Original vdo is from English Fit and Firm Channel but I thought the audience from this Channel might find it interesting, so I shared it with you guys. Hope you enjoy it.

Sawadee ka. I'm trying to learn. I was adopted from Bangkok by Swedish parents, now I'm trying to learn Thai with the help of my Luk Kreung friends

Iv been trying to learn Thai on and off for a while but with no structure watching your videos have give me a real big push to try again to achieve fluency And I love how respectful this Dutch guy is towards Thai culture and to watch him speak your native tongue so well is very inspiring. ขอบคุณมากทั้งสอง 🙏🏼

His English is very close to perfect. I've found that is true of most Dutch.

Hoe heb jij Thais geleerd? Ik ben een 20 jarige student en probeer het zo snel mogelijk te leren

He sound like a cool dude. Definitely someone I would love to have a beer with whenever I get to go to Thailand for the first time. 😂

Fantastic video and thanks for all the advice...... I wish my Thai was half as good as yours...... Tbh my passa Thai is mi dee! Mack Mack

I love how you speak in Thai and he respond in English

น้องสำเนียงเสียงภาษาอังกฤษดีมาก พี่เล็กชอบ ว่างๆมาฟังแรงบันดาลใจกันกับพี่เล็กนะ

His answers are so very funny and true!

I am in the process of learning Thai at the moment, not to get girls, but for my girlfriend. She speaks very limited English, within 2 months I have learned more Thai than she knows of English. Thai language is very different to English, direct translation does not always work correctly due to grammatical differences and words that just do not exist in Thai. There are many words that only exist in English and do not translate in other languages as English is a much bigger language than almost any other, second only to Arabic. Update: Around 7 months into learning Thai, almost fluent and can hold an extended conversation. I can create long sentences, explain things, ask questions and express opinion or emotion.

@@abbigayedavis1730 Mostly google translate, didn't find books very helpful because I can't read thai perfectly yet. I can read a lot but i cant write much. I also talk with my girlfriend for at least 5 hours every day and it is good practise. If you dont know any Thai people then go to a Thai restaurant or store , they are almost always friendly and are very surprised to see that a farang is willing to learn their language.

@@abbigayedavis1730 One thing that helped me the most is my whiteboard, I bought a small whiteboard and hung it on the wall in my room. Write some words you want to learn on it and every day when you look at it, you will be reminded of this word. It will stick in your mind eventually. Dont wipe the word off of the board until you remember it.

@@sheogorathdaedricprinceofm320 oh ok thanks. What i have been doing recently is watching thai shows on netflix with english subs and then i rewind the same scene and switchh to thai subs. A benefit of that is associatinh the sounds with the words. However, I realized that Thais speak really, really fast and when they do, they don't enunciate every syllable and the words sound different. Basically, identical words are said differently when spoken slowly versus quickly. So my new obstacle is to train my ear to the fast talking.

A shame she doesn’t teach Thai (only English). So easy to understand. At least do more videos.

Hey you guys are sitting in my favourite park; Benjakitti Park at the Sukhumvit end. I could tell before you even swung the camera. I used to sit and read on those steps. I am a ferang. Khon Angrit. English guy. I used to live on Sukhumvit Soi 12 and rollerblade in that park. Miss it. Dam i am so jealous he speaks Thai so well ! Respect. I am trying to follow this video but my thai is not so good. Thank you, awesome video. X

Pluck up heart. Thai is a tough nut to crack and the greatest linguistic challenge I faced to date. Although I hope to reach native level listening & reading comprehension, speaking may remain a life long unaurmountable challenge.

The dowry was one of the biggest problems I had with my Thai girlfriend. It felt like I was buying a wife, a piece of property...a thing. I just couldn’t understand.

Really? Geiten strelen? As a Dutch woman I can tell you.. aaien is a better word. Strelen is What I do to my boyfriend

Hi dear, an interesting video I would like to learn Thai, have already come to Thailand on vacation several times. I love Thai culture and Thai food. But the language is usually a barrier. How can I learn Thai quickly. Can you help me please? 🙏

Males also say "I" as phom ผม while females say chan or di-chan ดิฉัน.​ Both can instead use rao เรา, but it's informal and can be considered rude if you don't know the person
