Northern Thai Language Puns

I have been learning Thai and now at a early B1 stage. What is the benefits of learning the Thai language outside of Thailand. Except it is a niche and perhaps need translators?

Is there any big Thai companies outside of Thailand?

Hello! I am currently studying for a master's degree. And my research would like to explore the food destination image of Northern Thai food from 3 groups of participants: Europe, East Asia, and ASEAN (excluding Thailand). And will be conducted on the respondents who have experienced eating Northern Thai food in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Can you help me fill my thesis questionnaire about Northern Thai food :))Thank you very much!

I am seeking a teacher who can teach conversational and business Thai via zoom.

Please kindly message me if you know of a suitable person.

Hi all,

I'm a Master's student in Applied Linguistics and I'm currently working on a project into the development of Thai as a second language.

I'm looking for participants who are currently learning Thai who would be willing to take part in a short (around 15 minutes) Zoom meeting during which you would be recorded giving some short talks in Thai.

It doesn't matter what level you are, whether you are just starting out learning Thai or if you're already pretty fluent.

If you are interested, please DM me and I can give you more details about the project.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read!

UPDATE: Thanks very much for everyone who has shown interest so far.

Just a few points to clarify to anyone who is interested:

• The project is open to anyone who considers themselves non-native speakers of Thai. It can be your second, third, fourth (etc). language.
• Participants will need to be 18+.
• Participants will be given a consent form to complete if they agree to participate. They will need to include their full name. This will not be shared with anyone apart from myself and my supervisor(s).

I’m wondering how much time is left before Thai for English speakers comes out, considering both Thai and Arabic were worked on at the same time and Arabic albeit BETA is out. I’m also curious, what languages are next?Hopefully Tagalog or Indonesian or Cantonese though African languages, even Afrikaans or Swahili would be nice.

I have no idea whats going on

Let me share some background before I go to my question.

After more than a year in Thailand, I only know the most basic words and phrases. I resolved to give more effort before I turn 2 years here.

I’ve made some progress by learning how to write and read Thai script as well as the tone rules (thanks to this great book by Arthit Juyaso - Read Thai in 10 days). So now I am learning vocabulary and phrases using Thai script which is really useful for remembering the tones.

My next plan after gaining more vocabulary is to get into basic grammar rules as I personally learn better when I know the structure. At the same time I would immerse myself in movies and songs.

Here’s the Q: I know language learning is different for each person but I am curious what was your language learning plan and what did you find useful/most helpful? What did you think were part of your plan that dragged the learning process? Any “eureka moment” in your Thai language journey? Interested in tips on how to move past the beginner stage etc. Thanks!

After many hours of online learning with a private Thai teacher, I’m now interested in being taught in a classroom setting.

I’m looking for schools near or on the Silom BTS line that offers private Thai lessons focusing on reading and writing. (The closer to Bang Wa the better)

Has anyone got any recommendations/ places/websites that is suitable? Prices around 500 a hour seem to be the going rate. Anyone with experiences?

(I understand schools are closed currently so this is for planning in advance)

Unless the language is popular, like French, it's seems more and more unlikely to be heard in the final. This is unfortunate in my opinion. Agree or disagree?

Edit: to about half of you that responded, you're totally misunderstanding my question which is unfortunate. I didn't say Denmark didn't make it because it sang in Danish. I said now that it's eliminated, it sends the worng message. Can't you see the difference? It's common sense and logic 101. E.g. Denmark is very unlikely next year to send a song in Danish. It's already a big issue on social media and many Danish people are blaming it on the language choice.

Also, for those pointing out Serbia, Albania and Ukraine, read my comment about their huge diaspora which makes all the difference in the votes. Again, I'm not saying they made it because of the big the diaspora but it is a very likely possibility. Germany always gave 12 points to Turkey when the popular vote was announced. Switzerland would to Albania and other Balkan countries. Spain would to Romania. Etc etc etc. It's not because Swiss particularly like Albanian entries or Spaniards Romanian or German Turkish.

All I'm asking is for an intelligent debate, and not attacking me without any reason and assuming that I'm just frustrated because Denmark didnt make it. That's ridiculous. I'm not hear for that. I welcome your disagreement, and I'm learning from the good comments and gaining insights, and questioning myself which is a normal process. But don't assume things about me and attack me without even reading what I said. Or if you read it and misunderstand it, then you have a logic problem and maybe reconsider.

I'm thinking about languages like the Pre-Greek substrate, sometimes called "Pelasgian" or "Aegean", or generally about any language spoken by the inhabitants of "Old Europe" before the Indo-European migrations.

To make a more specific example, let's assume that a non-Indo-European language was spoken across some islands of the Aegean, like the Cyclades and Rhodes; would it be realistic to think that the language might have survived after the Mycenean (and therefore Indo-European) colonization/conquest of the islands around 1450 BC, and perhaps continued to be spoken by farmers and other illiterate parts of the population during the Mycenean rule and during the Greek Dark Ages (so up to the 8th century BC)?

Herodotus, for example, wrote (56-58) about the Pelasgians and reported that the inhabitants of Placia and Scylace (in Ancient Mysia, so present-day Sea of Marmara) and of the 'city of Creston' (it is unclear if Creston referred to Kreston in Ancient Macedonia or to the Etruscan city of Cortona/Curtun) still spoke a non-Greek language, perhaps being or having originated from Pelasgian, during his times.

>For the people of Creston and Placia have a language of their own in common, which is not the language of their neighbours; and it is plain that they still preserve the fashion of speech which they brought with them in their migration into the places where they dwell.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Does anyone voluntarily learn how to speak, or read or write in the Thai language? The letters look like musical notes, their names are like 26 characters, and to an untrained ear, it sounds like someone gobbling food fast. But I love their boy love drama series. No one does it as tastefully as them.

I am looking for user guide to LibreOffice in Thai. Any help greatly appreciated.

In England we don't learn them at all but I understand pupils in Wales and Northern Ireland learn Welsh and Irish, from what years do they learn it and must they study it for GCSE? In Scotland do pupils learn Scottish Gaelic and Scots? Also, are pupils allowed to take other GCSE papers like Maths, History, Science, ect. in a celtic languages or must all papers be in english? On a related note what is the infrastructure like for Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Scots in Northern Ireland and Scotland? Thanks!
