Places

Learn the Thai words for everyday places in this beginner-friendly lesson! First you'll hear the names of common places such as home, the workplace, the park, restaurants, the cinema, the mall, the temple, the police station, the coffee shop, the market, and school. Then travel from place to place, repeating three simple sentence patterns so you can say where you are, where you're going, and where you've come from.

Thai Vocabulary:
สถานที่ (sà-thǎan-thîi) – Place
อยู่ที่ (yùu thîi) – To be at
จะไป (jà bpai) – Will go to
มาจาก (maa jàak) – To come from

Clear, slow repetition makes this lesson ideal for building confidence with your first Thai sentences. At the end, try answering questions yourself: where are you now, and where are you going?

Watch and listen as buttons are pressed, the mouse is clicked, scrolled and lifted, batteries are swapped in a Bluetooth mouse, and a document is typed in Microsoft Word, right through to closing without saving and shutting down.
