Just started visiting Thailand on a regular basis and have a number of Thai friends. Decided it is time I made an effort to speak the language. At 70 years of age I thought I was too old. Your video was so helpful on the start of my journey. Thank you very much.
I'm 73 & been visiting for 28 yrs & never really found it necessary to learn the language, you'll soon forget it if you don't use it & English is spoken by most Thai's in the tourist destinations.

Definitely not perfect. Im just 2 minutes in and ive heard heard make several mistakes. She also still has a Thai accent, just not as strong as some other people.
I would love to hear your accent and how speak in not your native tongue/language…. Why compliment than go rude ?! Her English is very good! And she’s beautiful!! I’m going to keep listening because she’s so nice to look at while learning ;) Visiting Thailand beginning of December and excited for the new experiences ❤️🙏🏽🍀
Different because it uses gender from the speaker point of view. Unlike English where you end sentences with the gender of the person being spoken to . But at least it's not French.
Thank you Mod! Your lessons helped me navigate through my trip to Thailand and folks seemed to really appreciate the effort to speak their language. Now I want to keep learn Thai for fun!
I like the way teachers Mod and Pear always explain what each Thai word or group of words mean in English. It has helped me to understand when I listen to them do roll play with other Thai people for listening skills. Thank you both!
Through watching Thai 🇹🇭 BL dramas, I’ve fallen in love with the language, the people & the country. Too old to visit so I’ve decided to learn some of the phrases for fun.👍😉❤️🇬🇧
Really? What's too old to visit? Or is is just a mobility issue? If you're just "too old to visit" in your head but could make it happen......you should. Can't take the money with ya :)
This is the first time I browsed Thai Video Tutorial (online) and I feel like at home while my mom is teaching me! Your English Grammar and pronunciation is so amazing and very easy to understand. Btw, I'm a Filipino currently here at Ratsada until January 6, 2023 trying my luck in finding a job here in Thailand. Hope someone can help me about this. Thank you!
Thank you so much love, this really helped me a lot. As a beginner this was all i Need to start my thai learning journey😌 sawatdii kha from India🇮🇳 ❤🇹🇭

Thank you! I've had some basics from (a quick reading of) a book and (hours of) Thai series, but so far your video is the best I've seen: good choice of basic vocabulary, very well explained and thank you for writing it also in Thai, it's really needed to learn it! Thank you again 😊 Sà-wàt-dii-kâ from France! 🙏🇨🇵

Thank you for my first lesson in Thai language. I don't need to learn the entire language. I want to learn a few key phrases before I go to Thailand in a month so I know a few words. Kawp Kun Ka!
I live in the U.S. and visiting Bangkok, Thailand in May 2025, and I need to know some words and phrases, maybe sentences. I hope some locals can also speak English. I've been to many countries around the world and there are at least few locals who are English speakers, especially when you eat in their restaurants. I'm keeping notes probably writing these 20 phrases in a small notepad to bring with me when I visit Thailand.
Just found this and it's excellent. I'm in a Thai school right now but these phrases are straight conversational and we haven't covered some of them yet. Thanks !! ขอบคุณครับ !
Sawatdii ka Khun Mal, I am happy to hear that you found our lessons useful in your Thai learning. Hope you continue to follow our channel to learn more Thai. :)
You have an excellent way of teaching 😉🙂. Good pedagogy!! I really find the pronunciation of the letter r very similar to the r of the Spanish language. And I have to say that the Thai writing system is super beautiful.
😢 i find it hard to pronounce because the languages i learned before dont have any trouble with “r” sound, like french, chinese 😢 or korean. That s why i hesitate to learn spanish, indonesia and thai
Professor Pear likes it very much as you teach, her pronunciation is very clear for foreigners to learn. I do not have these economic conditions to be able to enroll, but I am always watching your videos on youtube and trying to learn more every day.
I am going in April to Bangkok on business and after some sight seeing. I want to be able to respectfully speak basic Thai to Thai business associates there and also as travel. Hopefully, in January I will take your group class with some basic phrases.
Thank you for your easy to understand explanations and clear pronunciations. These are very useful phrases for beginners. I will be reviewing these every day until they become second nature. I look forward to viewing more of your videos. :D ขอบคุณครับ
Sabaidi krap, Mod. I have to learn Thai language by heart for my Thai boyfriend whom I give English lessons with the American and British accents (which I upload on my TH-cam channel every week). I start following your lessons. You share very interesting topics. All the best for your channel.
Thank you Mod, your English is flawless without any Thai nor American accent, sounds very English, and your pronunciation and the written words on the screen helps a lot. May I ask whether your parents sent you to an English school too?
laos and thailand are sister countries, theyre nearly identical. source ? im thai with lao friends and we can speak seperate languages but still understand
Do we use Krap/ Ka after the sentence/question when we are addressing either male or female?? Or do we use the gendered endings as if WE are speaking Like me , as a female, would I end every sentence with Ka? Or do I change the ending depending on who I am speaking to? Thank u for uploading!
i should be studying korean rn but learning the basics of thai won’t hurt 👀
Omg me too HAHAHA
@Lucky Lucky im a Chineses,im also learning Korea and Thai，，，哈哈哈哈哈

Her english is so good. It keeps sounding look she is about to say something with an accent and then she brings it back to perfect english.
Definitely not perfect. Im just 2 minutes in and ive heard heard make several mistakes. She also still has a Thai accent, just not as strong as some other people.
Her English is very good, but there are definitely some minor mistakes that stand out to a native speaker
@jonathandb91 Im not a native speaker and i can still hear the mistakes and the accent.
I would love to hear your accent and how speak in not your native tongue/language…. Why compliment than go rude ?!
Her English is very good!
And she’s beautiful!!
I’m going to keep listening because she’s so nice to look at while learning ;)
Visiting Thailand beginning of December and excited for the new experiences ❤️🙏🏽🍀
Damn, it’s hard enough learning a new language but now I need to learn male and female languages 😂

Thanks to your excellent teaching skills, the locals were blown away by my few little phrases. Thank you for the lessons! They were a tremendous help.
I have a Thai restaurant as one of my customers and this is making our relationship so much closer! I can’t thank you enough!
I am korean.living in seoul. I am studying thai language. But It's very hard language to me. But anyday I wanna speak thai language smoothly. 😊🇰🇷🇹🇭
It's been a year since you commented this, have you learnt it yet?
How is your Thai recently ? Can you speak?
I like the way teachers Mod and Pear always explain what each Thai word or group of words mean in English. It has helped me to understand when I listen to them do roll play with other Thai people for listening skills. Thank you both!

Wow so similar to the Lao language great video thank you!
laos and thailand are sister countries, theyre nearly identical. source ? im thai with lao friends and we can speak seperate languages but still understand
Easy to learn lessons
Very good teacher , kawp khun krap
ขอบคุณนะ
ยินดีค่ะ :)
I love Thailand and Thai people I wanna make friends so and I am here now!! ❤️❤️
Good teaching!
Thank you kha
Thank you for learning Thai from our lesson. :)
Your video's are really helpful
🙏 I hope to continue studying more advanced Thai this summer 🎉
Do we use Krap/ Ka after the sentence/question when we are addressing either male or female?? Or do we use the gendered endings as if WE are speaking
Like me , as a female, would I end every sentence with Ka? Or do I change the ending depending on who I am speaking to?
Thank u for uploading!
I am studying Japanese and this vid gave me confidence to stay there...
😆
Your video is good. The problem is that you didn't analyse the structure of the sentences.
Because mostly they are phrases, not sentence. Like idiom/ phrases in English.
Thank you for this lesson.
