Oh you gotta get the slang down bro
For example, if you want to give them more respect and let them know you are cool..
You say,
Sa-wa-dee-Kwai
Just a little hip tip. Say that to especially your female friends instead of Sawadee-kab and you'll be on the track to Cool Town in no time! Know the lingo!
Best tip ITT.
Why do I feel like anon is trying to ruse me here
i made up a word sentence to help remember words. examples:
The lawn is hot. b/c lawn is hot in thai language.
pet duck. b/c pet is duck. but it can also mean Hispanicy-hot depending on how you pronounce it.
nam is water. so i think of viet-nam being by the sea.
qua/ sigh / thrum-pie rhymes, and means right, left and straight ahead respectively.
hung-nam literally means water room, but it is the bathroom- toilet.
>nam is water. so i think of viet-nam being by the sea.
that's funny, i do exactly the same thing
I wonder how many other people do it.
When I had to study Chinese characters, I associated their shapes and pronunciations with perverted sex acts. It worked for me, but now reading at a Chinese menu is like looking at the worst of the dark web.
Oh yeah, a single 32 year old loser from sighsee, staying in a hostel, buying cheap beer and tipping a dancer 20$ in hopes that she will sleep with him is really gonna "spur their economy"
Wrong thread buddy, shill your clotshots in the dedicated sperging thread.
Pimsleur Is enough to impress locals, otherwise some course in uni (CM uni has some I think)
Learn to read Thai digits and start raging at dual pricing.
learn the following phrases OP
ไม่มีถุงยางอนามัย
หลั่งข้างใน
หลั่งบนใบหน้า
ระยะเวลาอันสั้น
มากเกินไป
I hated the country. Can't imagine staying there for a week let alone learning the language. Rather learn something else. Indonesian?
Learning the monkey language like a proper cucky boy
Anything to impress that monkey you fell in love with over tinder (using passport) right
>how can I develop a serviceable level of Thai in 60 days
There's list of 1000 most used words, learn 16 words by day, done.
Thai is easy to learn, i can get understood by anyone with my broken thai third language, and people still encourage me and say they never saw a farang speaking that good.
My biggest fear was the tone, but they actually know what you mean, even if you say dog or horse instead of come (same word different tone).
There's still can be some confusion, like far and near is also the same word...
for the pronunciation งอ งู ngaw ngu can be hard to pronounce, you have to train it.
Chok dee na
No one cares fucking homo
Tx, that seems like a good tip, but also a bit difficult to maintain just learning 16 words a day with no context or usage.
No, you don't understand. Just 16 words a day. No grammar. No context. Just speak it. The locals will understand you and help you after u show effort. 16 words a day. Do it. Don't be a fat lazy balding fool with smelly dutch feet.
ok anon
I found this anki deck for exactly this purpose and it even includes pronunciations.

Well it depends what you mean by serviceable, if your goal is to order food, ask direction or have very basic conversation about the most important things, i think learning the most used words is the base, that's what baby does actually.
the context and usage are learned on site.
Fuck you've just reminded me that I need to learn Thai. I might have to do military service.
