With Valentine’s day this month, love is definitely in the air, so this lesson you will get to learn Thai language from love quotes. I selected six lovely English phrases and explain how we construct those sentences in Thai.
I would like to encourage you to try to translate these expressions to Thai language yourself first, then you can listen to my explanation and check how your translations are different from mine.
Here are the six love quotes;
- I’m still crushing on you since the moment we met.
- Life is better when we’re going through it together.
- “ Where there is love, there is life.” —Gandhi
- “ Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” —Lao Tzu
- “ If I had a flower for every time I thought of you … I could walk through my garden forever.” —Alfred Tennyson
- I followed my heart and it led me to the fridge.
- I just called to say I love you.
My translation is below:
- I’m still crushing on you since the moment we met.
ผมยังแอบปลื้มคุณอยู่ตั้งแต่นาทีที่เราเจอกัน

Pity that Mod stopped answering our questions, maybe she is too busy.
Anyway hope to see new lessons soon
Agreed!
It’s really cool when she answers our comments, but we should keep in mind that she’s got a small kid that probably takes her lots of time so she can’t read or answer all of her fans that comment on her site and FB.
You don’t celebrate it, Mod? Wow. But honestly, don’t you feel good if you get a flower from your partner on that day?
Ahhh valentines theme? Nice idea. Your lessons are great and easy to listen to.
I also like that you actually take time to read our comments and answer most of them. 👍👍
I am happy to hear that you enjoy our lesson. Thank you for your kind comment. 🙂
You are so charming and beautiful , it’s hard to focus on your lessons hihi. Your husband is a lucky guy 😋

Sawatdee ka Penny, thank you for your comment.
I am sorry I am not sure what question you asked me. Can you please ask again?
I sent you email with questions last week, maybe you’ll remember it. For my blogYou said you will answer by the end of the last week but you were probably too busy. 🙂
I like the cheesy ones, could make my girl laugh , if nothing else. 😊😅
Are you romantic or pragmatic type, Mod?
I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the video.
I think I am leaning towards the more practical side of life. I am not totally unromantic though. I add a drop of romance to life’s mix every now and again. 🙂
Yeah? Like what? Romantic dinner with candles? Sexy underwear? Movie night? 😜
Nice one.
What was the most romantic valentines that you had with your husband, Mod?
I personally don’t celebrate valentine’s day. I just think we don’t need one specific day to express our love. 🙂
Jing ror?? Are you telling me you won’t be having any special moments with your husband on Friday evening? Or night, after your kid goes to sleep hihi 😛😅
Cute video! Thanks!
Yaay new lesson, great!!
