Tip: Learning Thai the easy way with songs

Welcome back again, since today is Sunday, I would like to make this day some special post with tips to help you learn Thai language easier.

Today, I'm going to introduce you to a very well-known Thai song. The name of this song is "Chang". This word means elephant. This is a kid's song. Most Thai have heard it since a baby.

Let's see the lyric and meaning below:-

Song Name: Pleng Chang (Elephant song)

Chang Chang Chang Chang Chang
(Elephant Elephant Elephant Elephant Elephant)

Nong Kei Hen Chang Rue Plao
(Have you even seen an elephant?)

Chang Man Tua Tho Mai Bao
(An elephant has a big body)

Jamook Yao Yao Riek Wa Nguang
(Its long nose calls a trunk)

Me Kiew Tai Nguang Riek Wa Nga
(It has fangs under trunk called tusks)

Mee Hoo Mee Taa Hang Yao
(It has ears, has eyes, and a long tail)

Vocabulary:

Nong = Younger sister
Jamook = A nose
Kiew = Fangs
