Many fungus can cause a web-like appearance on grass in the morning. The web-like appearance is caused by the branching mycelium of the fungus. The web will disappear when the dew dries. Or could be spider hatchlings.😂 Awesome videos headed that way in January. Thanks

It opens in Nov. 3km in off the main highway, I doubt they’ll be any buses As an example..Our neice opened a little coffee stand on the main road beside a 7-Eleven and was lucky to sell 5 cups a day. She moved to a new location in front of a temple. She’s selling 60+ cups a day it’s all about location. I hope it works out. It’s nice to have a restaurant walking distance from the house, a place to stop in and have a cold beer That being said ..I give them six months.

It’s going slow.. ‘pom luem’ means ‘I forget’ 😆 When I’m standing listening to Thai people have a conversation I can pick up a lot of what they’re saying but when it comes time for me to talk, I get this ‘deer in the headlight’ feeling and draw a blank 10 minutes later. I’m having the whole conversation in my head, but then it’s too late. I’m not giving up!

Thanks Thomas I’m really concentrating on just improving my vocabulary.

That’s what I need. Nice and slow. It clicked in to me that we are like infants learning. Tiks sis speaks a mile a minute When they’re talking, I don’t understand hardly anything When older Thai are talking to children I understand much better because they talk much slower and simpler Tik went to uni classes and had a English tutor. Took her years and she was younger. I remind her now and again its a long journey and I just started the car 😁

The biggest problem you have when you're older is adopting a new voice, something which is foundational to your identity and nearly set in stone at a certain age. If you can't learn to find this new voice then you'll never be able to mimic how they speak and learn their language. If this was some European language which is closer to English this would be more achievable but Thai is a totally alien language by comparison.
@GlenRobertsonMusic Ай бұрын

@@GlenRobertsonMusic Signing is a good idea actually. I think other people had all the good advice. Learn to read first and watch TV then mimic what they say over and over again. The real talent is if you can suppress your own inner voice and replace it with a a new "Thai" person.

9:36 I'm one of those people who say "if you're gonna live in my country you should learn to speak the language" :D and that's exactly what I did when I moved to Thailand - started learning Thai and at around Paddy's level now (but still far from someone like Stuart Jay Raj). But yes, I still don't understand people who have lived in a country for 10+ years and don't speak the local language. They're basically living in a self-inflicted bubble. My grandma's neighbors in Lithuania are Russian, have lived in Lithuania for like 20 years, and don't speak a word of the language. Their kids go to a russian speaking schools etc. Life must really suck for them tbh, especially with the current geopolitical situation which made most of the country become pretty hostile to Russians...

As a speaker of Thai for decades (since 1970), my biggest recommendation is to learn to read and write from the very beginning. I did the same with Khmer and Lao and have had no issues when learning to speak and understand. Never try to learn Thai using the Latin alphabet, that is a fatal mistake. Thais often don't speak English well, because they are taught using Thai script, along with all of its unique rules.

I suspect it's fear more than laziness that prevents many people from trying to learn. The younger ones seem happy to jump in and try, but as we get older the brain slows down and it gets harder to process and retain new info..and along with that comes fear. Fear of discomfort, fear of embarrassment, fear of losing status etc. I'm 60 now and been learning Thai in Aust for about 14 months. Yes it's hard, yes it's frustrating at times, yes it can be a bit embarrassing when you make mistakes and don't know how to express yourself, or understand others once you've gotten up the courage to start a conversation...but hey what else are you gonna do with your brain at this age? Let it slowly rot?? 😅😅. My tips for learning: find a teacher who knows what their doing (online or in person). Stay away from language learning apps. They're dead weight. Speak as much as you can, and learn how to ask clarifying questions in Thai. Eg "could you say that again?" "I didn't understand". "Could you speak slowly please". Thanks for the video friend..and good luck on your Thai language journey!
