Wow, this is a very timely video for me as I'm just at around a B1 level in my speaking and looking to focus on improving this year. Thanks so much for sharing your tips. Here's some of my notes and follow up questions; I've recently started trying to learn new words with their thai meanings instead of English translations but finding it so much slower. Did you have this experience? My listening comprehension is just getting up to the higher level learner-orientated content such as Riam Thai's advanced series and I'm excited to get into more native content. I've been watching some interviews on Mike Yu's channel recently which are fun and relatively slow as he is a non native speaker and he's often interviewing non native speakers or ลูกครึ่ง or Thai people who slow down their speech so he can understand. The next step will be native Thai interviews I think. I really like the idea of taking words or sentences from tv shows or conversations but I've always struggled with the time commitment of doing something like that consistently. I really like your suggestion about noting a sentence that sounds like something I would say in English and practicing it including swapping out words. It seems like it would be easier with a show with dual language subtitles too. I haven't put much focus on particles and slang so far. To be honest its something I'll probably coming back to when I'm at a higher level as I don't think its that important to communicate but more about sounding more natural like you said. Although they are definitely fun to say but the ones I have are more ones I picked up naturally than ones that I studied. The thai-language article looks like a good find! Great book recommendation at the end. I'll have to check it out. Some things I'm experimenting with at the moment: 1) Chatting with ChatGPT Advanced Voice every day. Obviously not as good as a native speaker but cheaper and more convenient. 2) Talking 5 mins on a topic and recording it then going back and analysing to find words I didn't know and areas to improve then recording again and analysing again etc. Trying to do a new one each week and this is week three. I will report how it goes on my own channel. Thanks again for sharing all your tips and looking forward to seeing your next update!
Wow! I think you are very committed and doing such a great job. I felt inspired reading through your notes. I use Chatgpt, too, but not as often. To answer your question, it is not a slow process for me. On the contrary, it helps me learn them faster. I use ChatGPT for this one. Once I put in my prompt to translate a Thai word, it responds with a breakdown explaining the word in Thai. Once I read through it all, I feel like I get a better grasp than if it were explained to me in English. I'm also so used to listening to natural Thai as I got introduced through a series. Besides Cullen Hateberry, I haven't seen a lot of content like the one you mentioned. I'm also mostly learning through listening, so I find it beneficial to learn from native content. Overall, I think you've got some real good strategies going. I'm too stretched for time, so I always do the bare minimum tbh 😅. And thank you so much for taking the time to engage. Truly appreciate it, and wishing you all the very best!!!
I love the not just happy but enjoyable vibe that encourages to learn thai.. I encountered all of that hard things and frustration before that is why I stopped 😅.. but like you, I enjoyed learning it.. keep it up.. you are almost there..
@anaellekylyn yes.. I stopped when I am in that level like yours today .. but I will continue if opportunity allows time and continue listening here in yt.. I felt that I must continue studying thai after watching this video 😅
Oh, a level like mine? Then you should've kept going 😩. I do hope that you get the chance to get back to it. I would really be glad to hear that 😅, but don't mind me. Go at it at your own pace always. สู้ๆ💪
What anki template for thai do u use? Can u please share? And if it possible to share your entire deck(s), that will save so much time for me and others. Ankiweb has a few decks designed proper way but 99% is just word - translation. Will be so appreciated if u do it ☺☺☺
@anaell ekylyn very fast👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻 can you please recommend some Spanish movie and my biggest concern how to manage school and language studies 🥺 i am 🤲🏻 beging because of frustration
@sanjaychaudhary71 Oh, I don't actually watch any Spanish TV. Just a couple of movies on Netflix, and that's about it. Maybe check out Netflix or Vix. Vix is a Spanish series platform. Hope those help.
Ty for the tips btw banana thai podcast really helped me ❤

@@anaellekylyn Thanks for your replies.
Lots to think about and try to incorporate into my own learning.
I love the not just happy but enjoyable vibe that encourages to learn thai.. I encountered all of that hard things and frustration before that is why I stopped 😅.. but like you, I enjoyed learning it.. keep it up.. you are almost there..
Awn you stopped? 💔 At least you enjoyed it, and I'm glad you did the right thing for you. Thanks for the encouragement 😊

Oh dear, have I ever mentioned Anki on this channel?? 🤔 I don't recall, and I don't use Anki. So sorry.
@@anaellekylyn I just make my guess that it was anki when you adding ส่องแสง in some app, quite similar interface 🙂
That explains it 😅 and i didn't know that.
Sister you keep your promise and make a video about it
My word is my bond 😉🙏
@anaell ekylyn very fast👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻 can you please recommend some Spanish movie and my biggest concern how to manage school and language studies 🥺 i am 🤲🏻 beging because of frustration
@anaellekylyn my word is my bid Pran jaaye per Vachan Na jaaye it means Life may go but promise should not go
