Tree Climbing

A monkey comes to the neighbour’s house to help harvest coconuts! In this Thai story, watch as the monkey climbs one coconut tree after another, twisting the coconuts and throwing them down to the ground. Yim, Tim, Daisy and their parents all come to watch, and everyone talks about which trees they have climbed before: mango trees, papaya trees… and in Daisy’s case, something rather unexpected! Along the way, you’ll hear useful Thai words for trees, fruit and climbing, and practise talking about experiences with ไม่เคย (mâi kəəi) – “have never”.

Thai Vocabulary:
ลิง (ling) – Monkey
มะพร้าว (má-práao) – Coconut
ปีน (piin) – To climb
เพื่อนบ้าน (pʉ̂an bâan) – Neighbour
ตู้เย็น (tûu yen) – Refrigerator

Help and Share Each Other

Who’s going to take out the rubbish? In this family story, Tim, Yim and Daisy keep passing household chores to each other, from taking out the trash and washing the dishes to buying cooking oil for Mum, until their parents step in. Then Yim and Daisy squabble over a chocolate bar and the TV remote, and even Mum and Dad try to pass the job of staying home with the kids onto each other! Along the way, you’ll hear natural Thai about family life, chores, sharing, days of the week and telling the time.
