Which opposite pair is the easiest for you to remember? 😊

Hello everyone 😀🇹🇭

Welcome back to The Thai Teacher Next Door!

In today's video, let's practice a simple but very useful Thai question pattern :

ชอบ-___-อะไร? (chôrb-___-à-rai?) :What do you like?

These questions can be great starting point to begin a conversation with Thai people and get to know each other better.

For example:
✈️ชอบไปที่ไหน? chôrb-pai-têe-nǎi? (Where do you like to go?)

🥇ชอบกีฬาอะไร? chôrb-gee-laa-à-rai? (What sport do you like?)

📚ชอบอ่านหนังสืออะไร? chôrb-àan-nǎng-sěu-à-rai? (What books do you like to read?)

🍜ชอบกินอาหารไทยอะไร? chôrb-gin-aa-hǎan-Thai-à-rai? (What Thai food do you like to eat?)

☀️🌧️❄️ ชอบฤดูอะไร? chôrb-réu-doo-à-rai? (What seasons do you like?)

🐰ชอบสัตว์อะไร? chôrb-sàd-à-rai? (What animals do you like?)

A simple question can lead to a meaningful conversation 😊

Remember, the best way to learn Thai is to keep practicing - listen, speak and use Thai in real life situations.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Every conversation is a step forward in your Thai journey.

Keep learning Thai naturally, one conversation at a time.

See you next time! 😎🇹🇭

🤩 Happy Friday everyone! 😎

Welcome back to our weekly Friday Quiz, where you can learn natural Thai through simple, fun questions.

Today's question from the video is :

💬 kun-chôrb-sěe-à-rai? คุณชอบสีอะไร?

Take a moment to listen, repeat, and think about your answer. 😊

🇹🇭How to answer this question in Thai.

You can respond using this simple pattern ....

👉 I like ..... (chǎn-chôrb-.....) : I like .....

Examples:

💚 ฉันชอบสีเขียวค่ะ (chǎn-chôrb-sěe-kǐaw-kà) : I like green. 👩‍🍼

🩵 ผมชอบสีฟ้าครับ (pǒm-chôrb-sěe-fáa-kráb) : I like blue. 🧑‍🍼

💡Important note!
Don't forget in Thai:

Men usually say 'ผม' (pǒm) to refer to themselves, and end polite sentences with ครับ (kráb)

Women usually say 'ฉัน' (chǎn) to refer to themselves, and end polite sentence with ค่ะ (kà)

This is very important part of sounding polite and natural in Thai conversation!

Now it's your turn!

🎨 Learn More Thai Colours!

Last week, we learned some basic Thai colours such as สีแดง (red), สีเขียว (green), and สีเหลือง (yellow).

Today, let's expand your Thai colour vocabulary with some more useful colours you might hear in everyday conversations!

⚫ สีดำ : sěe-dam = Black

⚪ สีขาว : sěe-kǎao = White

🩶 สีเทา : sěe-tao = Grey

🔵 สีกรมท่า : sěe-grom-má-tâa = Navy Blue

🌸 สีพาสเทล : sěe-pastel = Pastel Colour

🤎 สีน้ำตาล : sěe-nám-taan = Brown

Try saying each colour aloud and see which one is easiest to remember!

📝 Mini Challenge:

Look around you right now and try to say three colours in Thai.

For example:

📱 โทรศัพท์สีดำ
(black phone) :'toe-rá-sàb-sěe-dan' or you can say 'phone-sěe-dam'

☕ เก้าอี้สีน้ำตาล :gâo-êe-sěe-nám-taan
(brown chair) or you can say 'chair-sěe-nám-taan'

👕 เสื้อสีขาว :sûea-sěe-kǎao' (white shirt) or you can say 'shirt-sěe-kǎao'

Warm Up Questions - Part 2 😀

Hello everyone,
Welcome back to Lean Thai with The Thai Teacher Next Door 🇹🇭

In today's post, we will learn 2 simple Thai questions that can help you build basic conversations in Thai.

Question 1: What do you do? คุณทำงานอะไร? (kun-tam-ngaan-à-rai?)

Question 2: What colour do you like? คุณชอบสีอะไร? (kun-chôrb-sěe-à-rai?)

Don't worry if you don't know words in Thai yet.

You can answer in English first

Remember : Learning a language is not about being perfect from the beginning. Start by understanding the questions first, then slowly build your vocabulary step by step. 🙂

This Friday, we will have a small quiz to practice these questions together.

See you in the next post 🥰
