Download or read book Little Miss Noi A Sanook Guide to the Thai Language With a Reverse Glossary written by Jay Walken and published by Jay Walken. This book was released on with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revision of the author's humorous, non-pc guide for foreigners wishing to communicate in basicThai ("Little Miss Fon"), which has grown by almost 50 percent since its original publication, this book comes with an ADDITIONAL feature: a partial reverse glossary (from English to Thai). To summarize, here are a few dubiously conceivable reasons to have “Little Miss Noi” on your e-reader: --As a conversation starter to make Thais smile, and also to invite help. --Because words that you look up in dictionaries and word books are often easily forgotten. But with a single silly verse such as “Little Miss Fon Sat on Her Kon”, you will learn ten words that you are unlikely to forget: because the verse makes you laugh. --Many words are explained with context and commentary. The nearly 200 words are explained with over 10000 words of commentary and background. --An economic aid, and for self-protection. When you can speak a few crucial Thai words, prices drop quite fast! You might also be able to spot or foil a scam by listening for key words. --As a learning aid: you pronounce the word as it sounds in the book, usually by using rhyming equivalents in English rather than a pronunciation key, and give it your best shot, asking a Thai person to correct you if you are wrong. This book is a SUBJECTIVE, non-authoritative guide roughly indicating WHICH of thousands of Thai words to focus on. Don't rely on it for accurate pronunciation: use the Internet or ask a Thai friend, and keep listening to spoken Thai. Meant for NON-PC, non-uptight readers with a very generous sense of humor.

Download or read book An Invention without a Future written by James Naremore and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1895, Louis Lumière supposedly said that cinema is "an invention without a future." James Naremore uses this legendary remark as a starting point for a meditation on the so-called death of cinema in the digital age, and as a way of introducing a wide-ranging series of his essays on movies past and present. These essays include discussions of authorship, adaptation, and acting; commentaries on Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Vincente Minnelli, John Huston, and Stanley Kubrick; and reviews of more recent work by non-Hollywood directors Pedro Costa, Abbas Kiarostami, Raúl Ruiz, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Important themes recur: the relations between modernity, modernism, and postmodernism; the changing mediascape and death of older technologies; and the need for robust critical writing in an era when print journalism is waning and the humanities are devalued. The book concludes with essays on four major American film critics: James Agee, Manny Farber, Andrew Sarris, and Jonathan Rosenbaum.
