Blog#2: About Thailand (Mamiko)

  Lately I have been studying Thai. Because I am going to go to Thailand next year. The language used in Thailand is not English. Thai is this. It looks difficult, doesn't it? Surely we don't have any chance to see it in Japan. So I can't read it well yet. But the grammer is like English. I think its grammer is simpler than English. Pronunciation is complicating. Some words have several meanings like Chinese. Japanese have few words like that. So when I study Thai, letters and pronunciation are important.
  This is first time to learn other language except English for me. And I don't know how to study. Now I'm using a text book with CD. Once a week a thai friend teaches me thai. I need to study hard. If you have some advice to learn other language, please tell me!
  Finally, this picture was taken at the river kwai where has relationship with Japan. If you want to know in detail, check the movie "The bridge on the river kwai". I'm sorry I haven't watched it yet. I will try soon also!

    1. Thank you for a comment! Did you mean how I can read Thai letters? I can't read all sentences yet. I want to be so as soon as possible. Actually, Thai sentences have words without spaces like Japanese sentences. So Thai is difficult to read. But when I understand a sentence, I feel very happy.

  2.  Hi, i'm shinji.
    I think it important that you study hard English. I want to be able to speak another language and think men who can speak another language are so cool.

  3. Hi, this is Ms. MacGregor. Are there any Thai lessons on Youtube? They might be a good study resource. I would like to hear you speak Thai. Please say a simple sentence in Thai next time!

    1. Thank you for your comment! I could find Thai dramas on Youtube. They will be useful. Thank you for nice advice. And all I can say in Thai is "I am a Japanese." After I study more, I will say something in Thai. I should keep trying hard!
