Explaining the Thai alphabet I've been wanting to learn Thai for a while but can only do so online. I've search for a while but no where does anyone attempt to explain how the thai alphabet works. From what I understand you have unaspirated vowels and aspirated vowels and they have different characters? I also read somewhere that when writing, you have to put the vowel untop of the consonant? I can't learn something I don't even understand. Can someone please explain to me? And anything that I did not mention. 谢谢！

Simplified and Traditional I want to learn both simplified and traditional characters. But all of my resources only teach simplified characters. Is there any site or the like where I can match of simplified characters with traditional characters and learn them? 谢谢！

Greetings in China (verification) I'm trying to learn some basic Chinese online but I don't trust the internet due to a previous incident where I was taught the wrong thing and looked stupid <.< Anyway, on one site it says that "早上好" means good morning and another says 早晨好 means good morning. Do the both of them mean good morning? And can someone please verify the authenticity of the vocabulary on these two sites for me please. Thanks much :) http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Chinese_(Mandarin)/Greetings http://www.chinese-tools.com/phrasebook/01-greetings.html

Translate the phrases "We play golf on the moon" and "I mustache you a question" to french please? Yes "mustache" is no typo lol Thanks in advance!

Do married women adopt their husband's family name? This is something I've noticed in dramas. Unlike the west, when married women are addressed by their full name, the family name used is different from their husband's family name.I should also ask this now. How do you know when to use ㅐand ㅔ?

Korean Honorifics Just introduced myself to Korean honorifics. When I watch dramas I usually hear them add something like "ya" to the names. In High Kick Through the Roof, one of the characters is named Shin Ae. Her friend about her age, calls her Shin Ae but her older sister and other people add the "ya" to the end. I deduced that this "ya" sound was Yang honorific which is used on unmarried female minors. But I got kind of confused because in Unstoppable High Kick, this guy's father also adds this "ya" sound to his name when he is a married middle-aged guy. Can someone clear this up for my please?

When to use "No" and "Yes" I'm really confused as to when to use "Yes" and "No". For questions like: "Are you cold?" "Yes", would mean you are cold whereas "No" would mean you are not cold. But when my grandma says something like, "Do not feed the chickens this." I would either say, "Yes.", meaning yes, I understand. Or I would more likely say "No", meaning No, I won't. And would usually get corrected. Can anyone explain to me? ;x
