But (foreign words) calm down, take it easy, okay?
(foreign words) I know difficult, but later you will know
all easy, same as I know in English, (foreign words) okay?
This we can talk about body parts are worthy of different
level of respect.
Yes, that is true for Thai people, right?
Manner is very important.
The way you act, the way you talk need to be
neat and perfect.
For example how Thai people talk we're going to keep
the hand, we will not talk like this, like this.
I have bad habit so I cannot keep my hand, yes.
Yes we will keep the hand.
If you are like do this, do this, it's too much.
But maybe different from your culture.
Maybe this is really good in your culture,
something like that.
Let's talk about this one (foreign words).
(foreign words) means head right?
Head is the most highest part of your body.
Thai people, we are wary to touch people head.
Even when that person older than you or younger than you.
You need to watch that person head if by accident
like sorry (foreign words).
If a kid, young kid okay, sometime touching the kid head
is to show your kindness but not for a stranger kid, okay.
Kind of scary for that.
If you know that kid or that kid is in your family,
of course you can touch the head to show that
you're kind to them, you love them like this.
Okay head is for really important part.
For example, if you are sit and I need to walk pass,
I need to do like this.
Don't try, I not try to make my head is higher
than your head.
This is the first thing okay?
That's why you're going to see Thai people or older people
or younger people, we try to lower the body a little bit
just because the head.
Even like my mom or some people in my family like mom,
I should hack her.
I can do everything right, yeah I can hack her,
but I will never touch her head.
Even my mom ask me to do something with her hair
like tuck her hair, I can (foreign words) first
to pay respect for that.
Allow me to do this, okay and then do that.
This is the head and next one hand and finger, yes.
Do like this only one finger when you point something
oh this one, this one, this one, it's rude.
But I know sometime you just don't know right?
Just do it by accident, I like that.
That person is my friend like this.
But be better to palm your hand.
Same thing when you introduce some people,
you do this it's kind of really rude.
So palm your hand.
This person is my friend, blah, blah, blah.
Also when you want to show guide a temple,
that temple might be, so you need to do this anyway.
That's why point to someone or when you want to show
something you do this, it's better.
Also for the thing, for something that's okay for this.
I like that, I like this, I like this.
But not for people, try to avoid not using for people, okay?
Finger and hand.
And next one for animal okay also like one finger
but later all your hand.
And (foreign words) with your feet, that is really
really rude okay.
Your feet are like something you need to keep.
Don't you take it out okay, your feet.
Passing item, this is not too much, but some people
they still believe when passing things with hand
because that hand we use in the bathrooms,
things like that.
That's why we're gonna use right hand to pass things.
We pass things with hand only, not with your feet.
That's so rude.
If you pass something for older people you need to
bow your head a little bit.
(foreign words) Like this and also two hands
also polite when you pass something to them.
One hand, which way that is fine but for older people
two hand, that is more polite.
When you use two hand you feel like you're more attention
and have more care about that and put this
and bow your head a little bit.
One thing also fine, but okay same thing.
And the foot, this is the lower part of your body.
Never show your foot for anything.
Even when we sit down if you go to Thai temple
you're going to see the way we sit in a temple.
We will try to keep your feet behind, right?
Try to be behind.
We will not sit or or make some portion
make your feet point to the Buddha or some people.
Feet is lower part.
For example a book, the book is very important thing.
We will not walk across, scoot back or like some books
or some people like this is not really nice.
Try to hide your feet when you sit.
Even when you sit on chair we will not really cross leg
because when you cross your leg that leg going
to point to some person.
That's why sitting nicely, yes.
Put your feet somewhere under the seat
or under the chair.
This is what we do.
In Thai, we take off the shoe when we go inside someplace.
We take off the shoe like go to the temple,
go to someone house.
We take off the shoe yes.
This is some part of body like the thing I want to do it.
About showing face like that, that's what we learned before
about feeling, right?
Showing face, we're not really show like we're angry.
We just like okay be calm, be calm.
But it depend if you can control or not, yes.
But you should do it because we were taught
from Mom and Dad when we were young.
You should forgive people, don't do that.
Something like this, that's why we become like this.
We look kind and we also shy.
This is for Thai people personality.
Kind and shy, not more confident.
(foreign words) You know what (foreign words),
kind, shy.
Something like this has a nice
but you will never know if you're angry
or something like that.
Some book, they write about 100 smile,
100 type smile from Thai people because this smile is mean
(foreign words), this smile is other feeling.
This smile other way.
This is what some people write about Thai people
when they smile and that is true.
Yes that is true.
Also do like this is not, can you see?
When you do like this, when you talk with adult
that is not good thing to do.
You cannot do this because you're angry when you put
your body it means like you're angry what you say.
This is like a cross, you cross like this.
Okay, okay that's I listen, but I do not follow.
This is what we feel.
So do like this is not so good.
If you study in the classroom and doing like this,
teacher hey, what are you doing?
That has happened to me before because I'm not really
careful about my hand.
Yeah, this is my bad habit but I try, I really try
with Thai people.
If you see really Thai girl will act odd with something
like crazy like this.
Even the way we talk, smile, we have I'm gonna be with
the person who teach you phonics like this.
When you walk you need to walk, don't put your right heel.
You need to walk without your heel making sound like this.
That is mean you can be like a good girl.
The list or something like this.
You not walk with your heel.
When you talk your face is beautiful.
You not make your mouth wider.
When you laugh it's not like have a funny sound from you.
It's just like (giggles).
What are Thai girl, what a perfect Thai girl laugh,
(giggles), not make a sound as much.
Manner is really important in Thai.
Yes, if for me no I just fail for this.
But I have some friend, she's so perfect for this
the way she walk, the way she talk and it's beautiful
like an angel.
You see okay so right now you know some part
of Thai culture.
I give you homework this time.
Next page you see the picture, right?
You need to fill the word, okay?
And next time I'm gonna check your homework together.
I mean we're gonna write together.
Today (foreign words).
I'm really glad you studied Thai and (foreign words).
