Khup khun Ka, from someone who was adopted from Thailand by Swedish parents at an early age and trying to learn Thai
I often hear (and use) เวลา as a preposition of time instead of ตอน. Many Thai students of English mix up prepositions of place 'at' and 'in' - e.g., I am at school, I am in Bangkok. I rarely hear Thais use ขอ, instead they normally use เอา. This always strikes me as being rude, but to Thais it doesn't seem to be impolite. I always use ขอ. Very useful, Mod. I know 95% of this stuff, but the other 5% is important too. I don't know where or how you learnt your English, but after living in Thailand for 18 years I have met very few Thais who can explain things about the Thai language in English as well as you can. This channel is a very useful resource!
It's so much fun learning Thai especially when the teacher teaches so well! I wish I had Thai friends so that I could learn how to understand someone speaking in Thai and how to talk to them in Thai.
Thank you for your kind comment. I am very happy to hear that you enjoy my lesson. :)
Join our online group classes and you will meet with other people who are learning Thai and speak Thai with the native Thai teacher. When you meet a Thai in the future you will be able to connect right away! :)

Your English is getting better and better .
Hugs for the princess . Thank you for your great teaching
Very helpful, very useful, kru Mod. What I especially like is when you pronounce each sentence with varying degrees of formality- the "citation" form, the polite form, the familar form, the "only with family/close friends" form.
Mod is the best teacher .
I moved from Thailand when I was 7. Although I still speak Thai, my Thai is that of a Dek Noi. :) Finding your channel is a Godsend. It will help me get reacquainted with Thai. Krob Kun Na Krup!
มดดีใจค่ะ ^_^
if i want to say, hello teacher, i should say sawadi krap khru or sawadi khunkhru? please help thanks
This was an excellent and informative video. Thanks
I am happy to hear that you learned something useful from my channel. Please share the video to your friends who are also learning to speak Thai.Thank you! :)
Thank you for the phonetic spelling of Thai words AND leaving it up long enough. Excellent.
Sawasdee khrap , kun khru mod🙏..,even though I m still a beginner , following your you tube channel I understand more about lesson you give,, khob Khun maak Na khrap laew.,ko hai sukkhapab kaeng raeng...
This cleared up a lot for me! Thanks Mod! You're excellent at explaining nuances in Thai.
พูดภาษาไทษก็ชัดมากๆครับ เหมาะสมแล้วครับที่สอนภาษาไทย
Thank you so much. This was very helpful. I've just started learning Thai. Still working on the Alphabet. Lol. But I've wondered since English has so many of the same words than can mean so many different things, how it translates. I've been watching Thai shows and listening to Thai music to get more familiar with the sounds and words.
This video is beyond amazing! Kawp kun ka Mod. Chorb maak maak! ❤️👌🏻
Excellent lesson Kru Mod. You're still the number one Thai teacher.
Khob-khun-maak-maak-krub
This are really good. The few text books I've gotten really don't go into any of these very well. How did people learn languages befor the internet or befor Mod for that matter? Thank you!
Sooo exciting that you mentioned our little country New Zealand in your video... love this video. Thank you
I would love to visit NZ!
Please do.. you will be welcomed with open arms... We need more Thai people to come to New Zealand.
Excellent lesson and explanations from beautiful teacher.
Thank you for learning Thai from my lessons. I appreciate your kind comment.
The best way to translate เลี้ยง would be "to sponsor". So Thais tend to say "I sponsor a cat"; (this way it makes more sense). เลี้ยง is also used to invite someone ("I sponsor you a drink") instead of "invite". Thanks Mod, didn't know it is used for pets (leaned something new).
Great teacher, and beautiful as well, what more could you ask for.
Great grammar lesson! Thank you :)
Lovely content from lovely teacher so easy this way to learn
Clear explanation krab. kob kun mak mak na, Kruu Mod!

Good video, you put ThaiPod 101 too shame.
Much thanks from Canada.
Very useful. Thank you.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Another great and very helpful video. Khob khun mak khrab kruu Mod.
I haven't seen any previous video of yours where you discussed the topic of ที as "at" referring to location and ตอน referring to time.
Thank you we want morthan words 🙏🙏
Thanks Kru Mod, another great video . i will watch this video until all the information stays in my head, so many i will watch it a 100 times he he.
Very good! Repetition is a key factor in language learning.
Thanks for your time. Love to learn more thai.
I love the impatient tone and face with "nòi dì" and "dâai bpá." :)
This is what I'm looking for. It's very difficult to identify the proper verb when your learning medium is English, as in English it uses same verb for different meaning. Thanks Mod.
FANTASTIC lessons as all ways. Thank you teacher.
ขอบคุณมากค่ะ this video helped a lot.
Sit back and relax with a cup of tea.... Oh you'll also need a pen and paper to take notes 🤣🤣🤣

พูดภาษาอังกฤษชัดดีครับ
Great video, thank you for posting
It happens to all languages if we translate or think as our mother tongue or first language into another foreign language. In contrary, it also happens when Thai speaks English.
Thank you!
Good morning, love watching your programs, just interested in how to say. I'm going to eat,. Or I'm going to exercise, or come here . Small words together x

This is epic in its usefulness.
Amazing Thailand! Thanks kruu Mod.
I prefer to write in blood. Is that ok?
what is the difference between tii and yoo because i often listen to someone say yoo bhan or at home
Very helpful video and very beautiful teacher; nothing else to ask for ;)
I am happy to hear that you found my lesson useful in your Thai learning. Thank you for your kind comment. :)
สวัสดีค่ะครูมด ครูมดลืมอธิบายคำว่า "มีไข้" หรือเปล่าคะ
At 18:45, in the less polite form พูดช้าๆได้ป่ะ is ป่ะ short for เปล่า as in หรือเปล่า ?
So Beautiful Teacher 😘
Thank you Mod, Your English is very good.
If you are teaching Thai as a second language are your students going to refer to themselves in the third person? Or use first person pronoun?
Sawatdee ka Matthew, thank you for your comment.
It is common for Thai female speakers and kids to address themselves with their nickname. For male speakers, you can use "ผม pom (rising tone)". :)
There are many instructve examples in this video.
One question about doubling the adverb: What about จริงๆ? I cannot figure out an imperative with this word. Only heard it in normal sentences, like "ฉันรักภาษาไทยจริงๆ".
great lesson, the end you make me laugh. thanks mod.
บทเรียนที่ดีมากครูมด แต๊งกิ้วหลายๆเด้อ
ยินดีค่ะ ขอบคุณค่ะ :)
Nong Mod mai tem baht!!!!!!
Hello Mod,
I have a question about the word "Before" How do you say: I put the flowers "before" the foto. Or, I am standing "before" the shop. So it is a place where I am talking about.
Love Peggy
Sawatdee ka peggy, you can use the word หน้า /nâa/ (in front of) i.e. I am standing in front of the shop ฉันยืนอยู่หน้าร้าน /chán yuen yùa nâa ráan/ :)
@@ThaiwithMod Thank you! I did not think about this. I am Dutch and "in front of" we do not use. We use the same word as in Englisch "Before". Love, Peggy.
Thank you! This was very helpful! But I am also confused by "เอา". I hear people say "เอา" when ordering something at a restaurant. Would it be incorrect to say "ขอ" to order at a restaurant? What is the difference between "เอา" and "ขอ"? Thank you!
“เอา” is more casual and less formal than “ขอ”, but both of these are fine when you add “ครับ/ค่ะ” at the end of sentence. I don’t fluent in English but I think these two example may help you understand: “เอาอันนี้ครับ (I’ll have this one, please)” and “ขออันนี้ครับ (I’d like this one, please)”.
Are you a thai teacher??
