Of course after one month my Thai is not that fluent. Or existent. However I do know some things. For example, no matter what sentence if you are polite you finish your sentence with ka or kab, Ka for girls, kab for boys.
This is 'phonetis', there is no way I'll be able to write in Thai alphabet...
Hello - sa was dee ka/kab
How much - Tao rai ka/kab
thank you - ko pun ka/kab
sorry - koe tod ka/kab
not spicy - mai ped ka/kab
spicy - ped
yes - ka/kab
no - mai
teacher - krew
listen - fung ka/kab
Since Thai is a tonal language some words can mean up to five or six different things which would explain the laughter the kids had when I tried to say somethings...
