The Korean guy had been waiting all his life for a test like this and he passed with flying colors! And he should be very proud to read and speak a language so different from his. All his hard work paid off. Very smart guy! It was great to see his reaction!

Korean and Thai are quite similar and belong to the Sino group of languages

[@bloodyoctober9939]

@@Johnne009 I think you need to do better research before replying. Thai and Korean are not from the same language family.

[@BTSARmY-ip1km]

@@Johnne009 If Thai and Korean are similar Nowadays, I don't have to major in Korean anymore. And Koreans probably don't have to learn Thai. But if you talk about Laos, I still understand because the languages ​​are very similar.

@@Johnne009 the one and only similar language to thai is laos. Korean language is whole different. It develop from chinese language.

That was brilliant. Loved how happy the Korean dude was. He loves Thailand and this made his day. Sometimes as a westerner in Thailand we tend to forget that just about every culture and peoples also love Thailand. Evidenced here with multiple nations having a go.

I realize you do not put spaces in writing Thai.

[@ksem1337]

@@Dan-xx5jq I dunno why they do it btw, sentences are still composed from individual words, so it's quite strange. But it's not as a big of a deal as Thai letters being so small on computer screens. Some of my friends have bad eye-sight and it really stops them from learning Thai, they just can't read it.

[@panyaseesawat1136]

@@Dan-xx5jq ภาษาไทย มีการเว้นวรรคที่แตกต่างจากภาษาอื่น เช่น ภาษาอังกฤษที่จะเว้นวรรคตามคำศัพท์ แต่ภาษาไทยมีการรวมและเว้นวรรคเป็น"ประโยค"คำพูด☺️ รวมคำศัพท์เป็น1ประโยค....เว้นวรรค....

[@ame-kd6oz]

@@Dan-xx5jq we can do that because 1. vowels and consonants are always seperate: ("weareironman" "we are ironman" this confuse are found in english but "a" and "i" cannot on first letter in thai so it will easier to read like sentense "wegotojail") 2. thai word have no long compound end sound as consonants("enhancement" will be "enhanmen") and all letter in word much have voice ( "dept" will be "det") so after read it, you will feel easy to pronouce and each pronouce will be align to have meaning 3. one thai syllable useally short so it like normally sentense are "wegotojail" "panflytoleg" note1: if you study thai you will know some word also have silence voice because it is from other language but it also easy to seperate because it alway at last of word and have special charecter to warn you " ์ " note2: if you study thai you will thing we have compound sound it because some compound sound are already in vowels ( "foreign" sound "ei" can use one vowels " เ ")

As a Thai person, it's nice to see foreigners or just other people try to learn our language. It's really hard and even I sometimes struggle to read some of the words. Also, I actually went to that store with my parents many times. I was thinking why the surroundings were looking so strange and familiar.

[@highbrand]

Most of the students in my Thai class in Bangkok were from East Asia, so it doesn't surprise me there were a Japanese and Korean who got the money.

[@tuskmite]

I studied spoken Thai for 5 years painstakingly (by my self) before kicking it off with the script and here's my only tip for foreigners trying to learn Thai: START WITH THE SCRIPT! Trust me it makes a huge difference on how fast you learn the language.

[@connorkapooh2002]

I'm half Thai, moved away when I was young so I can speak broken Thai and understand more but not to a high level. How did you go about learning the script? I feel like it would make a huge difference if I could actually vocalise written Thai?

[@tuskmite]

@@connorkapooh2002 Just multiple online using teaching videos. There's A LOT of memorizing regarding rules and stuff but once you just get a grasp of the basics you already have the building blocks for the rest. For me, as a Finnish person studying Thai in English i found the most difficult part to be trying to get a grasp of the transliteration in English. But when i started studying the script i understood how the sounds work (and also that we have the same vowels in Finnish, minus the tonality and throaty/nasal aspects) and that the consonants aren't just K, G, T like in English but that there are multiple different soundings to them that have different rules and meanings when paired with one another. ok i made this sound a lot more complicated than it is... The thing that takes the most time is memorizing which class a consonant is (thus which tone the word is said in when there is no tone marking above the letter). Just look out any tutorials. The one that cracked it for me is Thaipod101 on KZbin. Good luck! You already know the language (even if it is broken) so you'll get a grasp of it in no time!

The Korean guy, Song Chan, was so excited to win, it was as though he had won Squid Game! He really made the video. I'm curious though, as a fellow Aussie that has been really struggling to learn Thai, what mobile app, computer program or course do people think is the best at teaching English speakers how to read Thai?

ชอบที่แพดดี้พูดภาษาไทยไพเพราะ และพูดชัดมาก / ต่างจากวัยรุ่นต่างชาติที่พูดไทยหลายคน พูดไม่เพราะเลย คำแสลงเยอะ และนั่นก็สะท้อนตัวบุคคลเอง

[@rainyseason4581]

เห็นด้วยอย่างยิ่งค่ะ เท่าที่ติดตามมาและสังเกต คุณแพดดี้พูดจาสุภาพ แสดงว่าศึกษามาเป็นอย่างดี รู้ว่าอะไรสุภาพไม่สุภาพ ไม่มีกูมึง หรือคำต่างๆ ที่บางคนคิดว่าพูดแล้วโก้เก๋ โดยไม่รู้ว่านั่นน่ะมันทำให้คนพูดเองดูไม่ให้เกียรติคนฟัง หรือคนอื่นที่ได้ยิน บางคนชอบพูดคำแสลง คำสบถต่างๆ เหมือนจะเก่งภาษาไทย ซึ่งมันไม่ใช่ คนเก่งจริงคือคนที่นอกจากจะพูดจะฟังได้รู้เรื่องแล้ว น้ำเสียงและท่าทางยังต้องสุภาพ และรู้กาลเทศะด้วย นั่นแหละเก่งจริง

[@John-zb4by]

Hey Paddy. I thought this was a fun clip until the end when you said you'd been there 4 hours! That seems crazy pitiful about how many foreign people don't read - which likely means they don't speak well either. I feel sad for the farang community. Speaking (and reading) Thai helps so much to show respect for this great place we live. Thanks for making Thai language fun.

[@John-zb4by]

@@ShadyD365 I hear what you're saying David and definitely Asoke would be a low concentration of Thai readers. For me, speaking, reading and writing Thai is one way to show respect for this wonderful place and I feel that the foreign community could do a better job of honoring Thai culture. So I say, "good for you!" for wanting to learn Thai! Classroom learning is my favorite because you can meet new friends. I also have a tutor who I meet online that I would recommend.
