Hi listeners, do you like riding on a boat? Could you also tell us why you like or don't like it?

Hi Jack,

Thank you for your feedback. In daily conversation colingual Thai you are going to find that "r" sounds are almost always omitted. The new readers on TV. always roll their tongue with "r" sounds through. Regarding Ryan's pronunciation of the letter "r," we'll certainly take your feedback into consideration and work on improving clarity in future lessons. As for Pim's pronunciation of "m" and "ng," it's common for learners to find certain sounds challenging, especially when they're similar in pronunciation.

In the meantime, paying close attention to the Lesson Notes for correct pronunciation is a great approach. I'm glad you find them helpful.

It's great to hear that you're integrating the lessons into your fitness routine. If you have any further questions or feedback as you continue with the course, please don't hesitate to reach out.

สวัสดีค่ะ sa-wat-dii kha

Hi, I like your lessons very much, but I'm sorry to say that sometimes I have trouble understanding Ryan as his pronounciation where he has to use the letter "r" sometimes are hard to understand.

But also Pim confuses me because I hear her often mix up m with ng, or at least when she means to say something with ng, I hear m. Or is that common in Thai to mix them both up. An example is trong nii. I hear trom nii. Or trom pai, instead of trong pai.

On the other hand of course, I will pay more attention to the Lesson Notes to find out what the right pronounciation is.

I do this course mainly as an audio course during my fitness hour. On lesson per hour and that 4 to 5 times. During that time I can't look at text, nor can I stop the audio. So while using your app I just put on auto-repeat.

Hello Michael AM,

Thank you. rót-mee is a public transportation in big city such as Bangkok. rót-bàt is a word for "bus" yes, it is a word we used to refer to this kind of vehicle: https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=%e0%b8%a3%e0%b8%96%e0%b8%9a%e0%b8%b1%e0%b8%aa&form=HDRSC2&first=1&tsc=ImageHoverTitle

rót-bàs is an English loan word for bus, in Thai word we have no "s" sound at the end of syllable. Hope that helps. Please feel free to let me know if you have any future questions. I will be glad to help.

Have a good day.

Hello, Team ThaiPod101.com,

Similar question to Steven Chen's. In a sentence "เรือจะออกตอนกี่โมง", can I say "เรือจะออกกี่โมง" without "ตอน"? I thought it wouldn't change the meaning much.

Thank you!

Hi Steven Chen,

Sa-wat-dii kha khun nak-riian 😄 Great job! Yes, you can say 'ngán gâaw bpai looei láaeo gan' or 'ngán bpai looei láaeo gan' without gâaw 👍Hope that helps. Please feel free to let me know if you have any future questions. I will be glad to help.

Have a good day.

sa-wat-dii kap khun khruu

For 'ngán bpai looei gâaw láaeo gan' can I also say it like 'ngán gâaw bpai looei láaeo gan'?

I know 'gâaw' has no meaning in this sentence so is it okay to omit it altogether?

Cheers

Hello. There is an error in the dialogue at the top.

"A: ไปเกาะพีพีเท่าไหร่ครับ" is translated into "I'm going to Koh Phi-Phi".

Later, in the lesson it's correct.

greetings

Bastian

สวัสดีค่ะ Meow

ขอบคุณค่ะ ท่าจะ mostly use as "to seem".

นี่ท่าจะแพงมากเลยนะครับ nêe tâa jà paeeng mâak looei ná kráp This looks very expensive.

ฉันท่าจะบ้า chăn tâa jà bâa

ผู้ชายคนนั้นท่าจะประสาท! "That man seems crazy!"

ซื้อหมวกใหม่ท่าจะง่ายกว่า "It’s probably easier to just buy a new hat."

อาจจะ might ; maybe ; may

น่าจะ should ; had better [auxiliary verb combination] is worthy of... [+ verb "-ing"]/ ought to/ is worthy of not... [+ verb "-ing"] (say it after the chance of doing something gone and you or someone felt like you or someone should has done /should not done it. )

Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any future questions. I will be glad to help.

Have a good day.

สวัสดีค่ะคุณครู

On top of ท่าจะ and อาจจะ, we also learn น่าจะ as probably, what is the difference between them?

ขอบคุณนะคะ

Hi Ran and Mario,

Yes, Ran that will work. "ผมมักจะซื้ออาหารเกินไปเวลาที่หิว" "ผมมักจะซื้ออาหารเกินไปตอนที่หิว" ก็ถูกทั้งสองแบบค่ะ แต่คนไทย ก็จะพูดว่า เวลาหิว/ตอนหิว ผมมักจะ ซื้อเยอะ ของกิน and เกินไป are imply because Thai not used "too much' as English speaker does. Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any future questions. I will be glad to help.

Have a good day.

Hello Ran,

Thank you very much for join our lesson activity. We really appreciated. Excellence, let me help you fix your sentence a little bit. ชอบ นั่งเรือ … แต่คลื่นไม่แรงเท่านั้นนะครับ

yes, but only if the waves are not strong.

Hope that help. Please let me know if you have any future questions.

sawadee kup. thanks for your answer.

นั่งเรือ...P Ran ชอบ นั่งเรือ ... แต่เท่านั้นถ้าคลื่นไม่แข็ง ..555

yes, but only if the waves are not strong .. haha..

Hello Ran,

Thank you very much for your comment. For your question, both ท่าจะ and อาจจะ are not the same. ท่าจะ is use in a sense of " to seem or probably" but อาจจะ is use in a sense of "may or might". Yes, “probably” signals a greater possibility of something happening than “maybe” or possibly.

Merry Christmas.

May i ask , is the meaning of "ทาจะ" exactly the same as "อาจจะ"?

correct me if m wrong, but i believe "probably" signals a greater possibility of something hapening than "maybe" or possibily.

Does Thai language make that distinction?

thanks makmak.

Hi Todd,

Thanks again for your comment. For your question, there are many different usage of ไว้ wái means "to put in place; to put away; is placed" and also a word that implies a tentative speculation of a plan or course of action in the near future. We usually used ไว้ wái in an intransitive sense meaning to wear; to restore; to store; to keep; to preserve; to conserve; to maintain."ไว้ wái" had no meaning in this sentence phǒm luuem mùuak wái thîi roong-raaem. I forgot my hat (left it ) at the hotel. Hope that help.

Have a nice day.
