One thing that I have been writing about is my practice of counting in Thai. I reached up to 999 in my last update. I can count up to 9999999 now. Thai is interesting because there is a word for ten thousand & one hundred thousand. I developed a way for me to remember the order and name of each number.
The learning aid is inspired or chosen because PMS exists. I don't know want it is. All I know is that it is a girl thing, and it messes with their emotions. I also add an R to the left, and a L on the right of PMS; RPMSL. Some things are backwards in the Thai language, so R, standing for 'right' hand, and L for 'left' hand is backward. L is not on the left, and R is not on the right of the acronym PMS.
R stands for 100, which is pronounced Roy. The 'R' is rolled, but it is a very quick one. P stands for the word phan, which is 1000. The H is less emphasized. The ph does not make a F sound, or you will bring your significant other into your high digit numbers. 10,000 is pronounced 'muen'. The U is wierd in this word. I don't know an English word to illustrate the sound. 'San' is the word for 100,000 dollars. That word is simple, and 1,000,000 is simple too as it is pronounced 'Lan'.
I like to practice the number 1,234,567 or ๑,๒๓๔,๕๖๗. It is pronounced Neng Lan Song San Sam Muen Si Phan Ha Roy Hok Sip Jet.
๑ = 1 (Neng)
๑,๐๐๐,๐๐๐ = one million (Lan)
๒ = 2 (Song)
๑๐๐,๐๐๐ = one hundred thousand (San)
๓ = 3 (Sam)
๑๐,๐๐๐ = ten thousand (Muen)
๔ = 4 (Si)
๑,๐๐๐ = one thousand (Phan)
๕ = 5 (Ha)
๑๐๐ = one hundred (Roy)
๖ = 6 (Hok)
๑๐ = ten (Sib)
๗ = 7 (jet)
R(100)
P(1,000)
M(10,000)
S(100,000)
L(1,000,000)
I actually think counting in Thai is more simple than English. Many things are more simple in Thai.
