Glitch<p>Aw yeah. I’m proud of me. For reasons of still learning how to navigate the keyboard, i dictated instead, and my pronunciation —and tones, in particular was enough for it to properly write out both พี่ and ผี. (And for funzies i did it again there).</p><p>Like, i did learn tones for Mandarin but that was over 25 years ago. And this was picking up the tones by ear. <br>(Also my understanding is it’s not 1:1. So there’s also that.)</p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LanguageLearning</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/ThaiLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThaiLanguage</span></a></p>

timothy<p>Finished the book! It took 3.5 months or an average of 2.5 pages a day. I could have been quicker but was keeping a list of unfamiliar or interesting vocabulary in <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ThaiLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThaiLanguage</span></a> plus I went off on many tangents to look up information.</p><p>The book discusses recent events in <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Myanmar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Myanmar</span></a> (though was written before the coup in 2021). The English language title is The Hidden History of Burma: Race, Capitalism, and the Crisis of Democracy in the 21st Century.</p><p>Now time for something less heavy...</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Burma" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Burma</span></a></p>
timothy<p>From the <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ThaiLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThaiLanguage</span></a> press (Matichon Online) who in turn picked up the story from someone&#39;s social media post.</p><p>This 8.5 kilogram cat supposedly fell from the sixth floor of a condominium and through the rear window of a parked car below. </p><p>The cat emerged completely unscathed. Netizens have named it &quot;Meteor Cat&quot;.</p><p>อุกกาบาต meteor<br />แมว cat</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/catsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>catsOfMastodon</span></a><br /><a href="https://toad.social/tags/Thailand" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Thailand</span></a></p>
timothy<p>Some vocabulary from the signs:</p><p>- พระเยซู Jesus<br />- กลับใจ turn away from, repent, literally &quot;return the heart &quot;<br />- บาป sin<br />- จะเสร็จ will finish (act of completion in the future )<br />- มาอีก to come again <br />- ไถ่ redeem <br />- เชื่อ believe<br />- ชีวิตนิรันดร์ eternal life </p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/ThaiLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThaiLanguage</span></a></p>
timothy<p>These evangelical signs are littered all over my area. And probably yours too if you are in <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Thailand" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Thailand</span></a></p><p>Most people who do not actively read <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ThaiLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThaiLanguage</span></a> signs will not know this, but just look around. They&#39;re very distinctive and they are everywhere!</p><p>- จงกลับใจจากบาป You must turn away from sin.</p><p>- พระเยซูจะเสร็จมาอีก Jesus will come again.</p><p>- พระเยซูเป็นผู้ไถ่บาป Jesus is the redeemer of sin.</p><p>- เชื่อพระเยซูรับชีวิตนิรันดร์ Believe in Jesus, receive eternal life.</p><p>(Vocab list in follow up)</p>
timothy<p>Some <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ThaiLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThaiLanguage</span></a> vocabulary from taken from a Thai Rath (media) online story this morning:</p><p>จ่ายเงินปิดปาก to pay hush money<br />- จ่าย pay<br />- เงิน money<br />- ปิด to close<br />- ปาก mouth</p><p>คณะลูกขุนใหญ่ grand jury<br />- คณะ council<br />- ลูกขุน jury<br />- ใหญ่ large</p><p>ตั้งข้อหาคดีอาญา criminally indict<br />- ตั้ง to lay down<br />- ข้อหา charges<br />- คดี legal case<br />- อาญา criminal (adj.)</p><p>อัยการ prosecutor</p><p>ทนายความ lawyer</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/%E0%B8%A0%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B2%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A2" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ภาษาไทย</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%90" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ไทยรัฐ</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%A8%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%97%E0%B9%8C" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>คำศัพท์</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>language</span></a></p>
timothy<p>I picked up a used <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Dell" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Dell</span></a> OptiPlex desktop PC a few months ago following hardware problems with my Chromebook.

Dr Mark Bahnisch<p>This is great <a href="https://fediphilosophy.org/tags/languageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>languageLearning</span></a> content!
