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.

Thai - Tea La Nid (ไทยทีละนิด) Podcast

Thai Tea La Nid (ไทยทีละนิด) - EP.2 - Thai People Like to Shorten Words?! (with transcript for study)

Many of us know that learning a second language isn't easy — it takes a lot of time and practice. It can be very rewarding, but also very frustrating, so many people might not even think about trying to learn a third language.

But it may not be as difficult as you think.

In fact, many polyglots — that is, people who speak many languages — say that learning a third language is actually easier than learning the second.

But why?

One reason could be that, when learning a third language, you have a better understanding of different language structures.

When we learn our first language, as children, we don't really learn how the language works — we just naturally start using it.

But when you learn a second language, you start getting used to language structures, including ones that might be different from your first language. In some languages, for example, nouns are often either masculine or feminine — while in English, there's no such difference.

Learning these things in our second language often makes it easier for our brains to recognize different structures like this in other languages.

When you learn a second language, you also develop different skills, like memorization techniques. These skills can then be used when learning your third language, making the process faster and more efficient.

Finally, learning your second language might have felt scary at first, but you did it! This may give you more confidence when learning your third language, because you have more of an idea of what to expect.

If you'd like to learn a third language, it might be helpful to choose one that's part of the same language family as one of your other languages, because the similarities could make the process a lot easier.

In this episode, a student from David's 'Movies, TV, and Podcasts' course discusses a new movie; 'Downton Abbey - The end of an era'. This quintessential English drama reveals a great deal about life in an upper-class English family. Listen as Helen tells us why she was attracted to the movie, who her favourite character is, and whether she would recommend the movie to other students of English. If you've watched the movie, please send me your comments, and let me know whether you agree with Helen's review.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。

今、ぼくはトルコにいます。
約３か月、トルコにいる予定です。

トルコで生活をはじめてから1週間が経ちました。
いろんなものを食べたので、この1週間でおいしい！と思ったものを紹介します。

それは、サバサンドです。
一般的にはサバサンドなんですが、ぼくが好きなのはサバラップです。
バゲットのようなパンではなく、薄いパン生地のようなもので巻かれたものです。サバラップ？みたいなものです。

サバは、日本人も好きな魚ですね。
もちろん、好き嫌いはあると思います。

日本だと焼き鯖や締め鯖寿司などが有名です。
個人的には、サバは好きです。健康にも良いですしね。
塩で焼いた塩サバは美味しいです。

こんな風に日本でも馴染みのあるサバが、ご飯と一緒ではないですけど、違う食べ方で楽しむことができます。


それが、サバラップ？です。トルコ語で、
バルック・ドゥルム（Balik Durum）

といいます。

このBalık Dürüm、本当においしいです。
炭火で焼いて骨をきれいに取ったサバを、トルティーヤのような生地で巻きます。

その中には、
レタス
玉ねぎ
トマト
などが入っています。

そこにチリパウダーのようなスパイスをかけ、トルコのしょうゆみたいなものをかけ、ラップにした状態でもう一度焼きます。

これをいただきます。

バケットにはさんだサバサンドはおいしくない、という情報を妻がネットから見つけていたので、このBalık Dürüm、サバラップを探して食べました。

味は少しスパイシーです。
大きなアジが半身ぐらい入っているので、結構な食べごたえと満足感があります。

日本を出て、異国の地で魚を食べられるととても嬉しいですね。知らない土地でもほっとした気持ちになります。
