I have had a few people asking about learning Thai with Kru Nguan. For anyone interested this is a link to her site ➡️ thaikids-sydney.business.site
Alternatively, start your language learning journey today with Ling App:

thai = great massages
Question paddy, the site is a Thai kids academy. Is there no adult option?
‘ Jamaaa hi! I’m pretty sure it is just called that but there is definitely some options for Adults. I’m not 100% sure to be honest but it might be worth looking into it. When I briefly spoke to Kru Nguan it seemed as though there is a fair bit of flexibility. Regards
You beautiful human.

as an asian in america, i tried to get reaction from the locals by speaking perfect english but nobody gave a damn.
@s n chinese mandarin is the most spoken language in the entirety of earth.
If you happened to be in an Asian country and spoke perfect English to an American foreigner, though, it might get noticed more. That's essentially what's happening here.
Ryan Stanton it depends on how you say it and who to.
anonym very true
jmb Good one! What you said is both hilarious and a very deep social comment. Would watch if you did a vid on this..
People who don’t speak Thai won’t understand how good this guy actually is because Thai words are so hard to perfect the pronunciation and this guy even knows the Thai sense of humor, slang, and everything.
I bet he had many nuat naab in Chiang Mai!
I think Romance languages compared to Asian languages are hard because they’re so different. Lots of Asian languages have tones and some sounds were not used to making and vice versa. There’s a lot of sounds in English they can’t make at first. It just takes a lot of practice and patience
I'm learning thai right now, and it was really hard at first to speak the right tone 😅
Yeah, he is good! I spent a year there including a lot of time in situations with barely any other English speakers ans I learnt a fraction of his vocabulary!
I’m here in Thailand for 3years already and still struggling with “near-far”
You never know the joy of a person when someone speaks to them in their own language. It’s wholesome.
Except English😂
@@fahmiparap776 exactly😂😂
Everyone around here speak my language... So it's not really much of an event when they do.
Except Spanish as well
Being talked to in your own language is literally most human interactions lol. But I know what you mean
As someone who speaks only English I actually feel guilty. Guilty because the reactions and shock shown on the faces when an English speaker speaks someone else language in comparison to how we take it for granted that people should speak English. Anyone who speaks English as a 2nd language deserves so much more respect ✊🏼
For sure. Now, go learn...............!
don't feel too bad. learning a new language takes an insane amount of time and dedication; time you could easily use for other hobbies or interests
@@elsnowman123 True. But I consider it disrespectful to visit a country without learning at least the essential phrases in their language. But then I always want to learn more... Yeah, I could go crazy-golfing or run a few miles.. But the reward wouldn't come close to the satisfaction of being able to buy local produce at a local store, in the region's own language.
@@mehitabel1290 I would agree but there is simply not enough time to learn languages for every country you visit. I’ve been learning mandarin for the last half year and understanding how much work it is to learn a language, I would get mad at people not learning a language before visiting a place. I totally agree with you though that being able to speak the language of a place you travel is very satisfying
Try learning spanish
yeah yeah you were watching xiaoma and the algorithm brought you here

@@VERCENDARK you have a valid point. It's like mocking their english skills.
@@VERCENDARK We choose to see what we wish. I'm sorry you chose to spin this in such a negative manner.
@@VERCENDARK No, you really are being negative while under the guise of being empathetic. The things you said are a story you're forming in your own head. This is the kind of behaviour that come from people being insulted on someone's behalf when the individual wasn't insulted in the first place. The mentality you have of the people pretending not to know English is the American, "if you live in America then know English or gtfo." Your comments aren't helping anyone, and the only continuous attention they're getting is from me calling you out on your narrow closed minded behavior. I hope you can see that because it seems like you have a lot of anger you're holding in, or maybe it's a personal experience that set you off in this video. At this point, you're the only person suffering from those thoughts. Do some self-reflection instead of yelling into the void that is a TH-cam's comment section. Cheers.
Okay, I am part Thai and I can’t get over how great his Thai is !! I was way too overjoyed hearing him speak in Thai, it was fabulous ✨
👍💖
Same here I’m part Thai lol
same usually thai is hard to pronounce but damnn hes great!
Same I am pad thai too
his thai is worse than mine. but it's mediocre.
Wow that first girl he talked to is so adorable!
I like how Thai people are always happy to hear farang speak Thai 😊👍😊
Lee and Rattana yeh they have a very friendly nature!! Very nice
That’s cause Farang’s have a funny accent
@@stevenray3506 Political correctness hasnt reached the non-western world yet. Its quite normal in countries like China to call anyone "foreigner". Even if you born there and speak perfect Mandarin. Its really only western "white" countries that have political correctness.
Wow wise words. I will know when I talk to my Thai friend or when I ever visit Thailand
Skrooge Lantay To clarify, i'd suggest thai people to call foreigners คนต่างชาติ (foreigners) then to call them ฝรั่ง (farang). It really depends on the subject and the conversation you're having. As for me I get called farang because im half thai half American and my friends just say that to bully me or to get on my nerves. Most of the time, thai people look at foreigners as money grabbers unless you can speak or understand thai you're basically gonna get charged more. That's the truth and it's sad. Alot of things that other people don't know that's been going on in thailand and what thai people do, for me I know almost everything because I've lived in thailand for like my whole life. I'm getting into too much detail so that's all.
Man I'm so jealous of your Thai skills!
Soi Dog Cowboy you can do it too! Everyone has to start somewhere and I ain’t special - trust me! Thanks for watching ✌️
Damn I had the same thought! 9months and speak like a pro! Im jealous too! 😥😥
Wow... I am jealous too, but içm currently learning still not giving up 😂
Yeh, he thai's his language together well.
ME TOOOOOO
He even walked up with the whole “I’m important and stupid, look at me” walk. He even did the hair comb with one hand
9 months in Chiangmai and he got this level of speaking thai? Wow. He is just amazing. I am so impressed.
I'm Thai and I'm very impressed by your Thai. It's really fascinating as well when a foreigner is interested in learning this language and I gotta say I really appreciate you for that. The video is also interesting and fun to watch!

As much as I'm impressed by his Thai (ok I'm not a Thai, but the reaction he got kinda makes me think he's good), I'm actually pretty impressed that the Thais speak good English. I've been there a decade ago and it's not easy finding Thais who could speak good English. Some of them in the video had a sort of an Australian accent, too.
They live in Australia that's why

It's so cute when foreign people try to speak Thai. I've had bad experiences with Australians in Thailand before (where they insulted locals freely because they didn't think anyone understood them. One even called me a fag right to my face thinking I didn't know what he's talking about.) but this man is different. He didn't have to learn Thai because it's such a niche language that wouldn't be useful anywhere but Thailand but he did anyway. It shows he genuinely wanted to connect with the people around him during that 6 months. It's refreshing to see native English speakers do something like this when they don't have to. I respect that a lot.

You still have some farang accent but for the most part you can speak Thai well. The best thing is that you have a good attitude and are willing to approach and speak the language boldly. You also had a respectful demeanor so people react well to that. Well done.
If you learn a second language as an adult, you will almost invariably have an accent. Your pronunciation, prosody, and rhythm can all be excellent-as his is-and allow for unambiguous communication, but a native speaker will still be able to pick out subtleties. By that, I mean things like differences in how you shape your mouth to articulate vowels and consonants, which are so subtle that they wouldn't even be possible to transcribe via IPA. That doesn't mean his study of the language is sorely incomplete or that he isn't fluent. Sure, for 2nd language learners of English, there are accent reduction courses, but this is only because English is the most widely studied language in the world... and such courses are not even really necessary as most native speakers are fairly capable of understanding a wide range of non-native accents.

This was cool! My family is from Czech Republic and when I went to visit for the first time, they asked me to say something and were kind of amazed that I "spoke without an accent"- so, like a local. I can only thank my grandmother for that as she lived with us all of my life and only spoke Czech. She made me say prayers everyday in Czech and read me bedtime stories in Czech.
Thank you for share I feel happy with it.🙏😊
It was somewhat similar for me wïth Polish. People tell me that I sound like my parents were from Poland. They're in total shock when I tell them I'm actually third generation born in the US.
I was the first great-grandchild so I just went with my grandparents everywhere. Nobody spoke English to me so I just picked it up. Grammar & pronunciation made it into my permanent memory but not vocabulary....

You make white people sound like racists when really it’s the opposite that’s true 😄 I’ve lived in Thailand and I met many who can speak Thai fluently because it’s their plan to stay there. A far cry to many of them who live in the Anglosphere while still pretending to be in Thailand
@@azzking9305 Well it's almost true tho, most expats from the West came to Asian countries mostly with limited knowledge of the country they'll be living in, expecting their clients to only speak English or work as an English teacher. I've dealt with some of my clients from the U.S and Italy and they've already living in the country I'm living in for almost 2 years yet they don't even know how to order food in restaurants.
@@azzking9305 I'm not only saying white people are racists, I'm pointing towards Westerners/People from 1st world countries, which include Whites, Blacks, Arabs, or even nth generation Asians and none of them are racists because they don't learn our language. It's almost natural that they don't invest that much time in foreign cultures so if they did it'd be really appreciated
Ridiculous comment!
@@daweigo6851 What?
Couple comments: 1) your Thai is amazing, how did you master the tonal system? 2) the school director reminded me how charming and imaginative Thai people are when it comes to making a living. I remember when I lived in Bangkok I was really blown away by all these poor people from the countryside bringing in carts full of the world's best food and selling it cheerfully on the sidewalks instead of begging. There was some talk about prohibiting that when I was there but I hope they didn't.
Hey Paddy :) I speak Korean and Japanese, and especially with Koreans in Sydney, I've always gotten an over the top reaction when they hear me speaking haha. It can make you feel a bit awkward but it was nice seeing how Thai people were surprised but also so friendly at the same time. That's what I love when I visit Thailand😊
MochinYoja hey! That is so cool that you can speak both Korean and Japanese! Very impressive. I think overall, Thai people love hearing it! I’m sure that is the same when you speak to Korean or Japanese people here - it’s a pleasant surprise for them I’m sure!

Paddy,I'm Thai,I proud to heard that you love to help Thai people and lastly I will say "Thank you so much" from Thai people.

As a person trying to tune in to the Thai language; having been here two years roughly, this video had a huge impact. It's the first time since I arrived here that I have seen a non Asian person speaking Thai well enough to be conversant, with subtitles. Subtitles generally don't hang out on the street, obviously. Also there's the replies from Thai people, which is so valuable as it trains the ear. I have to say; I had more pennies drop and connections fire, watching this, after struggling to 'tune in' to the Thai language as I mentioned before. It made me realize, I need something similar, done the opposite way around for the kids I teach. After several views my Thai is more efficiently improved than I could have hoped for!! Please do more of the same!! Brilliant!! Invaluable for foreigners learning Thai language.

Thanks for sharing man!
I love how friendly Thais are. Thailand, one of the best placed to visit too!
I once got interested in Thai language and culture thanks to some Thai drama that I have watched and fallen in love with. However, the language looked quite complex and hard but I will try to learn it when I have free time in the future. I have watched Trabab See Chompoo and I have some other Thai dramas to watch on my list, as well. I hope I can go to Thailand one day and live there for some time long enough to get to know their culture and people more. 😊
Ahh bende izledim 😄 biraz Thai anliyorum ama cok zor yaa

Your cheerfulness makes any viewer happy and motivated. I learned Japanese in 1975 for 5 weeks and still cannot speak it as fluently like you. Best wishes from Chan, Malaysia.( In 1986, I spoke Japanese while shopping at Sydney's Paddy Market and the vendor ( a Japanese) was shocked. Guess that was quite like your situation as per this video. Ha ha sabai sabai...

That is so cool Im a kiwi and I have the same experience speaking mandarin I lived in shanghai for 4 years and not a lot of english spoken so was forced to learn mandarin however I love the language and when I speak mandarin to chinese people they too are blown away as thai people at that market were when you spoke to them in Thai I think its so cool to be able to speak a second language
Thomas Davey great to have a kiwi watching! 🇳🇿 And yes, I fully agree, speaking different languages is powerful stuff!
That's very good. I'm also learning Thai, so you're an inspiration. I must practise more.
I lived in Thailand for 5 years, my Thai is about as good as his is in 9 months (and I get a lot of compliments on my Thai even at 1/7 of his learning speed haha).
Language is hard but made easier to learn by the fact that Thai people are so easy to talk to and helpful if you really want to learn. It's also hilarious fun to joke around in Thai, I think the langauge just lends itself to a kind of silly, friendly style of humour which I love.
'Do you want me to put a lid on it?' 😂Where I am that translates to 'Would you like me to stop talking now?'🤣
yes
Thier reactions really made my day
D'Nine W. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Their faces light up when he starts speaking Thai!! It’s beautiful!
It’s like when I learn new phrases in Swedish and I say them to my boyfriend (who’s Swedish) and he’s like 😱😱😱😱
I remember yesterday just saying randomly to him “Jag talar lite Svenska eftersom jag är inte från Sverige, men jag är från England därför, jag talar Engelska” and he stared at me and said “woooooooow”
I didn’t start learning Swedish until up about late July, early August this year so yeah. The first time I met his mum she said “hur mår du?” To which I replied with, “I’m good thank you” and she turned to my boyfriend and said in Swedish “WOW SHE UNDERSTOOD??!!” 😂😂
Great! Loved it. Thank you.
Even living in a remote village and immersing in Thai culture, I am amazed at the level you are at in speaking Thai.... very envious!
Language is the gateway to the world. The more I see videos like this the more I respect those who take the plunge.
Actually others will probably think he's showing off. But I don't think that's the case here. It shows respect and if you get good enough at it.
It will definitely open some doors that otherwise would be slammed shut. Totally respect this guy and it helps encourage others to continue studying.
No to mention there have been studies found those who engage in foreign languages. Have a tendency to ward off diseases like Alzheimer's.
Keeping the mind active is definitely not a bad thing here & furthermore it has its perks. Definitely wouldn't mind being in this guy's position for a day, just saying. :)
No idea if he's single, but, if the first girl was, i would have tried to get her number, she was looking good, and i love her aussie accent :P
I’ve met many Thai people and the vast majority have been so kind and nice.
Your thai language is next level mate! Perfect!!!
I just stumbled upon your channel, because I was coasting through language learning stuff. I'm half Thai half American and also fluent in Thai. Currently learning Arabic which is very deflating. You are a Rockstar for showing people this. It's spot on for cross cultural understanding. Hats off mate. ฉันมีเพื่อนหลายคนจากออสเตรเลียและพวกเขาจะประทับใจมาก. ให้พวกเขาเห็น
Hi Jontom! Thanks for the kind comment. Definitely trying my best to build cross cultural understanding and so super glad that you appreciate it! Good luck with the Arabic studies. I’m sure it will be worth it in the long run! ขอบคุณมากที่บอกเพื่อนด้วยครับ 👌🙏
