First of all, foreigners who live here ought to know that English is a second language for Thais and learn to speak slowly and clearly. I think it's very rude if they don't adapt. And there's nothing wrong with telling him to slow down and repeat what he said. Don't get into a contest about your English is better than his Thai, etc. Use BOTH languages to make yourselves understood. If you need more listening practice, the Chula bookstore is probably the best for language materials and they have lots of things for listening practice including tapes or CD's.

SpeedTriple Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 bCool You coudl try listening to an Enlgish radio station on the net. I have tried listening to Thai radio in an attempt to improve myThai, but my vocabulary is not really good enough yet. I can make out some of what's being said. www.bbc.co.uk/radio5 Llots of talking, not a lot of music - topical discussions with phone ins. Good for listening to different accents too. You can also try www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 They also allow you to download previous shows.... if you download a file and listen to it and find that you have trouble understanding, I would be more than happy to listen to it too and help you understand it. ⪤´Õ¤ÃѺ Rich.

PaperFlower Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 If you have time should to go up-countries such as USA, UK, Canada or australia. Stay in farang famiy just a few months. I think you can speak english very well bcoz no thai ppl to talk with. For Thai ppl, the writing ability is ok but their conversation have problems bcoz We are not understand what farangs said like this word "Debt"..all thai ppl said "DEP " but Farang not understand bcoz they said " DET". Many words that we studied from Oxford English Book are not in Grammar's rule. If you looking Farang bf to be your trainner.For my eyes, he can help you a bit bcoz you will learn just few words from him...such as..Oh!! my god, don't stop or give it to me...hahahahha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just common sense and respectful. 1 krup, you have some very good suggestions from ppl here. I have spoken with you when i was in Thailand and your English isn't so bad. If you want krup, I will go one step further. You can write anything to me that you want in English. I will correct anything that may need it and that will help with your reading/writing ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbyboy112003 Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Do u have any trick? or if u can help me practice it's gonna be great. dear p'nueng, i didnt have time to read others' post on this topic yet. but hmm.. i just want to share experiece with you now. i started my eng. about 7 years ago. back then i had no clue what 'license' meant. watching movie and trying to catch what they say, listening to english songs and reading lyrics at the same time---that's how i learn my english. i didnt go to private english course/school. i think it's useless and waste of money. i spent that on buying books and monthly cable service. chatting online is also helpful, meeting them in person and trying to build up confidence talking in english. dont be shy to speak. credit to my ex- i lived with him over years so eng was the mean of communication, also special thanks to ABAC -where i studies courses in eng now, i depend mainly on myself in improving eng. i need to communicate with overseas customers in eng. also i try to keep up with new words from TF. one tip: try to listen and notice what they say, listening is always good way to learn to speak you can think up of some fun way to learn eng for yourself, different ppl have different preference. dont you think? good luck na kha :-) You can believe her One krup, she is quicker than me in English when we chat :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
