Thai listening speed
120-160 words a minute
Medium speed Thai
Real Thai at normal speed. Polite words often get shorter, and change with who is talking.
Real Thai sounds different from Thai in lessons. Friends use short, simple words with each other. People also use different words for I and you, based on how close they are. Thai TV shows are good practice. The actors speak clearly, but talk like real people. Talk shows and interviews sound the same way. Listen for how people say I and you, it tells you about their relationship.
