Speak Thai with ล่ะ — Smash That Particle #5

Hi! This is “Smash that Particle!”, an educational video series for Thai language learners eager to understand the elusive thai final word particles. In the fifth episode, we will talk about a word so familiar and yet there's so much you don't know about: ล่ะ [lâ]. You'll learn about all the implications that this word can convey.

Let's shed some light on this ubiquitous 'spotlight particle'!
