30-Second Thai EP 6: Daily Routine

Episode 6 walks through a simple morning routine: waking up, brushing teeth, making breakfast, and starting work from home. These are the sentences you will say (or hear) every single day in Thai.

Morning routine vocabulary is some of the most useful Thai you can learn early on. Listen to the Spotify episode first, then read along below.

Thai Script

วันนี้ฉันตื่นนอนตอนเจ็ดโมงเช้า

ฉันลุกจากเตียงแล้วไปแปรงฟันกับล้างหน้า

หลังจากนั้นฉันดื่มกาแฟแล้วทำอาหารเช้า

วันนี้ฉันทำไข่ดาวกับขนมปังปิ้ง

ระหว่างกินข้าว ฉันเปิดเพลงฟังด้วย

หลังจากกินเสร็จ ฉันเริ่มทำงานที่บ้าน
