Thai Tea La Nid - EP.2 - Thai People Like to Shorten Words?! 

Hello guys! Welcome back to the episode 2 of Thai Tea La Nid Podcast.

Today, we're going to talk about how Thai people really speak in daily life. 

Well, have you ever had a problem understanding Thai people speak? 

Hmm, it just doesn't sound like what you have learned from the textbook, right? 

I think one of the reasons might be because we always shorten words and we always skip the subject. 

OK, for example, how to ask what are you doing in Thai? 

From the textbook, you might say “kun gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká”. I'll make it more natural. “kun gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká”. 

Which is too formal and kind of too long because that's like six words or eight syllables. 

Okay, so let's start by skipping the subject first. 

From “kun gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká”, we can say “gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká”.

Ok now, let's shorten the words. You can say “tam à-rai yòo ká” or “tam rai ká”. 

That's the shortest version. 

Ok, let's practice again from like the full version to the shortest version, ok? 

“kun gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká” 

“gam-lang tam à-rai yòo ká” 

“tam à-rai yòo ká”, and 

“tam rai ká”. 

Ok, so now you can understand more Thai and I hope you enjoyed this episode of Thai Tea La Nid. 

See you again next time. Bye bye.

Quienes tenemos relación con los idiomas sabemos que el aprendizaje de estos está constituido por todo un engranaje de procesos y habilidades y se consolida con la práctica verbal que, desde mi experiencia, es el último eslabón, es decir, hay un orden más o menos natural. A continuación, conozcamos los diferentes tipos de grupos que pueden existir y los beneficios que pueden proporcionar cuando aprendemos un idioma, en nuestro caso: español. Centrándonos, al final, en un asunto que me apasiona particularmente: los clubes de lectura.

Meet the real man behind the name — Neil McTaggart.

In this video, I share the true-life background of Neil McTaggart, a young man from Scotland who emigrated to Canada in the 1920s. He is the inspiration behind my serialized audio book, and this clip gives you the historical and personal context behind the fiction.

🪨 From the stone he carried in his pocket to the life he built abroad, Neil’s journey is one of survuval and change.

📚 About the Series

My serialized book, based on Neil's life, blends historical fact with fictional storytelling. This video sets the scene and introduces you to the real person whose life sparked the story.
