Women Learning Thai… and some men too ;-)

Adam Bradshaw is well-known amongst Thais and intermediate Thai language students for his insightful English language videos on YouTube. And now Adam is now teaching Thai. Excellent. Most Thai learners know me as an English teacher because most of my material on the Internet is made for Thais learning English. However, many intermediate/advanced Thai learners [...]

Karn.TV Cartoons: Flooding in Thailand… During the past few weeks, Thailand’s 50 Million Blue Whales Flooding Bangkok were a big YouTube hit for Thais and students of the Thai language. Today I found Karn.TV’s cartoon offer… There are three more flood videos (just follow along on YouTube). Note: To keep up with the flood news [...]

Thailand has 50 million blue whales flooding Bangkok… Obviously, there are not 50 million blue whales flooding Bangkok. Not even one. And the flood is not only about Bangkok. But as bonkers as 50 million whales flooding Bangkok sounds, the contradicting flood information bombarding us daily seems just as wacky. Anyway. This post is for [...]

Learning Languages: The art and science of remembering everything… My ability to remember names (people or places) is weak. Unless it’s for a short-term project like a script, my memory just doesn’t go there. So I skip over names whether in books or when meeting new people. Carrying on a conversation without remembering names is [...]

Who’s talking about learning Thai… The results for the Top 25 Language Learning Blogs 2011 and the Top 100 Language Lovers 2011 are in. Thank you for your support everyone. I’m surprised where I placed but you won’t hear any quibbling from me! And I promise to keep up the pace. WLT’s generous contributors … [...]

Who’s talking about learning Thai… Goodness, the hot months of 2011 are just marching in! Ok, March was still sort of coolish but I’m typing this out in HOT HOT HOT April and it’s HOT! And while the months are marching on, I’m still posting this series late. Yeah. Anyway, if you’d like to see [...]

Who’s talking about learning Thai… Gawd, am I late with this post, or what? I have no real excuse except for a back-to-back life, and playing catchup to that back-to-back life. How’s that? Weak… I know… I know… Btw – if you know anything about the red character in the photo above, I’d love to [...]

Luke with Farang Pok Pok: Episode 2… Thanks to everyone for taking the time to watch the first episode of Farang Pok Pok and to leave comments. One comment, from Emil, stands out in that he asked if it was possible to turn off the subtitles. The subtitles are added by me to the video [...]

The first episode of the Thai TV show that I co-host, ฝรั่ง ป๊อก ป๊อก (Farang Pok Pok), aired in January 2011. In this episode I traveled to Samut Sonkram to live with clam farmers. Filming the first show was much harder than I expected. Speaking Thai with friends is easy enough, but having to perform [...]

Who’s talking about learning Thai… This is the fifth Who’s talking about learning Thai post. How time flies. September was the first post in the ongoing series, followed by October, November, and December. A couple of the bloggers mentioned in the first part of the series haven’t updated their sites in awhile, but that’s generally [...]

Who’s talking about learning Thai… Well, here we are in 2011. Finally. Some of you might not know this, but I’ve been either out of Bangkok or Thailand for the best part of November/December, with chunks taken out of September/October too. So now you know why I haven’t spent a whole lot of time commenting. [...]

Learn Thai With Mod… Adjima (Mod) is just as cute as can be. Agreed? So when I came across her YouTube channel, LearnThaiwithMod, I just had to share it with my buddy Scott, the connoisseur of all things Thai. After poking around, we were both of the opinion that Adjima’s presentation is fun and her [...]

The Tower of Confusion and Smart.fm… The Tower of Confusion discusses language learning. If you have the time, cruise through Edwin’s Learning Tips or see what he has to say about Stuart Jay Raj. In Edwin’s post, The Most Effective Way to Learn Hiragana, I was reminded once again about Smart.fm. One nice thing about [...]
