A bunch more vids from today. I’m trying to get a few of the older ones transcribed. More on that soon.

Aug 5 – Video
August 6, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Bunch of new vids from yesterday. My busy-ness level is getting pretty insane. Feedback on vids on my youtube channel would be very much appreciated. Tell me what you like and what you don’t like so I can make this thing better. Its a lot of work for me to rope native speakers into doing this on a regular basis without pay and to keep them showing up. Especially since none of the Thai speakers (that I’m aware of) ever bother to check the vids unless I actually show them.
There are quite a few clips today so I’m going to avoid posting them all here. Just check out the latest vids on my channel below.
Still More Vids – Thai
July 24, 2009 by Leave a Comment
So I’m super busy right now as I’m moving and have a bunch of projects going on, but should still be able to get new vids up twice a week. Wednesday’s Thai session turned out pretty awful so I’m posting a couple vids from July 18th that I had sitting around.
A few notes about the Julia Roberts vid –
Notice that she uses a lot of English words in this clip. This is pretty normal in Thai.
เสียงดัง means a loud noise/sound
ออกเสียง can mean ‘to pronounce’ ‘to make a noise’ ‘to vote for/elect’
มีชื่อเสียง means to be famous or well-known (Mnemonic – A noisy name tends to be well known)
A person who is ดัง is also well-known or famous.

And here is another one. I was looking through Stuff magazine (Thai version) and they were selling a hoverboard.

Speaking Thai Clips: Working at a Pharmacy and H1N1 Flu
July 19, 2009 by 2 Comments
Here are 2 short clips of Boo speaking Thai. In the first video I asked her to talk about what it’s like interacting with customers at the pharmacy where she works (She is a pharmacist).
In the 2nd video, Boo talks about H1N1 flu which was big news in 2009 while we were filming these videos.
Language Space Continues

The group has been taking a different direction lately. As the number of people coming fluctates considerably, we’ve been messing around with a few different things.
Not all of these vids are interesting, but its material. If anybody has a request for a topic, we can give it a try.

The next 2 are a bit different. The questions are in Thai, but the answers are in Korean. Fun stuff.
