Letter O

In this episode you will learn the word " สมมุติ" ( what if / suppose / supposing)  as you here some part of the lyric

..............."ถ้าสมมุติว่าเธอ ไม่ได้เจอเขาก่อน เธอชอบฉันแน่นอนฉันมั่นใจ
               ก่อนที่เขาจะชอบเธอ อยากให้ลองคิดใหม่ อีกทีได้ไหม คิดอีกที 
               ถ้าไม่นับเรื่องนี้ ที่เธอชอบเขาอยู่ ฉันว่าเราก็ดูเข้ากันเธอว่าไหม 
               ถ้าไม่นับเรื่องนั้น ฉันให้คิดดูใหม่ แกล้งลืม ๆ ว่าเธอชอบเขาไป
               เราก็เป็นแฟนกันได้เธอว่าเปล่า"
               สมมุติว่าเธอไม่ได้ชอบเขา แล้วเราจะเป็นได้มากกว่านี้ไหม 
               สมมุติว่าใจเธอยังไม่มีใคร เป็นฉันได้ไหม'..............................

Practical Steps for Language Learning Through Social Media
Here are a few ways to make your scrolling habit more productive:
•	Notice Trends: Pay attention to popular phrases, abbreviations, and hashtags. Jot down new words and look them up if you’re unsure.
•	Evaluate Tone: Is the language used playful, serious, persuasive, or informative? Recognizing tone helps you decide when to use similar language styles.
•	Contextual Learning: When you come across unfamiliar slang or buzzwords, try using them in a sentence yourself or research examples. Understanding how a word fits into context is essential for true fluency.
•	Assess the Quality of Writing: Is the post well-thought-out or thrown together? The choice of words can reveal the writer’s intent and mindset, helping you decide what language to adopt or avoid.
