This lesson is very special because you will learn two things in one;
[1] Thai Grammar
[2] Listening skills
I try to make this lesson useful for both beginners and intermediate learners. I edited the same role play in two different versions;
Version 1 is with subtitle and has slower talking speed
Version 2 is without subtitle and has normal talking speed.
- If you are a beginner, before watching the Role Play please learn the grammar parts which I explain at the end first, so you understand the sentence structure then you can watch the conversation
- If you are not a beginner, I suggest you to start by watching the role play without the subtitle
You can choose to watch either version first depends on your language level.

Thanks for this Mot. You might want to fix the typing error in this phrase หมดอาลัยตากอยาก (3rd sentence). This was a new phrase for me.
