I love Khmer, and it makes me happy to see other people wanting to learn it too! PM me your email address and I will send you the reading/writing resource and the accompanying audio tomorrow (it's late here now)! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Hey everyone, I'm back from my vacation!
I've started putting together a "resources" post (see the 2nd post in the thread), which I will be adding to as time goes on. Just want to add, among other things, that I'm really glad/impressed about how much love Khmer is getting in this thread :) It's always fun (at least for me, as a language nerd) to see people taking interested in less common languages. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I knew I couldn't resist... If you still accept new members, I'd like to sign up with Thai. I've been learning for a few years already. My goal is simple: I'd like to improve. My log can be found here.
I've seen the resources at the beginning of this thread and like the idea! Here are a few more resources for Thai: Two longdo dictionaries: here and here (not sure what the difference is, both are good and almost identical) An excellent dictionary and website (with lots of other stuff to explore): thai-language.com The monolingual Royal Institute Dictionary, which is integrated into the longdo dictionaries above as well Australia's SBS Thai podcast GLOSS has a few Thai lessons VoA news articles (recordings and transcripts) on selfstudythai.com Spoken Thai with transcripts on thairecordings.com (shameless plug for my own project) And the mother of all free Thai resources: WLT Edited by Bakunin on 09 January 2014 at 9:15am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Nice to see you here, Bakunin. I like longdo as well, and thai-language.com is an interesting project, something I've also been meaning to explore.

If anyone is interested in learning the Isan dialect of Lao that's spoken in Thailand's
Northeast (Isan) I can recommend the book by Asger Mollerup. It's pretty accurate about the difference between Thai and Lao and even within Isan. I can speak some of the Isan dialect and for those traveling within Isan and into Laos it really does help. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

A bit of comedy (anyone learning a tonal language will appreciate this):

writing/script, including info about tones etc. I learned the Thai script gradually via the Teach Yourself Thai course. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Neat video, doubleUelle!
Craig Lillard is right, Vietnamese is pretty whacked-out. Funny though, he would probably be pretty good at it - a talent for mimicry must help. This can remind us that speaking a foreign language is all about performance. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
