I wanna know what's your problem? Some of of us are prolly gonna have some questions we wanna answer for.


For foks sake wanna/gonna/prolly is how many of us speak, why do people get upset when non native speakers use our slang or our lazy way of speaking. Understanding is the first priority. Who on this thread doesn't understand the meaning of wanna?


Big welcome to ครู Ae. (Did I spell khru correctly?).

What no answers to the previous Questions?

Dear Smet,

I thing it's the nature of human to be exciting and sometime serious to learn the new things,and the atmosphere around teaching places will help you (from my past experience in learning japanese, teacher is the best one to motivate my mind) ... think positive

Kroo Ae,

Dear all,

I'm so sorry if some of my comment maybe causes of conflict in here. I'm the thai native teacher who try to develop myself to be the better teacher who teach in English...then I'm accept that my English skills is still not reach to the best ( but I'm not give up if you dare me to test Thai Grammar or any Thai literacy... )

The topic about : want to = wanna / going to = gonna / etc, ... I'm accept both of your guys comments, and I'll use them all ... if I write the letter to my boss or to apply the new job, I'll write the formal one...I promise. However, after I read Teakdoor forum many times, I feel warm and familiar with you all, so can I use gonna or wanna with you? Please.

* Thanks for klongmaster for your advise about the way to spell "Khru", but my school use the slightly different phonetic system to teach our student, then I have to stay "Kroo" follow our individual system.

** Thanks for Plan B about every cheerful comment that I appreciate, furthermore, your phrase " Big welcome to ครู Ae " ... you write it ablolutely correct ! >>>

Have a nice dream,
นอนหลับฝันดี...

Hello Kru Ae,

Yeah Smeg, and you are a beacon of maturity.....

Dear Smeg,

I would like to answer what you wonder about 'farang' word. I am not sure what is the exactly true story but I have heard from my teacher when i was in high school. She told us in the class that 'farang" is the word that we called the foreigners who came to Thailand for the first empire like French. I would say " the modern word farang is DERIVED from the original commercial contacts vistiing Thailand who were Frenchmen. Then refered to generallly as Farance, meaning Frenchman and became "Farang" as in present. So Thai will call
European appearance that "Farang"

Kroo Ae

Isn't "farang" an impolite or at least informal way to address a foreigner?

^ oh no. The Thais mistake us blokes for French people. How dreadful

Farang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dear K.Fabian,

It doean't matter. It is a common word to call them but we have Thai word to call foregner also "Chaaw-dtaang-chaat" or " Chaaw-dtaang-bpra-ted". You can say "farang but after you learn Thai from me today. You better try to use proper word as I suggest.

Best regards,
Kroo Ae

I have to try to use the correct words anyway. My wife has studied linguistics and she will correct me all the time when I am saying something improper or incorrectly.

Thanks for your advise.
