To give you a break from my amateurish writing skills, I’ve written up a word match quiz to give you practice and test your vocabulary.
Below is a list of very common Thai words that any beginner should know. On the right are the Thai equivalents, written in Thai, but mixed up. Print this out, then draw a line from the English word on the left to match it with the Thai word on the right.
If you cannot yet read Thai, use your favorite Thai-English dictionary for help.
