Thai language study group "Kaizen" in Chiang Mai (ป.๓-๔-๕).
GammaGlobulin replied to Old Curmudgeon's topic in Chiang Mai
I found a nice intro concerning the methodology of Lean & Kaizen, an intro which is not wasteful in itself, at all, and one which is simple for everyone to understand, even without your further explanation of this method of college-level Thai vocabulary acquisition. Hope this might help to clarify this strategy because I found it interesting, too. -

This is still in early development, I think. The Kaizen method has never been used in this way. This is a revolutionary approach, presumably. -

So....then.... One of my other strategies for learning Thai vocabulary is to.... NEVER study with FARANG. Why would I wish to do this? Especially when your proposed strategy for learning Thai Vocab has no justification, and no logic either....IMHO. So, according to your ground rules stated by you: I guess i will not be joining your Merry Bunch. Still....wishing you good luck..... But, I think you are engaged in a project similar to that of the famed....Sisyphus... I mean THIS guy.... My final advice to you, though is to..... Try to Remain Optimistic..... -

If you did not want ANKI mentioned, then you should have expressly stated so in the OP. And, the reason I mentioned ANKI is that you actually ASKED ME to tell you what strategy I thought best for doing vocab acquisition work. Therefore, if you DO NOT want some subject broached, then PLEASE do NOT Ask for it....!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like your little group is going to be a merry bunch, though.......for sure.....maybe..... -

Unfortunately, I have only long been familiar with this, having lived in Japan off and on since 1971.... Maybe you are talking about Process Control....but I can't say for sure. I doubt that you will get to college-level Thai, if you are talking about graduate-level Chula vocabulary level. Chula already publishes a word list of Thai vocabulary from it's work at Chula. By the way... How long have you been studying Thai? And, what methodology/strategy have you tried thus far? -

GammaGlobulin replied to Old Curmudgeon's topic in Chiang Mai
I will not only suggest, but I will also COMMAND you to use the same most effective method that I use, and have used, for over a decade. Namely: ANKI... https://apps.ankiweb.net/ Anki is best for vocabulary learning and retention, including Chinese vocabulary, Thai language vocabulary, and Medical terminology, including physiology and anatomy-course terminology. This app is the best, and used worldwide by medical students who need to learn difficult medical terminology and concepts in a hurry, and not forget. There is no other similar app which is as good and versatile. I thought all language learners knew about ANKI. The algorithm of spaced-repetition is quite effective. Also, I am aware of a few recalcitrant detractors that go on the internet and unfairly try to denigrate the great ANKI App, which works easily on Linux, Windows OS, and Apple, and, importantly on Android. Of course, that Nutty Apple Company makes it so that ANKI is not free for the brainchild of that Control Freak Jobs (glad he is no longer with us), but this is Apple's fault...(as if the company did not have enough money as it is). I use ANKI on Android and on Linux for free. And, in the past I used it on Windows OS for free. There are many Thai decks already created by others for free use. But I create my own. ANKI is a bit more complicated if one wishes to do more complex tasks, but it's also simple for beginners. https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks?search=thai I bet you didn't know that I know so much....right? -

And, also... What prerequisite vocabulary knowledge is required? Minimum of 5000 words? Or, what is the minimum? -

Warning Signs: The Looming Collapse of a Critical Ocean System
GammaGlobulin replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Nothing to worry about, really! https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/ocean-tipping-point-climate-change-b2657442.html We will all be dead before the impact is felt in any significant way. Also, this is OLD NEWS. We have known for years that this will happen, just as it has happened in the past. Europe will become a giant SNOWBALL.... So what? Here in Thailand, though, the affects will be less drastic. Anyway....we will probably all starve to death due to drastic decrease in food production and crop yields sooner than 2150, just due to another 1.5 degree C warming, which is likely in 2050. Therefore, this thermocline problem may turn out to be insignificant, in the end. No worries. What, me worry? Actually, the Independent article seems based on this article that they link: https://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2024/11/meltwater-greenland-arctic-weakening-ocean-circulation But, if you really want to know what's going on in Science, then don't get it from a UK newspaper...Instead, just read the science journals. -
Thailand aims to become education hub with global universities

Does this mean I will soon be able to get my second and third PhD in Thailand? This is not as crazy as it sounds. -
Nose Jobs: Thai Fashion Statement or Beauty Fail?
GammaGlobulin replied to JK-Trilly's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Even if post-op work causes the nose to "not fit" with the rest of the face, this is just a matter of opinion, and there is no absolute judgement that can be made. For example, I have a friend whose surgery was done by the famous Dr. Picasso, and everyone loves it, even though things don't exactly fit right. So, I say go for it, and feel free to make your nose as high as the sky. -
Just as OJ Simpson, after OJ was pardoned, Hunter is very likely to commit future crimes for which Trump and future presidents will not pardon him. Every Dog has his day. And, Hunter is no exception. He shall reap what he hath sown. So it is written.... (Here, by me.) A pardon which is retroactive for all crimes during the past 11 years is just too over the top. What crimes do we not yet know about? Obviously, both Joe and Hunter Biden are BOTH lame ducks. Send Hunter back to China, please. Preferably, confine him to QingHai Lake, which is located in a Prison Province of China.

Anytime I want to hear a good analysis of something, I first listen to the Unbiased Geeks. Here is a good analysis of the Hunter Biden Pardon, for example: The humor provided with the analysis might, unfortunately, be too dry and satirical for some. Still, a valid analysis.

That looks very good. But, you know that I am very lazy. Also, I am not sure about the best way to make a starter. I have heard that some starters have gene lines which are over 80 years old. Also, I would worry about safety if I were making a starter culture myself, of course. This is why I have not experimented with the new technology, thus far: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/starter-culture#:~:text=Starter cultures are cultures with,high and constant product quality. Still, I do so much love sourdough bread. And, I never buy bread, even if sourdough bread were available in the local village market.

Why Do Thai Girls Love Getting Tattoos?
GammaGlobulin replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I think girls and guys should feel free to look how they want to look. So far, I haven't seen any girls with a bone through their nose....like some I know of.... If I were a sex worker, or if I decide to become one in the future, after my sex change, then I will also get a bone through my nose. After all, in this new age of ours, there seems no stigma attached to any form of aberrant behavior...which we now call enlightenment, ...maybe... -
Denver's nut job mayor to head the resistance.
GammaGlobulin replied to Cryingdick's topic in Political Soapbox
My classmate was governor of Colorado. He's a senator now. Used to be mayor of Denver. Hails from The Main Line. You want me to fix something for you? -
Healthy bread is sourdough bread. But, I don't know how to make it in my bread machine. Also, other than Swann Flour, I don't know about. Swann is good quality and cheap in price. I think I could get good quality higher fiber flour from China. Bakeries in North-Eastern China, like in Harbin or Dalian make GREAT bread. I wish I could buy Chinese flour here. Probably cheap and good.

Rabbi's Murder Sparks Terror Alert for Israelis in Thailand

Everybody loves chicken soup. Therefore, why can't we stop arguing? Let's all sit down and break bread together, while slurping our soup? I love chicken soup. https://www.greatergovanhill.com/latest/like-my-grandmother-used-to-make-jewish-chicken-soup#:~:text=Twelfth century Jewish philosopher and,worth breaking my vegetarianism for.

Harris MUST run again in 2028. I will contribute, a bit, to her 2028 election campaign fund. Where do I send my money? The best thing Harris can do for America is to Run AGAIN, three years from today. Go HARRIS Go...! Thou blessed woman. You have been the BEST Thing for America since Abraham Lincoln. And this is NOT a joke. I very much look forward to stomaching her, once more, in the National Spotlight...in coming years. You Go, Girl! As only Oprah could say...
