I love it when languages smash old words together to make new ones. It's always the best thing ever. like in Mandrin, chick is 小鸡 (small chicken), family is 家人 (home people), telephone is 电话 (electricity words), and bread is 面包 (flour bag). Look me dead in my eyes and tell me this is not the most delightful thing ever.

Can you please share some of your resources for learning thai? I really want to start but can't seem to find anything reliable. Thanks🤗

Hi! For sure I can :D Studying Thai is not a priority for me at the moment, but I do keep up with it in the background. The book i'm using is Thai for Beginners by Benjawan Poomsan Becker. It also has a CD but I bought the book without CD. All of the audio on the CD is also conveniently on Spotify!

For online resources I really only use ThaiPod101. They have a great course on learning the alphabet that has helped immensely. On the website it is a monthly subscription but they also have loads of free content (on the site and on YouTube)!

For listening practice I watch Thai series and movies as well as listening to a lot of Thai music. (this is my Thai playlist on Spotify if you're interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1aX2i2itjyoMZeoWP1bD3Q?si=065ac863a05245cb )

And that's pretty much it right now. Please don't hesitate to ask any other questions. I'm sorry for the slow response in advance. I'm not great at keeping up with Social media...

I've been trying to study Chinese more consistently to actually (hopefully) improve. I'm almost done with the HSK1 book and then I'm moving on to HSK2. I hope your studying is going well! I'll try to post more consistently from now on and not disappear for months at a time :D
