocabulary is your job. And learning the offensive (slang) words as a priority is dangerous. Maybe cute, but it ought to come later, not sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumper Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 The first Thai word I learned from a Thai person... Well the first night I was in Pattaya. I was walking down the soi my hotel was on and saw a bar. So I thought I'd pop in and have a beer. I ordered a beer and had barely got my cigarette packet and lighter on the counter in front of me. When the girl I was talking to, turned to someone and called out - tee kee yah bouleh ! Seconds later an ashtray was produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
