I'm Sick

Take a trip to a Thai university in this Comprehensible Input lesson! You’ll hear how school and university differ in Thailand, including the ages students usually attend each one, along with the day and date. The lesson then covers recovering from an illness (coughing, losing your voice and having a fever) and why a face mask is worn when going outside. You’ll also see a throat spray for coughs and a candy for fresh breath, before finishing with some comments about the pleasant weather.

มหาลัย (má-hǎa-lai) – University
ไม่สบาย (mâi sà-baai) – Unwell / Sick
