'yu', as well as the 'oe' when you have a double OO. Unfortunately, there are no rules, but at least you'll know how to pronounce the letter U. You almost never pronounce the letter U as an 'oe' sound, like you find in other languages. Here's your 60 seconds.

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.

오랜만이에요, 여러분. 잘 지냈어요?
저는 요즘 매일 바쁜 하루를 보내고 있어요. 
그래서 우울할 때도 많았는데 지난 주에 한 유튜브 영상을 봤어요.
긍정적인 마음을 가져야 한다는 내용이었어요.

It's been a while, everyone! How have you been?
I've been so busy lately. So sometimes I felt blue but then I came across this video on Youtube.
It was about having a positive mind.

The name “Confucius” might seem distant and boring. But Confucianism is integrated into the daily life of Chinese people. Have you ever thought that he Confucius was also a child who was confused, full of dreams and undisciplined like us? In this episode, let's start with Confucius and see who he is
孔子，好像是一个遥远而无聊的名词，又好像融入在中国人日常生活的点点滴滴。你可曾想过，他也是一个曾和我们一样，有着迷茫和困惑、梦想和不甘的有血有肉的孩子呢，这一期，让我们从孔子开始，看看他是谁

““My Success Story” Confidence Building Exercise. Episode 401.

For my students – entrepreneurs and C-level managers – a lack of confidence isn’t solely about grammar; it’s often rooted in perception and the perceived risks associated with speaking English.

When I talk about risk, I’m referring to the fear of making mistakes, the fear of being judged, the fear of rejection, or of being looked down upon. Does that resonate with your experience?

If so, keep reading, I understand where you’re coming from.

Miscommunication can be particularly challenging for high achievers. The fear of failing to secure a deal, of giving the wrong impression, or of appearing incompetent – these are common thought patterns for many language learners.

But you are not like that. You’ve had past successes, you have victories, you’ve achieved significant heights before, correct?

Then why do you allow these destructive thoughts to take hold and undermine your confidence each day?

Ultimately, you are responsible for both your successes and your setbacks.

Now, let’s move into the exercise. My voice will be calm and soothing, guiding you towards a more relaxed, ‘alpha-level’ state.

From this state, you will be able to re-evaluate your situation from a new perspective, and more importantly… enjoy the process!

I look forward to seeing you in my 1-1 VIP coaching classes.

To Your Success, Anatoly”
