You were too lenient, actually. Here are the discrepancies you let us get away with: "I'm not feel" | "during weekend" | "most favourite" | "will going to" | "so I eat" (for an exception we say "so I'm eating") Well, I saved you 2000 ฿ dude. Since each participant made at least one mistake. Hope everyone has learned something. And keep having FUN! (comment below for questions).

Several of us just lack self-confidence, if they throw away those mentality then it is easy! I used to be like this when I was around 18-19. Tho I have background in Christ school, and study in international university (well teacher speak in English) It like many of us just didn't have a change to use English that why they have little confidence.

Thanks for encouraging Thai people to speak English. Even they didn’t do perfectly but you generous enough to give the money to them. Besides giving money I believe you also gave them the confidence and good feeling towards English language.

Great to see how Paddy encouraged them by giving them another chance to speak and not judging them by their accent

This is so good. I remember, i suggested this in my comment on your previous English to Thai challenge. It is nice to know that many Thai speak English confidently already. ☺️

Paddy is definitely generous. He told them that the grammar has to be correct, but he literally let it all slide. With just a bit of imperfection, the new gens in the capital city can definitely speak more English. No doubt about it. Comparing this to just 20-30 years ago, Back then, it was surly hard to find anyone on the street who could speak English as good as these kids. My country has gone more and more international❤

This was really entertaining to see how Thai people are able to speak English while foreigners who live there can't speak Thai. Thanks for sharing

I think it is becuse of the English languge is the National Languge which be used the most. So, in Thai, English languge has been indicated in standard lesson that almost kid need to be tought. However, Thai languge is not famouse in another country, more letter, more intentional ton. It will be so hard for foreigners to learn and take so much to learn.

English has a fun trick. If you can get some keywords of the sentence, you can patch together the rest of the phrase. Love the enthusiasm of your contestants.

Great video! Very proud of the Thai people for learning English. They seem to have come a long way!!

We definitely need a part 2 with harder vocab! The Thai talent at English is superb!

Wow Paddy! Your Thai has improved quite significantly there, I presume from being in a totally immersive Thai environment... and these guys are good in their command of the English language also, especially the girl in white. I am really impressed with the young gen. Good for Thailand and its future!

You give them the courage to speak with confidence. Even if it's not 100 % accurate. But it will allow it to be developed further.

น้องๆๆเก่งกันมากเลยค่ะ ความพยายามในการแปลภาษาเกิน 100 เลยค่ะ ดูแล้วน่ารักและยิ้มไปด้วยค่ะ You guys are so awesome ka.

Because he's using the common Bangkok dialect which is used for learning Thai. In the North, North East, South, the dialects are different and that's where it gets tricky

This is quite an eye opening experience, in the past I think many Thai people didn't have the confidence to speak English but seeing this shows that there is a great improvement, especially in the mindset and the vocabulary, most of the time Thai people are really good at writing English but it seems they are more confident in speaking English, even though this is probably mostly true for Thais in larger cities like Bangkok it's still very promising, thanks for this video Paddy! PS in Thai too but grew up abroad 😉

I spent 12 days in Thailand. While I learnt basic Thai to get by, I found English proficiency varied ALOT. Depending on their level of education and occupation. Most of the Grab/Bolt drivers spoke very little or no English. Most Airport and hospitality staff had decent english. Average Joes on the street could only speak a little bit but there was always a fluent person around to help with English when people didn't understand me. But overall, you can easily get by with just English in Thailand. It's pretty English friendly.

Great video as always Paddy, love to see it.

Good video. I really enjoyed seeing the excitment when they got each one right.

This video was a lot of fun, I wish I could speak as much Thai as they could English, they were very impressive.

Brightened up freezing afternoon in the UK 👍🤣 Fun challenge and lovely people 🙏

Paddy, says a lot about the quality of your videos that I didn't just skip through the ad break on instinct 😅 I think it's great how you set the whole thing up by telling the participants that you'd be a real stickler for sentence structure and grammar, but ultimately it was an exercise in building some confidence in your ability to communicate effectively in a second language. Looks like you did a great job encouraging everyone, and they all seemed proud of themselves for having passed. Keep up the great work!!

It appears the younger generation (whom you interviewed) will have a better level of English than older folks. It's good that people like Chompoo are learning English from non-International high schools too.

I absolutely love your videos. Keep it up. I am not surprise with the results though. You were in the city center near one of the best university in Thailand doing the quiz. Go to upcountry next time man. It will be more fun.
