Today we had a nice conversation and I had a lovely chat with your kids :) After that, we worked on practising constructing sentences from the vocabulary list in the book. Also, you sent me many Thai sentences that you wrote. Good job!, Mary. Your handwriting is better than mine Lol. I look forward to our next lesson :)

    Hmm. Around here (middle/south USA), when I hear "tummy," I think of a child or close family member talking about their stomach organ ("My tummy hurts"). An adult would generally say "stomach" instead of "tummy." When I hear "belly," I think of the whole abdomen, including the flesh/fat on the torso. Belly is often used to describe someone's abdomen when it's able to jiggle ("What a cute little belly," probably regarding a small child/infant), protrude out far from the rest of the body (a pregnant belly or a "beer belly"), overweight bellies that stick out or hang ("He needs to go to the gym and work on that belly!"), or other variations. I hope this helps.

    The words are interchangeable to many people, but in my own learning, I was taught that to be jealous is to feel as if you own something (or someone), and you don't want anyone else to have it. I have always believed envy to be more something like "Oh, I wish I could have that too," or "I wish I could do that too," but not necessarily meaning that I want to deprive the other person of their experience. That being said, I rarely see or hear anyone saying, "I envy you!" and almost always hear "I'm so jealous!" in response to something like the examples you gave.

    For me, at least, the name "Dan" seems to be a male name only, short for "Daniel," although I suppose it could also be short for "Danielle," which is a female name. You can choose whatever you want, but at least in the USA, people would most likely think "male" first when they hear the name. If you don't mind the initial confusion, it's no problem.

    I normally see "heady" used to describe a pleasant scent, and I normally see it when I am reading books. I rarely hear it out loud. Perhaps if I worked in a perfume or candke store, I would encounter it more. :) I have never heard "heady" or "headiness" used any other way. For anger or a short temper, I see and hear "bullheaded" used often. For reference, I'm in the USA.

    I only know that เล็ก means "small."

    After learning that ผีเสื้อ means "butterfly" (and not "ghost shirt"), it could mean anything :)
