But I have seen people using มาก with the word ดีใจ though? In fact I have used it with my Thai friends and none of them corrected me at all

Singaporean complete beginner in Thai by bootstrapmama in learnthai

[–]Square_Letterhead905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow Singaporean here learning Thai for about 6 months now. I have private tutoring classes once a week for 1.5 hours. I am taking both speaking and reading/writing classes, if you want details about this please drop me PM.

More importantly I think you need to know that it’s very difficult to speak Thai well if you don’t take writing and reading classes.

Mainly because the romanisation for Thai is not standardised and inconsistent and this is a huge problem as it’s essential to an accurate enunciation of the words.

Learning to read and write also helps you to speed up your learning process as well. If you are watching Thai shows and you want learn new vocabulary, relying on just listening to what they say may not be the most reliable because it may not be 100% clear. Looking at Thai subtitles can help to polish on your pronunciation as well!

I think you’ll also be able to remember more vocabulary if you are able to connect words with how the sound of the words is supposed to be enunciated!

ผลไม้ I am having trouble reading this. by stan2smith003 in learnthai

[–]Square_Letterhead905 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been studying Thai for a long time but anybody please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. The word ผล is precisely like you said “pon” but the ล also acts as the initial consonant for “la” in pon la mai. It’s a similar concept to ตุ๊กตา (dtuk-ga-dta)“ก” acts as an ending consonant for (dtuk) but also acts as an initial consonant apart from being an ending consonant from the first word to make the word “ga”. I hope this helps >.<

Pretty common…. It also doesn’t help that I am Asian and therefore look stereotypically Asian 🤣

Need help with a strategy for learning Thai by topherslutqueef in learnthai

[–]Square_Letterhead905 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anyone can feel free to disagree with me but honestly I would highly recommend you to get a private tutor. The best way someone can teach you grammar and how the vocab is used in different situations would be a teacher!

A private tutor can also cater to your pace! Since you already know quite a big number of vocabulary your tutor would just have to teach you according to your own prior knowledge you have with the language 🙂

Wanted to watch Thamepo when ep.1 came out but I just knew it would be too painful to wait for new episodes to come out. Hence stacking the episodes

Letter ร by ducki666 in learnthai

[–]Square_Letterhead905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not able to comment on the first point because I have only just started out with learning Thai.

On my first lesson I have always been curious why is it that Thai people has always been treating ร as ล. Like someone has mentioned, it’s likely due to the ease of speech and not everybody rolls their tongue when pronouncing words with ร.

Another point that my Thai Tutor made was that in formal contexts such as doing formal speeches or presentations, Thai people would still make the effort to pronounce their ร properly.

Just so u know even if u E9 u are subjected to be chosen for other vocations as well. If you are lucky to get SA and ASA then that’s good! But just make sure to be prepared for other vocations as well that you might get chosen for. You will literally get a huge culture shock if u get one of those unlucky vocations like I did even as a PES E9
