Listening practice for non beginners

[JackGats]

This rather new site is a gem for those who like me feel they'll remain stuck in intermediate no man's land for ever. Her chatty soft voice is addictive. Hardly slowed down at all, yet no rattling out either. Transcripts are available in copy and pastable format (unlike many youtube vids where you see the Thai script for a fraction of a second but no way to copy it onto Google translate for analysis).

Listening to that, it is rather rare and a pleasant treat.

 

That skit is around Advanced-Beginner level but she's speaking a little slow so it needs to be adjusted to 1.5x speed on YouTube settings to be more realistic.

 

It's a shame she gives the explanation beforehand in English. It's crucial to pick up from the Thai, the gist of the skit.  

 

All in all, very good of her.

YT subs can usually be downloaded, e.g. using New Pipe for Android.

Thank you that is just what I need. ผมจะเลือกฟัง Grace พูดตลอดวันเพราะเขาพยายามให้คนฟังเข้าใจเรื่องที่เขาเล่า

 

I tried the site and it appears that courses are not available now. 
learning Thai using Thai is exactly what I want.

I'm very fond of "Kruu Wee teach Thai" on YT. Material ranges from beginner to intermediate-ish. Sentence structures.

I have a way of quickly selecting my learning/listening material: I click on a podcast at 3 random intervals, if I hear English/Thaiglish 2 or 3 times out of 3 I blacklist it. At intermediate or advanced level what you need is Thai, Thai and Thai (with the possible exception of subtitles).

 

This lady has good advanced listening material. There are only a dozen or so advanced listening sequences but they include the transcript in the comments. The topics are interesting in their own right, like here below the rise of coffee shops in Thailand.
