This is a user-friendly and concise Thai phrase book and guide to
Thai slang and Thai curses. The Thai people love fun and laughter.
They appreciate foreigners who speak their language. But how would
they react to foreigners who throw insults in the Thai language and
know how to make them blush at the use of direct and vulgar Thai
words? This Thai phrasebook, while designed to teach non-Thais to
understand that spoken language on the street or in everyday life,
also teaches powerful words that could easily get them punched in
the face-probably worse. So, be cautious. This little book contains
powerful words. A non-Thai, especially a Westerner, will appreciate
the opportunity to learn some really strong and direct language
that his Thai colleagues would rather he not know. Learn how to
call someone hot or ugly, a walrus or a potbelly, stupid or a
hypocrite. Know how to put off lechers by saying "piss off!" in the
strongest possible way. Intended for just about anyone who wants to
get the most reactions from any Thai within hearing distance, this
book is simply the best reference you need to survive Thailand. Not
just a simple phrasebook, Outrageous Thai teaches how to really
speak Thai, and understand the Thai language. Know what Thais
really mean and answer back. Features of this Thai phrasebook are:
Compact travel size. Hundreds of colorful Thai phrases organized by
topic and use . Extensive explanations of context and culture. All
phrases are shown in written Thai script, Romanized Thai and
English. Intended for students of all levels and anyone interested
in how Thai is really spoken, this book is absolutely indispensable
for foreigners who live in Thailand and want to know what is being
said when someone insults you in Thai!
"God Made This/Dieu a fait ceci" is an English/French bilingual
book for children. This is Volume 5 in the series and this is Level
1 for infants to toddlers. The books in this juvenile non-fiction
series are intended to teach reading in two languages; they are not
"story" books. This book includes single words and pairs of words
for the ear training of infants as well as toddlers. The pictures
help infants associate sounds with symbols--images at first and
ultimately words at the toddler level and beyond. Toddlers will be
able to repeat words, word pairs, phrases, and brief sentences
aided by the picture cues. They will gradually be able to read the
words using the printed word as their cue. This volume presents
images of the natural world around us and are of high interest to
young children. The natural environment, earth, sky, water
features, animals, flowers, fruits, vegetables, and a variety of
types of people are included. The book teaches that "God made
this." Color photos and illustrations were carefully selected to
captivate your child's interest. Words and sentences were
judiciously chosen and crafted to facilitate learning for both age
groups. Words are re-entered throughout the book to help your child
feel a sense of accomplishment. It is suggested that only one
language be read at a time. Start with the child's first or
"maternal" language for several reading sessions, then introduce
the second language. At no time should the two languages be read
during the same session. This volume should be of interest to
English speakers who want to teach their child(ren) French as well
as French speakers who wish to teach their child(ren) English. In
addition, speakers of other languages will find the book useful for
teaching their child(ren) both French and English. The books are
ideal for day care centers, preschools, and elementary schools that
offer or wish to include bilingual education or ESL in their
educational programs. These bilingual print books and ebooks are
suitable for the bilingual education of young people from infant to
early elementary school. These bilingual print books and ebooks for
children can play a major role in any bilingual or ESL education
program for children. There are four levels for each topic or title
making it easier for ESL or bilingual children to progress from one
level to the next. Level 1 is for infants and toddlers and would be
primarily read by parents. Level 2 is for toddlers and
pre-schoolers and could be used by parents for the younger children
or by day care and pre-school personnel in environments where an
English/French bilingual component is included in the program.
Level 3 is for pre-schoolers through kindergarten. And level 4 is
intended for K-2. There is a full range of topics, 20 volumes in
all, in the series of English/French print and ebooks that provide
a thorough preparation in English/French education. Offering
children's print books as well as children's ebooks provides
parents, caregivers, and teachers with a choice and flexibility of
format to meet the needs of child education. Children's bilingual
print books have the advantage of convenience of use while
