| Jessi: meaning "you" in English. |
| Pim: (Slow, by syllable) khun |
| Jessi: Listen again and repeat. |
| Pim: khun |
| {Pause} |
| Jessi: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is- |
| Pim: cháawp |
| Jessi: meaning "like" |
| Pim: (Slow, by syllable) cháawp |

| Pim: (Slow, by syllable) aa-hǎan |
| Jessi: Now repeat. |
| Pim: aa-hǎan |
| {Pause} |

| Pim: (Slow, by syllable) thai |
| Jessi: Now repeat. |
| Pim: thai |
| {Pause} |

| {pause} |
| Jessi: And after that, |
| Pim: mǎi |
| Jessi: a particle indicating a yes/no question |
| Pim: (Slow, by syllable) mǎi |
| Jessi: Now repeat. |
| Pim: mǎi |
| {Pause} |
| Pim: Listen to the first five words of the question and repeat. |
| Pim: khun cháawp aa-hǎan thai mǎi |
| {pause} |
| Jessi: And next ... |
| Pim: khá |
| Jessi: a polite ending particle for female speakers for questions and requests |
| Pim: (Slow, by syllable) khá |
| Jessi: Now repeat. |
| Pim: khá |
| {Pause} |
| Jessi: Now listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Pim: khun cháawp aa-hǎan thai mǎi khá |
| {pause} |
| Jessi: To answer this question in a negative way and say “No, I don’t,” just say mǎi cháawp khâ if you’re a female, and mǎi cháawp khráp if you’re a male. |
| Jessi: Let's break it our original response from the beginning. The first word ... |
| Pim: cháawp |
| Jessi: means "to like" |
| Pim: (Slow, by syllable) cháawp |
| Jessi: Now repeat. |
| Pim: cháawp |
| {Pause} |
| Jessi: And next... |
| Pim: khâ |
| Jessi: a sentence ending particle that increase the level of politeness when the speaker is a female. |

| Pim: dì-chǎn |
| {Pause} |
| Jessi: And next, |
| Pim: cháawp |
| Jessi: means "to like" |
| Pim: (Slow, by syllable) cháawp |
| Jessi: Now repeat. |
| Pim: cháawp |
| {Pause} |
| Jessi: Next is... |
| Pim: phàt-thai |
| Jessi: meaning "Pad Thai" |

| Pim: mâak |
| {Pause} |
| Jessi: Listen to the speaker say "Yes, I love Pad Thai." and then repeat. |
| Pim: cháawp khâ dì-chǎn cháawp phàt-thai mâak |
| {Pause} |
| Jessi: This is how you would say "Yes, I love Pad Thai." if you are a female; if you are a male, simply replace the word dì-chǎn with the word phǒm, “I” in English. Also, don’t forget to change khá to khráp. |
| Now, listen to the entire response as you would say it if you’re a male, and repeat. |
| Pim: cháawp khráp phǒm cháawp phàt-thai mâak |
| Jessi: To expand on the pattern, replace "Pad Thai" with "Tom Yum Kung." |
| Pim: dtôm-yam-gûng |
| Jessi: "Tom Yum Kung" |
| Pim: (slow) dtôm-yam-gûng (regular) dtôm-yam-gûng |
| Jessi: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "Tom Yum Kung." |
| Pim: cháawp khâ dì-chǎn cháawp dtôm-yam-gûng mâak |
| Jessi: It mostly stays the same, simply replace "Pad Thai.” Say "Yes, I love Tom Yum Kung." |
| {pause} |
| Pim: cháawp khâ dì-chǎn cháawp dtôm-yam-gûng mâak |
| Jessi: Remember, this is how to answer the question if you’re a female. If you’re male, use phǒm instead of dì-chǎn. Now let’s try it with a masculine version. |
| Jessi: To expand on the pattern, replace "Tom Yum Kung" with "Chicken Massaman Curry." |
| Pim: gaaeng mát-sà-màn gài |
| Jessi: "Chicken Massaman Curry" |
| Pim: (slow) gaaeng mát-sà-màn gài (regular) gaaeng mát-sà-màn gài |
| Jessi: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "Chicken Massaman Curry." |
| Pim: cháawp khráp phǒm cháawp gaaeng mát-sà-màn gài mâak |
| Jessi: Replace the phrase for "Tom Yum Kung" and make rest of the sentence masculine. Say, "Yes, I love Chicken Massaman Curry." |
| {pause} |
| Pim: cháawp khráp phǒm cháawp gaaeng mát-sà-màn gài mâak |
| Jessi: To expand on the pattern, replace "Chicken Massaman Curry" with "Stir-Fry Pork with Basil." |
| Pim: phàt-gà-phrao-mǔu |
| Jessi: "Stir-Fry Pork with Basil" |
| Pim: (slow) phàt-gà-phrao-mǔu (regular) phàt-gà-phrao-mǔu |
| Jessi: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "Stir-Fry Pork with Basil." |

| {pause} |
| Pim: cháawp khráp phǒm cháawp phàt-gà-phrao-mǔu mâak |
| Jessi: Ok! Now it's time for a quiz. Imagine you're visiting Thailand and someone asks if you like Thai food. You’re a female speaker and you want to answer that you like Pad Thai. Respond to the question. |
| Pim: khun cháawp aa-hǎan thai mǎi khá (five seconds) cháawp khâ dì-chǎn cháawp phàt-thai mâak |
| Jessi: Imagine you’re a female speaker and you want to say that you like Tom Yum Kung. Respond to the question. |
