Learn to speak Thai the way its spoken in Thailand! This is your guide to modern spoken Thai as it is used in everyday interactions in Thailand today--including many colorful expressions and informal phrases not found in any other phrase book.
This fully revised edition of Making Out in Thai features a pronunciation guide for beginners to be able to speak like a native speaker, updated notes on Thai language and culture, even more useful phrases for getting around Thailand, for shopping and ordering a meal and handy tips about communicating with Thais on all sorts of levels.
The phrases are organized according to typical situations and encounters, including:
- Starting a Conversation
- Discussing Likes and Dislikes
- Sharing a Meal
- Going Out on the Town
- Developing a Romantic Relationship
The phonetic pronunciation given for each phrase helps you pronounce it correctly; and in a pinch, you can show the Thai script version to the person you are speaking to. An English-Thai dictionary has also been added to vastly increase your vocabulary, while the new manga illustrations bring the phrases to life and show how they can be used in real-life situations.
Making Out in Thai brings you to a whole new level of fluency and communication!
