khunsanuk Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hi, "aw bia yen sam khuat si!" aw = want bia = beer yen = cold sam = three (although I would write it 'saam') khuat = bottle si = a word to add emphasize Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalo_bill Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 ND , my today's lesson did indeed introduce the important word " towel " . I am closing in . And if finally taao-bplaao ( barefoot ) can also be used for bareback I could almost start a conversation at the next cocktail party .

Is that "come" as in "come over here my darling" or as in "sorry my darling, but I didn't intend to come in your mouth"? :hubba: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HonoluluJimmy Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I have the Berlitz program on my MP3 player but find the phrases too detailed and not enought focus on words. Sice the Thai grammar is "run amuck" sort of I find that my learning lots of words and using pidgen thai works fine. Shite, how many of us are in an enviro that is other that "get money from the farang". I do learn alot whilst on my month in Los month out of Los. I have printed out the www.learning.com info. One thing that is very helpful for us punters is how to pronounce words when heard or even seen written in English. the above is also online in an audio format wich is helpful for those not aflicted with the need to be in country!

Guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Well pooling knowledge is a good thing...i can understand Thai sometimes well, sometimes not at all....i struggle with the intonation....but then doesn't everyone? Maybe some of the experts here could start a daily post? A phrase a day?? Or even 'phrase of the day'...? After several weeks/months that would be a lot!! I'd be happy to chip i what i can...
