I am going to be away camping with my family for a couple of days, but before I left, I was able to make a video. Sorry I ran out of time to make the CC work, but I will try to fix that as soon as possible. So sit back and relax and enjoy the show (don’t forget to vote on the language you would like me to learn the least ->):

I love this song. It wasn’t long after getting to Thailand that I heard this song being sung by random primary kid. I don’t sing it well, but that’s ok. Below is fun phrases to learn from the song. Enjoy:

Here is my Thai Monday Post. Today I am speaking all about volunteering. I put the words down for a few the most interesting words in my little 3 minute video. For your reference I have put them down below the video as well. Enjoy:

Today is Thai Monday so the post will be entirely in Thai. The English translation will be down below in Italics. Enjoy:
วันนี้เป็นวันพิเศษที่สหรฐ เป็นวันอนุสรณ์ เป็นวันที่เราคิดถึถึงคนที่เสียชีวิดแล้ว คนหนึ่งที่ผมมักจะคิดถึงคือพ่อผม พ่อผมเป็นคนที่โดนหลายสิ่งหลายอย่าง ขาทั้งสองข้างถูกตัดออกและเขามีโรคเบาหวาน แม้เขาจะมีปัญหาเหล่านี้ เขาเป็นครูสอนและเป็นพ่ออันยิ่งใหญ่ ผมคิดถึงพ่อผมจริงๆ
Today is a special day that the U.S. Today is Memorial Day, which is the day we think about those that have passed away. One person that I usually think about today is my father. My father had many things happen to him. Both of his legs were amputated and he had diabetes. Even though he had these problems, he was a teacher and a great father. I really miss my father.

So I was watching VoiceTV, which is one of the better Thai TV channels that I can stream on my iPod, and the show was all about cars and their components. Of course it was hard for me to follow what was going on, I have a hard time following what is happening in English! As I was watching, I realized I didn’t know any of the words for anything in a car. So I fixed the problem. I found a site that taught me the vocabulary I needed. And here is a video of my new Van I just bought:
Here is a list of vocab you will need for the video (classifiers are in parenthesis) :

นี้เป็นครั้งแรกที่ผมทำโพสต์ของวันจันทร์ภาษาไทยตั้งแต่ผมรวมทั้งสองบล็อกเป็นหนึ่ง ดังนั้นผมจึงคิดว่าฉันจะใช้เวลานี้เพื่ออธิบายว่า โพสต์ของวันจันทร์และวันศุกร์จะเป็นอย่างไรจากนี้ไป ผมทำวิดีโอมากเกินไป มันยากที่จะให้ทัน ฉันยังต้องฝึกการเขียนมากขึ้น ดังนั้นผมจึงจะทำวิดีโอหเดียวต่อสัปดาห์เป็นภาษาไทยและสัปดาห์อื่น ๆ ในภาษาสเปน ฉันยังจะสลับระหว่างการพูดโดยไม่ได้เตรียมไว้และการพูดที่เตรียมไว้เพื่อให้ความหลากหลายในวิดีโอของผม เมื่อสัปดาห์ที่ผ่านมาไม่ได้ทำวิดีโอแล้วฉันจะได้ฝึกการเขียนและจัดให้มีการแปลภาษาอังกฤษเป็นอย่างดี แค่นั้น ขอบคุณสำหรับการอ่านและขอให้มีสนุกกับโพสต์ของผม
This is the first Thai Monday post since I combined the two blogs into one. So I thought I would use this time to explain how my Monday and Friday posts will work from now on. I make way too many videos. It is hard to keep up. I also need to practice writing more. Therefore I will only make one video per week, one week in Thai and the other week in Spanish. I will also switch between speaking off the cuff and speaking prepared presentations to give variety to my videos. Then on the weeks I don’t make a video, then I will practice writing and provide the English Translation as well. Thats it. Thanks for reading and enjoy the language posts.

I am making some changes here as my blog is growing and adapting. So here are a couple of announcements for your benefit(the picture is just a nice picture. Enjoy!)
I am taking a week off Thai Mondays
What you are taking a week off? Yeah yeah I know, but there is a good reason. I enjoy talking about things, but from now on I am giving my Thai Monday videos a much bigger purpose! From now on my videos are going to be about something I am working on that week. Learning more vocabulary about the kitchen or politics. What ever it may be Thai monday is going to be more than just a way to show off my Thai skills. Thai Monday will be a learning tool for me and hopefully all those who follow my blog. Watch out for the first one next Monday.
Speaking of things on hold.
Just for your information, I do have my Second Thai podcast available soon, but my Laptop’s screen shattered and my external monitor plug is broken as well. Until I can raise the funds for a new screen, it is on hold. I have decided that my podcasts will stay free on this blog forever. All I want to do is hopefully help people learn to speak Thai, who maybe would never have done it before. If I can be a benefit to the Thai language learning community, than I will be all the more happy!
It wasn’t much, but look out for these changes coming on soon!
