بريد الجمعة لعبد الوهاب مطاوع : مشكلة النكد في الحياة الزوجية

A smile, a “hello” and a “how are you” will make an immediate
positive impression. Thailand is known as the Land of Smiles, and
you will soon be saying “hello” and smiling with more people than
you can remember.
TOP TIP: When referring to the self in Thai, as in “I”, there is a
form for male and a form for female, just as there is with khrup and
ka. Men say “Phom”, and women say “Chan”, or “Di-chan” when
speaking very politely.
There are also forms where age is concerned. When speaking to
an elder, you should refer to that person as “Pii”. To get the
attention of an elder you would say, “Pii khrup/ka”. To get the
attention of a younger person you would say, “Nong khrup/ka”.
When referring to a child you can use the word “Luuk”, which
literally means child. 


Thai for Everyone with Kru Robert

Ep 1 Saying Hello in Thai 5 words

I invite you to tune in to hear the rest of my conversation with Listening Expert Cara Leopold with Leo Listening. This time, we talk about how to get used to different accents and speaking speeds and motivate yourself to learn a language for work or school even if you don't want to. You'll also learn what to do if your language learning has stalled, bad habits language learners pick up when learning a language in a traditional classroom setting, reductions and linking, and how to improve your English skills by joining a movie club. Here are a couple of excerpts from our conversation: "The irony is that it's usually the words that you already know that cause the most problems." "People resent it (the English language), and I understand that because it's imposed on a lot of people, and obviously, we can't expect everyone to be excited about learning it. So I totally understand those feelings, which are valid. I think then, if you can't get excited about English, what can you get excited about? What interests you, in general?"

Listening Expert Shares How to Understand More of the English Language

Welcome to learn easy Thai with Kru sumon.  

Today we will learn how to speak Thai from a short conversation during a phone call.  This is a conversation between A and B. 

A : สวัสดีค่ะ  ขอสาย คุณแมรี่ ค่ะ
(sa-wad-dee kha , khor saai khun Mary kha)

B: รอซักครุ่ค่ะ ... ขอโทษนะคะ คุณแมรี่ ไม่อยุ่ค่ะ ให้โทรกลับมั้ยคะ
(ror sak khroo kha.  Khor tote na kha. Khun Mary mai yoo kha. Hai toe glap mai kha?)

A: ไม่เป็นไรค่ะ เดี๋ยวโทรมาใหม่
(mai bpen rai kha.  Diao toe maa mai)

This is a situation where A made a phone call and B picked up the phone. A is asking for Mary.
B. told A to wait and then inform that Mary is not in. 
B asked if A want Mary to call her back.
A said No.

From this conversation , we learn that :

When you make a phone call , and ask for some one. You will say
ขอสาย ...................  (khor saai ……………)
followed by the name of person

or you also can add one more word here 
ขอสาย .................. หน่อย  (khor saai……….. noi)
put Noi at the end to soften the sentence.


when you want someone to wait, you will say
รอซักครู่  (ror sak kroo)
= wait a moment , please

When you want to say “Sorry”, you will say
ขอโทษ  (khor tote)  = sorry

When you want to ask if the listener want the person to call him or her back, you will say
ให้โทรกลับมั้ย (hai toe glab mai?)  = Do you want (the person) to call you back?

If you want to refuse this question, you will say
ไม่เป็นไร  
Actually ไม่เป็นไร means , that’s fine. It doesn’t matter. I am ok.

When you want to say I will call back later, you will say
เดี๋ยวโทรกลับมาใหม่  (diao toe glab maa mai) = I will call back later.

EP1 : Phone call : She's not in.

大家晚上好啊，我是丹霞。您现在收听的是中文台词频道，今天的台词出自电影《七月与安生》，由周冬雨和马思纯主演。

        “十三岁到十五岁，是七月和安生形影不离的三年。 有时候七月是安生的影子，有时候安生是七月的影子。她们在书里读到：如果踩住一个人的影子，那个人一辈子不会离开。但是安生说一辈子太长了，她只想活到二十七岁。

        初中毕业，七月考上了最好的高中，安生进了职业学校。用安生的话说，熬了九年终于考进了一所 不需要交作文、没有操行评分的学校，正和她的胃口。”

                                                                                                           ——电影《七月与安生》/<Soulmate>                 

形影不离Xíng yǐng bù lí always together; be after each other like shadows
影子 yǐngzi shadow
踩住 cǎi zhù keep the feet upon; step on
一辈子 yībèizi  all one's life; throughout one's life
职业学校 zhíyè xuéxiào vocational school
熬 áo  to endure
操行 cāoxíng  behavior or conduct of a student
评分 píng fēn  grade; score
合胃口 hé wèi kǒu  be to one's taste


"From 13 to 15 years old, Qiyue and Ansheng have been always together for three years. Sometimes Qiyue is the shadow of Ansheng, and sometimes Ansheng is the shadow of Qiyue. They read in the book: if you keep stepping on a someone's shadow, that person will never leave. But Ansheng said that a whole lifetime is too long, and she only wants to live up to 27.

After graduating from junior high school, Qiyue was admitted to the best high school, and Ansheng entered a vocational school. In Ansheng's words, after nine years hard life, she finally got into a school that doesn't need to hand in a composition and doesn't have a code of conduct. It was just to her taste. "

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日のPodcastは、物を捨てるのが大変、について話します。



ぼくは今、北海道から引っ越すための準備をしています。
もともと、できるだけ物を少なくして生活していましたが、それでも、引越の時には、持ち物が多いことに気づきます。


国によって違うと思いますが、日本では、ゴミの分別がとても細かいです。地域にもよります。

燃えるゴミ
燃えないゴミ
プラスチック
ペットボトル
缶
ビン
金属
大型ゴミ
生活家電

などに分けて出します。

それぞれのゴミを出せる日は違いますし、入れる袋も決まっています。その袋はコンビニやスーパーで買う必要があります。

例えば、今住んでいるところでは、
燃えるゴミは月曜と木曜
資源ゴミは火曜
燃えないゴミは水曜
などと決まっています。

決まった曜日に、決まった袋に入れてゴミ捨て場に置かないと、ゴミ回収の人は持っていってくれません。


それから、家電4種類はお金を払って回収してもらいます。
テレビ
冷蔵庫
洗濯機
エアコン

新しく買い替える時も同じようにお金を払わないといけません。


日常のゴミを分けるのも大変ですが、引越の時に物を捨てるときはもっと大変です。

特に大きいものが大変です。
今回の引越では荷物をほとんどゼロにしたいと考えていました。


それで、今回ははじめて、リサイクルショップに回収をお願いしました。2つの会社に依頼して、たくさんの持ち物を持っていってもらいました。

リサイクルショップの人に家に来てもらって、大きな物、例えば洗濯機などを買ってくれましたし店に直接持っていって、たくさん買ってもらうこともできました。


金額は決して大きくないですが、それでもただ捨てるのではなく、誰かに使ってもらえるんだと思うと、いいサービスだなと思いました。

もしこれから日本に住む予定のある人は、ぜひリサイクルショップを見つけて行ってみてください。いろんなものが安い値段で見つかると思いますよ。

また、これから日本の中で引越をする予定で、捨てる物をどうしようか考えている人は、ぜひ近くのリサイクルショップを見つけて行ってみてください。いろいろ見つかると思いますよ！


みなさんの国では、ゴミの分別、ぶんべつ、はどうですか？
簡単ですか？
むずかしいですか？

このようなトピックについて話したい！と思った方はぜひぼくのオンラインレッスンで話しましょう！

italkiで予約してくださいね！お待ちしています。

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
