  • I finally left my bedroom and went to Thailand to speak Thai to Thai People!
    I also met some elephants, monkeys, and had a serious...family surprise!

    I watched your 6 months to fluency video (for french, which was super inspirational) and got conversational in Thai in 9 months 😂 Finally a video related to Thai!! I’m so excited!

      Damn... I'm only 13, was born in Canada, but I speak Spanish and Portuguese fluently.. I'm really interested in learning french, but it's too hard.. I only know a few words.
      Do you have any tips to learn languages like french?

      - D4ʀkɳɛss ;;
      I speak 8 languages:
      English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hakka- C2/native
      Thai, Korean-B2
      French A2-B1
      Malay A1
      Each language has its own learning method, but in general, this is what I do:
      In the beginning phase, I would go for a beginner’s program that is effective (just like what Ikenna always recommends)
      When I reach a phase where I got the hang of generally how the language works, I start searching all over the internet for resources and reading materials, and start using italki🌟
      eg TTMIK/ howtostudykorean/ clare you intermediate korean/ womenlearnthai etc.
      I make a google sheet jotting down everything I learnt on it, with one column being the TL and one with translations, then I import everything to Quizlet (for learning the words) and Smartcards+ (for long term memory just like Anki)
      I studied French at school, so I didn’t use this method (equivalent to Ikenna’s Spanish experience)
      As for Korean, I got to B2 in 5.5 months (by using the above mentioned) and Thai B2 in 10 months (I started watching Ikenna’s videos when I was 5 months in learning Thai at university 🌧 so my progress went slower...)
      *I highly recommend italki though, if you’re interested here’s a link for you

    I'm Thai. But I think a Thai language is harder than Japanese and other languages that I were learned before lol. and Ikenna is my inspiration to learn a language by myself. (I'm only 15 but I can speak more than 4 languages haha. I'm so proud myself)

    @fabianklingelfuss1830 Před 4 lety +54

    Man... finally do I have a language that you spoked not so good as usual!! the thing with Thaï is that, if your pronunciation is just a little bit off, then you will be very hard to understand.
    When you said beautiful: "Suu aii" even I knew you tried to say beautiful I had did understand until your 3rd time saying it..

    • @nickxenix
      @nickxenix Před 4 lety +1

      If you said it a bit off it will sound more like "suu ai" which means screwed or unlucky. So you say to a thai woman that she is "suu ai" then she will hear it as she is screwed/unlucky.

    I'm half Thai, my mother is Thai and I do feel a bit ashamed that I can't speak it even a little bit other than string few words together. If you struggle with communicating with Thai people, you can use translators to speak with them. It doesn't have to be perfectly on point, they understand what you want from the rough translation. Thai people are naturally helpful, even when they don't know or can't solve something for you, they want to help regardless.
