It's difficult to get a good thread going for less popular languages; meanwhile, general
'multilingual' lounges can be too broad, with too many unrelated languages being thrown together. This thread is for languages spoken in the northern part of southeast Asian - Thai, Cambodian (Khmer), Vietnamese and Burmese. My hope is that, by lumping together several less popular languages, we can get enough people participating that this thread that it will survive for a long time, and people who want to practice Thai/Viet/Khmer/Burmese won't have to start a new, short-lived thread every time. ฉันเรียนภาษาไทย กรุณาถูกต้องความผิดข องฉัน!

(The 'kong chan' at the end of that sentence should be spaced together. It's adding in a
random space that I didn't add. I have tried to edit it several times, but it's still keeping the space there. I don't know what's going on.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes, that's a known problem around here. The forum software doesn't accept long strings, it inserts spaces at regular intervals. I guess this was implemented to prevent posting links, but it backfires for languages like Thai and Japanese. If you're after getting your writing corrected, have you thought about joining lang-8? I usually get good quality corrections within a few hours. It's free, but it only works if you help learners of your native language as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have thought of joining lang-8 at some point. For now, in addition to this website,
I've joined SharedTalk, which allows people to do text chats and voice chats in various languages. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm a heritage speaker of Thai and I always find it interesting when people learn Thai as a second/foreign language. It isn't the easiest language to learn and its writing system is no walk in the park either.
To correct your sentence, while "กรุณา" does mean "please", it's more natural to say "ช่วย" ("to help") in informal contexts when asking somebody to do something. You'll often hear "กรุณา" or "โปรด" (both meaning "please"), in public announcements and written in signs but not usually in informal conversation. "ถูกต้อง" does mean "correct" but it is an adjective, not a verb (the noun version will be "ความถูกต้อง"). Usually people will say "แก้" ("to fix/amend") in this situation. Note: the word "ซ่อม" also means "to fix/repair" but it used for tangible things such as bicycles or cars. So without modifying or further editing your sentence, "ฉันเรียนภาษาไทย ช่วยแก้ความผิดของฉัน " Edited by Tetsu on 02 December 2013 at 2:37am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
