  1. Practice the ng with English words that end with ng, for example : waiting

    then after the ng you say your Thai word. Does that help?

    Verry funny I am from Hollanad and have no problem at all with ng.

    Also the midback of your tongue should be pressed up against your ? (sorry dont know the english word for it)

  2. I do not know if it is mentioned in one of the other pages but I would advice to eat lots of garlic everyday and then when you are attacked just breath out in that persons face................ :o

  3. What I would like to ask to the experienced speakers/readers is the following.

    I am having great difficulties 'owning' the words.

    With that I mean for example if you say: " Raan ahaan yu ti naai.

    Do you hear yourself say: 'Restaurant where is, or do you just know/memorise that that phrase means where is the restaurant.

    Other simple words like : Rot fai = Car fire, hong naam= room water

    I asked this in my office today as I was trying to explain why the Thai language seems so unlogic to me.

    Answer from them Rot fai means train, No I said it is car fire and they had to smile, same with hong naam and a bunch of other words and phrases I asked them.

    So for fun we putted a few phrases on the white board in Thai and the translate word by word.

    I asked them when reading the english version if it made sense, no absolutely not they said.

    Can you imagine how I feel I asked them.

    Anyway we had great fun and I am sure after 10 years learning I will be able to order Som Tam the way I like it, ha haha

  4. I think I got it!!!!

    This is about when you are asked a question and know or dunno the answer if it then is a good tactic to answer the question with another question without answering the question directly with a question that answers the question, am I right?

  5. Thank you all for sort of waiting for me, sorry had a bizz dinner so I am home late.

    My question is/was that I am not clear what we are talking about due to the many counter questions asked.

    So I would like to know what the purpose of this topic is.

    In other words: "What would we/he/she like to achieve by bringing up this topic"

  6. Why do you look for an outside God?

    God is inside you, but most people will never search there and worship something outside themselves.

    You do not need some kind of outside wisdom, force or whatever you call it to know how to be a good person.

    Common sense is all that is needed.

  7. Ok lah, here we go!

    Go to your local Tesco and find the following.

    1 Pack of McCormick creamy Garlic Alfredo sauce mix

    Bacon (about 200 gram)

    Some chicken filet (200 gram)

    Milk (about one cup 100 cc)

    Butter (one spoon)

    Pasta (200 gram)

    Spinach (up to you)

    Melt the butter and stirr in the milk and sauce mix untill it boils

    Add the pasta and meat, let it cook for a while

    Add the cutted spinach and let it cook for 5 minutes

    Add salt and pepper to your taste.

    Just less then half an hour and you will eat your fingers off.

    Take care all,

    Alex

    By the way you can grow spinach yourself very easy. Just buy some and put in some ground, water it and see it grow.

    Make sure you take off the big leaves and use it for your delicious pasta pesto chicken spinach meals.

  8. Quote: This same nut was claiming that a old airport in Texas where FEMA was storing hundreds of mobile trailers was a concentration camp since he was to dumb to realize that they were kept for the off chance a hurricane would wipe out the coast. Currently those very same trailers are still to this day housing the folks who have no homes left in New Orleans.

    Have you read the news that those trailers are containing Formaldehyde (sorry for spelling) and make a lot of people sick?

    There is a lot of info available if you look and search for it, just have an open mind, do not believe everything you find but just double check.

    A good video that you can watch is : Why we fight, just Google for it.

  9. Thailand in ten years will be like living in paradise.

    Easy visa rules for foreigners, land you can own yourself, no restrictions on the 51% Thais that need to be condo owners, everyone will speak basic English, foreign food can be found everywhere, transportation to anywhere, available by bus train and metro, real high speed internet for a low price available as long as you have a landline, the air quality will meet EU standards and there will be a lot of public parks where people can meet, jog or join aerobic lessons for free.

    The roads will be smooth and no traffic jams anywhere, your som tam will still be 20 Bath and Uni students will keep their current fashion trend dresses. No double pricing anywhere and Thai soapies will be undertitled in English.

    Did I miss something?

    :o

  10. Yes I am.
