Hi, I'm View from 'Point of View' Channel.

0:00:02.400,0:00:06.200
Now I'm in Youtube creator Summit in Korea.

0:00:06.360,0:00:08.760
As I come to this great event, meeting Youtubers

0:00:08.880,0:00:11.100
and all of them are interested

0:00:11.320,0:00:15.800
So today I have a special opportunity to invite a famous Youtuber to feature in my channel.

0:00:16.060,0:00:19.160
This youtuber, she own an English teaching channel which is really good.

0:00:19.320,0:00:19.840
So

0:00:20.200,0:00:23.180
Let have a look. What will happen when Thai and English language meet!

0:00:23.180,0:00:26.880
Are you ready for something both educational and enjoyable?

0:00:27.100,0:00:28.900
If you ready then...let's go!

0:00:30.020,0:00:32.980
Thai idioms vs English idioms

0:00:33.240,0:00:36.980
I'm Emma from mmmEnglish. I am an English teacher

0:00:37.120,0:00:40.840
I teach on YouTube you can find my channel mmmEnglish

0:00:41.040,0:00:48.520
So we got a challenge here English versus Thai and it's too easy if you just challenge in normal language

0:00:48.760,0:00:54.480
So there's something called idioms that in Thai is สำนวน . And you can't translate it directly

0:00:54.699,0:00:59.369
So maybe you could try me with English idiom first

0:00:59.370,0:01:06.720
Yeah, English idioms are really challenging because they don't often mean that anything similar to the words that they use in them

0:01:06.720,0:01:10.799
Well, you have a head start of me because you understand English

0:01:11.010,0:01:15.239
I don't understand Thai so it's a little unfair. Give me heart one

0:01:15.240,0:01:20.189
but okay if I said that something was up in the air

0:01:20.799,0:01:25.049
What would I be saying oh you're saying about airplane? No, no way. It's too easy

0:01:26.110,0:01:29.879
Up in the air, I think something in my head, isn't it?

0:01:29.909,0:01:34.989
I think of something up in the air and then it's up in the air. I think it's not solid.

0:01:35.450,0:01:37.960
So I guess it's non-solid plan

0:01:38.030,0:01:44.860
Okay, exactly, right so and not so the plan means you haven't set your plan. It's not confirmed yet

0:01:45.170,0:01:47.170
It's still up in the air

0:01:47.260,0:01:52.029
I see so you guys as a student your English teacher will love when you use English idioms.

0:01:52.030,0:01:55.540
like for example when she asked you about your homework you just said

0:01:55.540,0:01:59.889
Oh the plan of me doing this homework is still up in the air.

0:02:00.400,0:02:03.000
She says are you gonna do your homework tonight? And you would say

0:02:03.000,0:02:04.360
umm..It's up in the air

0:02:04.360,0:02:07.500
And she will love that because you use idiom.

0:02:07.500,0:02:08.880
no no no o

0:02:09.080,0:02:12.780
Okay, what if I said that you have lost your touch

0:02:12.980,0:02:20.200
Lost My touch? If I lost my hand, I think I lost my ability to do something

0:02:20.500,0:02:22.580
That's close. That's a good guess.

0:02:22.860,0:02:23.360
Really ?

0:02:23.940,0:02:27.100
At first I think about getting in touch with someone.

0:02:27.100,0:02:29.200
Right so there's a couple of different meanings there

0:02:29.500,0:02:36.100
So if you lose touch with someone it means that you you don't see them often anymore

0:02:36.100,0:02:40.779
So you are not in contact with them often so you are

0:02:41.720,0:02:48.440
Maybe not as good as friends or you don't know each other so well sovyou lose touch. But this is lose your touch

0:02:48.700,0:02:52.140
So it's a slightly different flash meaning

0:02:52.140,0:02:53.180
Something mine?

0:02:53.340,0:02:54.480
Well...

0:02:54.480,0:03:01.739
Like I guessed before I lose my touch. I lose my hand. I lose the ability to do something uh-huh, very good, right

0:03:01.739,0:03:07.559
So if you lose your touch it means that you used to be able to do something you had the ability

0:03:07.560,0:03:11.310
But if you lose your touch it means you don't have it anymore

0:03:11.319,0:03:15.749
It's like me now that I lost my touch with English.

0:03:16.780,0:03:17.840
I used to be better.

0:03:18.040,0:03:20.840
It's still very good. You haven't lost your touch.

0:03:21.660,0:03:23.580
Don't compliment me that much!

0:03:23.590,0:03:28.349
You've been talking lots of English in the last few days at the YouTube creator summits. Yeah

0:03:28.349,0:03:33.179
Base on my luck. At Creator summit they make us do a lucky dip.

0:03:33.180,0:03:39.540
Every time all Thai creators sat together, except me. Just like me! You talking about up dinner last night?

0:03:39.540,0:03:39.930
Yeah

0:03:39.930,0:03:44.280
So last night I did the same and I was the only person speaking English,

0:03:44.280,0:03:48.940
Every time I pick up some number. I sat with all English speakers.

0:03:49.100,0:03:50.920
Yeah you've been speaking a lot of English.

0:03:51.160,0:03:53.600
So I have practiced. Practice makes perfect!

0:03:53.600,0:03:55.360
Even a little bit of pressure is good.

0:03:55.360,0:03:59.300
You know, you have to push yourself a little bit sometimes to take on a challenge.

0:03:59.520,0:04:05.120
All right, what if I said that you needed to get your head around something.

0:04:05.520,0:04:10.960
Get my head around something? For me it like you totally focus on something.

0:04:11.140,0:04:16.620
If I get my head around something, it's mean I'm totally interested. So I look at it in every angles.

0:04:16.690,0:04:20.679
Is it mean I'm interested? It's close. That's a good way of thinking about it

0:04:20.690,0:04:25.959
So if you have your head around something it means that you understand it completely

0:04:26.450,0:04:30.939
So maybe not necessarily interested, but you understand it

0:04:30.940,0:04:36.309
For example, if I bought a new TV, and I was trying to read the instructions

0:04:36.410,0:04:37.600
It was very difficult

0:04:37.600,0:04:42.850
It took me maybe two hours to read the instruction and understand but after two hours

0:04:42.850,0:04:48.489
I got my head around it. You are kind of weird. Nobody read TV instruction

0:04:49.540,0:04:56.580
It was a bad example. I never read instructions. Is it like when you subscribe to something and they have a rules and yeah

0:04:57.100,0:05:04.080
Okay, okay, okay or like a new software on your computer? Sure. Okay agree to terms and conditions. Yes. Yes

0:05:04.090,0:05:06.600
In Thai we have a phase call 'too long done, read!'

0:05:07.610,0:05:11.169
Need to learn that one. Okay. What if you are sitting on the fence?

0:05:11.169,0:05:15.080
What does it mean? The picture in my head the fence is kind of sharp.

0:05:15.080,0:05:18.300
Oh! it's painful

0:05:18.620,0:05:21.720
It's it mean force yourself to do something painful?

0:05:22.000,0:05:25.100
Makes me feel uncomfortable. And in the end you would get hurt.

0:05:25.100,0:05:28.640
Like you'll fall to one or the other side.

0:05:28.700,0:05:31.840
Well, the side of the fence are important

0:05:31.840,0:05:34.269
So if you are sitting on the fence

0:05:34.270,0:05:40.480
It means you can't decide which side of the fence you need to go to right? You're just sitting on the fence you're thinking

0:05:40.480,0:05:42.020
Oh, should I go there?

0:05:42.020,0:05:45.500
It's used to talk about when you're making a decision

0:05:46.120,0:05:51.780
There's this option or this option. But if you can't decide then you're sitting on the fence

0:05:51.790,0:05:55.839
It's look like an idiom. It's high. It's called yes don't care

0:05:55.840,0:06:02.530
It's made you they are - both at the same time like that leg on one and another leg on another wendigo

0:06:02.530,0:06:08.260
That's peers like this and you have to make a decision Hey or you fall in falling

0:06:08.260,0:06:13.539
It's very similar. Then it has a very similar meaning but this idiom let me know that fence in

0:06:14.390,0:06:16.690
Europe America and Australia is not charged

0:06:17.360,0:06:19.360
offenses in Thailand is very

0:06:19.850,0:06:21.850
Close security, right? Yeah

0:06:24.350,0:06:27.339
Okay, my last one is what if I said you

0:06:28.190,0:06:35.739
Hit the nail on the head. Oh like a nail like with a hammer. But before you said that I think

0:06:39.170,0:06:41.529
Is Frankie's life getting a new

0:06:42.920,0:06:44.920
oh, it's

0:06:45.740,0:06:48.460
Like correct. Yeah, so it means like

0:06:49.100,0:06:53.499
Exactly, right. So if you were talking to your boss and

0:06:54.590,0:06:58.569
Your boss asked. You know, what do you think is the problem?

0:06:58.570,0:07:05.110
You know with our team at the moment and you said well, I think you know everyone is coming in a little bit late

0:07:05.110,0:07:10.480
They're slacking on maybe we need to be a bit stricter with the rule for our team to work

0:07:10.480,0:07:14.559
Well together and your boss agreed with you. He thought yes, you're right

0:07:14.620,0:07:19.750
He might say you hit the nail on the head. You're exactly right. It's because

0:07:20.270,0:07:25.750
Everyone is getting lazy you hit the nail on the head, but everyone else will hit you in the head. Yeah

0:07:26.330,0:07:28.330
exactly

0:07:29.420,0:07:32.170
A job well done. You did really well

0:07:33.530,0:07:40.030
I'm a bit cheating as I learned English for many years better. Now. I'm feeling stressed. It's my turn

0:07:40.030,0:07:45.459
Is it in time maybe in Asian culture? We never say anything said uh-huh

0:07:45.590,0:07:51.489
We always kind of is always hiding right down. So it's dissimilar to English actually

0:07:52.280,0:07:56.019
so every words I asked you from now on is

0:07:57.020,0:08:03.939
Completely different from what you heard? Okay, like the best one April in a coconut

0:08:03.940,0:08:07.780
Shell I'm thinking that a frog likes to jump

0:08:07.850,0:08:13.209
So if you keep your frog inside the coconut it can't escape. So is it like you're trapped?

0:08:14.210,0:08:16.210
Yeah

0:08:16.759,0:08:21.019
What is its form a tale about a bruh living in

0:08:21.210,0:08:26.870
Coconut shine and hitting the coconut shell is a universe he know everything in the universe

0:08:27.569,0:08:32.958
So hip-hop himself and wrap around like so he thinks he knows everything

0:08:33.380,0:08:39.559
Yeah, there are more than one drop in the coconut shell but that that particular want to tell every other forms life

0:08:39.560,0:08:44.869
I know everything just ask me. I've seen everything I know it. Oh, yeah

0:08:44.870,0:08:48.380
I know those people I can think of someone who I can use this idiot

0:08:49.639,0:08:56.029
I think I might try it in English. I might try and use it. You're like a frog in a coconut shell and then using

0:08:58.019,0:09:02.149
It before and I say yeah, it's a new idiom, you know, nothing

0:09:03.060,0:09:06.139
Coconut chair. Yeah any worse out there?

0:09:06.990,0:09:10.219
Maybe this one is too hard. Next one is

0:09:11.730,0:09:15.289
What does it mean if I told you you are catching a

0:09:15.779,0:09:22.999
Grasshopper on the elephant back what you're writing in a feather and then trying to catch grassman

0:09:23.000,0:09:28.069
Right. Am I trying to catch it as the elephant trying to capture? No, you do anyone who's trying to catch it

0:09:28.069,0:09:30.309
I feel like a grasshopper

0:09:31.130,0:09:36.669
Jumps like like this really fast. Yes and an elephant moves like this

0:09:37.190,0:09:42.729
So I feel like it would be difficult to do that. Right because they move quite differently

0:09:42.730,0:09:48.880
So I feel like this idiom could be about something being difficult too hard to do well

0:09:49.400,0:09:56.769
Not exactly. You have to know some of Thai history like we used to use and a family, okay?

0:09:56.770,0:10:02.169
It's a big even when you use eleven, but catching a grasshopper is just a small human

0:10:02.360,0:10:05.740
Okay, so you're used to big to all

0:10:06.650,0:10:12.579
The too much effort too much energy to do just a small task. Yes in English

0:10:12.580,0:10:15.219
We would say it's over the top similar

0:10:15.770,0:10:22.599
Meaning to this idiot. So the next one it's still about animals are they're all about animals. Well, I just choose Oh,

0:10:23.810,0:10:25.810
So it's cute when you picture it

0:10:26.930,0:10:28.810
Yes, okay. It's not helping me

0:10:28.810,0:10:35.679
So father what if I told you that someone is an old cow who liked to eat fresh grass? Okay

0:10:35.680,0:10:40.659
I think it's something to do with their taste. They like things that are too expensive for

0:10:41.490,0:10:43.490
Something like that

0:10:44.220,0:10:49.790
It's about someone like something but not that someone something that is too good for

0:10:50.519,0:10:58.039
you maybe but the Karem sent a man deep or one who liked to keep fresh Oh like

0:10:58.589,0:11:03.259
young women yes, really really young that the generation gap you'll

0:11:03.990,0:11:08.599
Wait, so here's an old cow who likes to eat fresh grass eat

0:11:10.529,0:11:15.319
Oh my goodness, well the fourth one is some expression

0:11:16.170,0:11:21.200
Many type people do they like to use it to foreigners and many foreigners?

0:11:22.079,0:11:25.909
Doesn't understand it. Uh-huh. It's next make fish fish

0:11:27.260,0:11:29.510
I think I remember hearing this one one

0:11:30.720,0:11:33.439
Fish fish but I can't remember what it means

0:11:33.450,0:11:39.919
If you met Flemish type you go before you must now, give some example tell me when would I use this?

0:11:40.290,0:11:45.679
Well lie English, please next next fish fish. I like so so it's

0:11:46.740,0:11:48.740
Not so good

0:11:53.280,0:11:55.280
It's okay, but it's not great

0:11:55.290,0:11:57.499
if you give one to ten point

0:11:57.570,0:12:04.369
It's like a one or two you can use it but not that good so I can't say like hello. Thank you

0:12:04.440,0:12:09.049
You're welcome, but not talking like this. Okay, it's snake. Snake snake fish fish

0:12:09.360,0:12:13.430
How can I say it in Thai cuz I like this one. I want to try and use it Oh

0:12:14.010,0:12:15.360
blah blah

0:12:15.360,0:12:17.360
Okay

0:12:17.570,0:12:22.810
Blah blah. Oh, that's perfect blah blah. That's why I can say my tie is

0:12:24.260,0:12:31.689
Blah blah. Yes, and because actually it's even worse but if you can say that her tie people might be really inside

0:12:35.000,0:12:39.760
True I heard you're going to Thailand so yes it I'm going to use it

0:12:39.760,0:12:44.410
I'm gonna try it and see what happens before the last one. It's a bit cruel to picture this one

0:12:44.410,0:12:51.910
So idiom is to cure chicken for the monkey to see the killing as she can and have chosen a monk

0:12:51.910,0:12:56.889
Why would you do that? Maybe to show the monkey what could happen?

0:12:58.160,0:13:00.160
If he behaves like the chicken

0:13:01.280,0:13:04.060
Exactly. Is it like an example? Yes

0:13:13.430,0:13:21.430
Yes, the idioms mean to make an example, like if a student doing something wrong teacher just drag him in

0:13:21.430,0:13:25.029
Front of the room and then hit him and we're going to make an example

0:13:25.310,0:13:30.219
Of some someone who did something wrong and then to show everyone else

0:13:30.620,0:13:34.539
Yes, like if you do it same thing you would get punished like this

0:13:35.300,0:13:42.039
Okay, kill the chicken and show the monkey. Yes. Okay. I like that one. It's a little bit

0:13:42.770,0:13:44.060
gruesome

0:13:44.060,0:13:50.089
Like imagining cut the head off fill in or go die we cooked fight on wall to cure

0:13:50.090,0:13:52.090
She can smash this day. Yeah

0:13:56.190,0:13:59.030
But it has to be done right because we like eating chicken

0:13:59.550,0:14:02.089
Thank you very much. Mr. For today

0:14:02.220,0:14:08.569
I'm really glad to meet you guys and then through the flat turbinate YouTube you because we've had such a fun weekend

0:14:08.660,0:14:08.960
well

0:14:08.960,0:14:11.629
Yeah the weekend this feels like it because we've just been having

0:14:11.910,0:14:15.889
Lots of parties and think every day every day is weekend for you Joe

0:14:16.860,0:14:22.399
But I do want to let make a suggestion about learning English idiot because they can be difficult

0:14:22.400,0:14:24.530
Right and for me learning Thai idioms

0:14:24.530,0:14:26.780
It's difficult because the meaning is not

0:14:27.000,0:14:34.370
obvious that you can't just look at the word and immediately know the meaning one thing that I always recommend to my students is to

0:14:34.680,0:14:40.849
try to focus on some idioms that are relevant to your lasso find and then
