In addition to tones, the Thai language also possesses its own script, which is both fascinating and beautiful. We will introduce you to the fundamentals of Thai script, guiding you through the formation of different characters and helping you recognize common words and phrases.

Vocabulary and Grammar

Building a solid foundation of vocabulary and grammar is crucial for effective communication. Our guide includes a comprehensive vocabulary list, covering essential words and phrases for various situations, such as greetings, directions, ordering food, and bargaining at the local markets. You can also expect plenty of example sentences to help you practice and reinforce your newly acquired knowledge.

To further enhance your understanding of Thai grammar, we have included detailed explanations and examples of sentence structure, verb conjugation, and common idiomatic expressions.

The Reverse Glossary: Unlocking Thai to English Translation

"Little Miss Noi", just updated March 2017, is a revised edition of the author's humorous guide for foreigners wishing to communicate in basicThai ("Little Miss Fon"),and has an ADDITIONAL feature: a partial reverse glossary (from English to Thai). This book contains all the words in the LATEST edition of "Little Miss Fon Sat on Her Kon", and may appeal to purchasers of a much earlier edition.

To summarize, here are a few dubiously conceivable reasons to have “Little Miss Noi” on your e-reader:

--As a conversation starter to make Thais smile, and also to invite help.

--Because words that you look up in dictionaries and word books are often easily forgotten. But with a single silly verse such as “Little Miss Fon Sat on Her Kon”, you will learn ten words that you are unlikely to forget: because the verse makes you laugh.

--Many words are explained with context and commentary. The nearly 200 words are explained with over 10000 words of commentary and background.

--An economic aid, and for self-protection. When you can speak a few crucial Thai words, prices drop quite fast! You might also be able to spot or foil a scam by listening for key words.

--As a learning aid: you pronounce the word as it sounds in the book, usually by using rhyming equivalents in English rather than a pronunciation key, and give it your best shot, asking a Thai person to correct you if you are wrong.

--Because a few of these words and phrases are not to be found in many guidebooks, but are words that Thais commonly use among themselves. With their help, you may have a better idea of what's going on around you.

--Even if you already know 200 or 300 words of Thai, you may not know a few of these words, and this book will refresh and reinforce your knowledge of those words that you already do know.

--As a gift for your farang boy friend, husband, girl friend, friend.

This book is a SUBJECTIVE, non-authoritative guide roughly indicating WHICH of thousands of Thai words to focus on. Don't rely on it for accurate pronunciation: use the Internet or ask a Thai friend, and keep listening to spoken Thai. Meant for NON-PC, liberal readers with a very generous sense of humor.
