As a beginner, I find learning the names of fruits and vegetables is helpful because the English names sound like foreign words. Think of "pomelo" vs "som-oh".
I echo your thoughts on getting away from transliteration as quickly as possible. A good example would be place names. Thai pronunciation is often nothing like the written form as it is laid out for foreigners to read. By the way, are there any Christian book shops in Thailand? I live near Ayutthaya and haven't been able to track one down. I prefer physical stores to online shopping.

Hi Wilson.
Radiant Book Centre in Bangkok probably has the best selection of Christian books in Thailand that I know of. shop.radiantbookcentre.com
@@davevoetberg Thank so much for your help. I'll have to make a special journey down there some time.
