As a student of Pablo in Dreaming Spanish, this video makes me proud. Both Dreaming Spanish and Pablo are great.
What a coincidence! As a Thai-American learning Spanish, I have been watching Pablo's channel not knowing he is fluent in Thai. I was very surprised to see him speak Thai so well.
Would you say he spoke close like a native or did he have a noticeable accent?
@@jamesmccloud7535 - Pablo speaks Thai well but you can tell he is not a native speaker. I rate his Thai a score of 7 out of 10.
@@kevinp8108 I see, still pretty good then. He did say his Japanese is better since he spent way more time at it. The fact he can understand everything from the conversation and still articulate his thoughts well seem to me a clear indication that the method works.
@@jamesmccloud7535 I've met people with better accents them him and one that sounded as if he were native (although there were other problems with his thai) so it's extremely misleading for him to claim that the listening only approach is the only way to getting a native accent or a good accent or that reading early on harms your accent (which no literature in the field supports to my knowledge).
@@kevinp8108 Hi! Can you elaborate on this a bit? :) Like does he make many grammar mistakes? Or does he maybe make few mistakes, but you can tell it is because he is sticking to simple grammar? Or pronunciation, is the pronunciation good but the rhythm/sentence stress is off, or visa versa, etc?
Not only was it a great interview, I have a lot of respect for you recommending a different youtube channel to learn through Comprehensible Input. It shows you really care about your students!
which channel did he shared, please tell me?
@@ayushdas204Comprehensible Thai
@@Weareallmadheretoo yes its great to mention other channels. On Comprehensible Thai, which is my main ressource for comprehensible input in Thai, I heard about dreamingspanish for the first time.
Thanks for the mention! I appreciate that.
And great interview too :)
This was really nice to see! I never doubted him, of course, but I have always wondered how well Pablo knew Thai from using the Comprehensible Input method!
Hell yeah! Makes me trust in Pablo's way of learning more. I too also believed him from the start as he follows Stephen Krashen and Comprehensible Input. Good to see real results from it, especially from someone who I learn primarily my target language from.
Great interview, I recommend Pablo's channel to everyone who wants to learn Spanish!
I really like this interview! Khun Pablo is an expert in learning languages! Thanks for you two!
Wonderfull interview. I am Spanish and i am learning thai as well, maybe one day i will speak like Pablo 55. My thai girlfriend need to speak Spanish as well and is looking for a good native Spanish teacher. I wonder if Pablo or somebody else could teach her Spanish online. Let me know please. Khob khun krab
Just dreaming Spanish, the TH-cam channel
Dreaming Spanish. Do crosstalk with your girlfriend.
i came across this on spotify and came to here to watch the subtitled version. Very helpful for me since i’m learning Thai,Japanese and English at the same time. Hope to watch more talking videos like this,thank you very much❤
I found the channel Comprehensible Thai but does anyone know where is the channel she mentioned, "All in Thai" ?
Wondering about the same.
After searching around a litte, I believe she might've renamed it to ‘Comprehensible Thai’. There is a playlist (on this channel) called that, so it might be that one she was referring to in the video. Only 4 videos, unfortunately, but there seems to be other playlists aimed at beginners as well.
Kru Samuk, thanks for sharing this! I watch videos from your channel as well as comprehensible Thai. Both are excellent resources. I'm very impressed that you also mention other channels which may compete with your own. Thia shows that you have the students best interests at heart, not just your own income...much respect 🙏🙏🙏.
Now im going to look at your comprehensib input vids too!
Much as gracious. Soy inglés y aprendo español y Thai.
Thank you, it was very interesting! Would love to see more of such videos!
This method is interesting but soo scary! haha i'm so bad in listening, i guess reading is my choice :D
You might find these easy enough: th-cam.com/play/PLgdZTyVWfUhlxVi68zFEL8Lu5Q0Bocgbp.html
Go Pablo! ¡Muy impresionante!
นี้คือวิดีไอดีมาก
Great video, how to find your channel "all in thai"? 😃
That was a great interview!
Awesome 😍
Great video. I hear many Thais say “kue kue” when they talk. What does it mean?
Make more videos with foreigners. We can learn from them. Thank you so much
I tried comprehensible Thai for a couple minutes and got bored. I think it is a good method for people already know some Thai, not absolute beginner like myself. You can’t learn swim when you are drowning 😂
It's a slog at the beginning, not going to lie. Took me forever to get through the first ten hours. But it gets easier and easier after that. I also started as an absolute beginner. Comprehensible input becomes more and more enjoyable and compelling the more time you put into it.
@@MikePlus I am a Chinese living in Australia. I came with some basic English 6 years ago and I started reading and listening and now I work as a qualified social worker,however, many Chinese living in Australia speak no English at all, they are living in an environment where English is everywhere but they still can’t speak much after so many years because they don’t know the basic. Can you please let me know what you listened for your Thai study and I will listen one hour a day till 14 July ( my next trip to Thailand) and test if it is working?
@@user-pf2ll4ck7f I just used the Comprehensible Thai channel, starting with the Absolute Beginner series.
@@MikePlus Thanks mate, will definitely give it a crack
@@user-pf2ll4ck7f It will actually be easier for you than Mike, as Thai is easier for Chinese speakers than English speakers. My son and I are doing Spanish via Pablo's Dreaming Spanish, and we also felt a bit lost at first. Unfortunately at the current point this initial shock has not been overcome in the method, and in fact many people currently assume it is inevitable with this method. I think with further research and effort in making intro materials, there should be a way to decrease that initial vertigo greatly, but even so as it is now the method works as long as you can be patient and get through that initial feeling. And really, that initial feeling doesn't last that long really.
About the crosstalk method, I want to provide my input on this.
It does help if you listen to other people speak in the language that you are learning. I already have basics in Malay, Mandarin & Cantonese and they do improve when I am exposed to people who spoke those languages. But so far, this method has worked for me only for languages that I already have some basics in. I have not tried this method with a completely new language like Thai in which I know almost nothing about.
It is nice to see your boyfriend Pablo Kru Smuk. :)
Donot like to speak Thai.
I am getting your advertisement like everyday now. Good on you. i didn't know that you had this channel with so many videos.
What I am hear for: You need to clean up that ad. The English in the ad is wrong, and you should do something about that: Overdub or something. I get it, it is recorded in the moment and it is more about your friendly, bubbly personality, but I hear the errors and it bugged me so much that I discovered your channel. Yes, I discovered your channel but for the wrong reasons. How to overdub: Simulate the mic position, extract the audio track, get into the mood for recording, record the words with the wrong "s" sounds, record the words with the missing "s" sounds, fix the audio with audacity and your ad is so much better than before - please.
Entitlement at its finest. 😆
This man is not an average language learner. He is financially privileged to travel to different countries to learn the target language.
Not necessarily. Many schools, colleges and universities have exchange programs where you can go to a school or university in a foreign country for a half year or more. And some trades can be applied in multiple countries or allow for full-time remote work, maybe as a freelancer. So, you could move to another country and work there while learning the language.
His own website for learning spanish is free, stop whining
Perhaps? His speaking ability isn't particularly impressive given his circumstances (6 years studying, 3 years living in Thailand, and girlfriend/wife is Thai). The point was more so to highlight his method.
@@paulewannacrackrcan you speak any better, probably not.jealously won’t get you very far.
@@captainpugwash2317 Nope, give me six years and definitely, but that's besides the point. I was challenging OP's claim that he is not an "average" learner. He falls somewhere between B1-B2. That's average at best.
He said when he first went to Japan after only studying Japanese for 6 months in Spain he could understand 40% I some how don't believe him!!!
16 hours a day though
@glenloader639 - if you studied 16 hours per day for 6 months, you should be fluent!! 16 hours is your awake time because you sleep 8 hours a day.
@@kevinp8108 I hardly think he was studying 1 subject for 16 hrs a day. The average person has a hard time studying one thing for 8 hrs a day let alone 16 hrs! His Thai is OK but concidering he lives in Thailand I would say he isn't FLUENT!! Which I can tell by the way he makes and puts sentences together. So judging by the way he speaks Thai and concidering he lives in Thailand, I bet he wasn't FLUENT in Japanese after studying 16 hrs a day in Spain.
@glenloader639- I am Thai-American who is fluent in English and Thai, and his Thai skills are at the intermediate level. I actually found Pablo about two years ago when I wanted to brush up on my high school Spanish. I was very surprised that he knows how to speak Thai at all after watching his channel for over two years! Now, I am about 75% fluent in Latin-American Spanish. He speaks Spain-Spanish but it's not too different than Latin Spanish.
@@kevinp8108 Yes, agreed. It makes sense given he did 1,200 hours at AUA. Near-native level would require more like 3,000 hours.
If you take the numbers from Pablo's Spanish roadmap (for a native speaker of a European language) and multiply by 2, you get was is required for Thai (for a native speaker of a European language):
