How do you say that you want garlic in Your Food?
You can make this request by saying ใส่กระเทียมด้วยค่ะ sài grà-tiam dûai kâ (Please add garlic). 🙂
– Garlic in Thai is “กระเทียม /grà-tiam/”
– To add, to put’ is “ใส่ /sài/”
– ด้วย /dûai/ is a polite particle used when asking someone to do something.
Hi Mod! ^^
I am Vietnamese and I am very interested in Thai language as well as Thailand and Thai’s people & culture. So I started to learn Thai on my own some days ago. I am very happy when I find your website with helpful lessons. It helps me alot to start! Thank you very much for your instruction!
I started to learn Thai consonants and how to pronounce them…but it seems too hard to pronounce the ” r “. Could you please show me the way to move the tongue to vibrate the sound of ” r “? Thank you so much!
Best regards!
Sawatdee ka Hoang, thank you for your comment. I am happy to hear that you found my website useful in your Thai learning. 🙂
In everyday conversation, almost every Thai person change “r” to “l” sound and it is very normal to do that here. However I will make a separate video for rolling “r”. Keep practicing. 🙂
Hello Mod, I would like to say how helpful I find your videos, Ive lived in Thailand 3 years and can speak a little Thai, however my problem is when Thai people speak back to me I usually find them difficult to understand, hence I have found your videos good for improving my listening skills
Sawatdee ka Philip, first of all apologies for my late response. I am happy to hear that you found my videos useful in your Thai leaning. Listening is a challenging part, but don’t give up. Keep practicing and talk to Thai people everyday will help a lot. 🙂
Hello,
I like your teaching so much, but I think the consonant in Thai is 20 not 21.

I would like to correct my comment. I would say there are 44 characters and 21 consonants in Thai language. It is not 20 consonants as you mentioned in your video. Or I miss some Thai grammar?

This is correct! I made a mistake. 🙂
I am sorry for my mistake.
Kob khun krup khun MOD.
Your VDOs are very helpful.
Very kind of you.
Suggest that you publish a
compilation of lesson & VDSs
in a book+DVD, to further
‘make known’ your good work,
and to reach a much wider audience.
Chok-di krup
Thank you for your suggestion. 🙂

Wish you all the best,
Sincerely regards,
Piseth,
You’re the best. Tackling tones is my project for the rest of the year. I’ve gotten lazy over the past few months since all my friends understand what I’m saying regardless of whether i use the correct tones or not. Need to practice more 🙂 Thanks Kru Mod
Why guys (old and young) in Thai movies or dramas refer to themselves as “chan” rather than “phom”?
They always use “chan” in Thai dramas which are usually based on old Thai novels. In the old time, men also used ‘chan’ to address themselves when talking to a younger person.
Sawatdee ka
How are u?
Khob khun ka is mean “thank you”.
“I’m sorry”,”support” how speak?
tks,
Sawatdee ka, apologies for my late reply. I am fine , thank you. 🙂
I have a video teaching useful basic Thai words here including “I am sorry”, please have a look at Lesson 5:https://learnthaiwithmod.com/2013/12/basic-thai-lessons-for-a-newbie-tourist/
‘support’ in Thai is สนับสนุน /sà-nàp-sà-nŭn/.
Doumo arigatou gozaimashita Modtyan…thank you very much…
Hi Mod,
I want to sincerely thank you for creating your website and video series. They have been most helpful to me in learning some basic Thai language. I may move to Skype lessons when I’m a bit more confident (i.e. made more progress). I only have about 30 minutes per day to devote to language practice, but consistency and persistence will hopefully (eventually) get me where I want to be.
I visited Thailand in December and plan to come back again this year for a more extensive tour.
Kind regards,
~ Dan
Hi,
since I come from Indonesia, of course I am not a native english speaker
and my english is also not too good as it rarely use
Though I am not a frequent visitor to Thailand, but I really like Thailand and want to learn something further about it
It is a fortune for me when finding your website
I could learn something about Thailand and English at the same time ha .. ha .. ha …
Perhaps in the near future when my English is getting better then I will definitely take your private course for Thai language
This site is very helpful, thank you very much
Sawatdee ka Yoedo, thank you for your kind words. I am happy to hear that you found my website useful in your Thai learning (and English:)) Hope you continue to follow my lessons in the future as well. By the way, your English is great! We offer Skype lesson which is as efficient as in-person lesson, if you are interested we are happy to schedule you a free trial lesson. Please write me at adjima_t@hotmail.com
Thank you for your work, Mod, it’s really helpful.
Finally, I could grasp the difference between tones:)
Cheers!
I am thankfull too you kru . you are good teacher and beautiful too.
Why Can’t I watch the videos ?? 🙁
My YouTube Channel has been suspended. I have already submitted the copyright counter notification to YouTube, I am confident my channel will come back up in about 4 weeks.Please stay tuned : )
I have latest videos I put on vimeo here: https://learnthaiwithmod.com/2013/06/video-telling-time/
Great site!
Basic Q I know. But Kop Khuun Krap for male I’ve often heard people not say “Krap” but “Kap”. Am I not hearing this correctly, or is it just some people not saying the word right?
Thing is though, I want to learn Thai for holiday, am going back again in 52 days, but where do I start?
I Love Thailand!!!!
Thai people often drop the rolling R sound or change it to L sound because it is easier & quicker to speak that way. 🙂
very useful! many thanks to beautiful teacher mod 😉
