1. เพื่อน -friend. Word I kind of knew but needed to know the tone and how to spell...
2. ต่อ - next.... as in a sequence of things.

1. ในวันข้างหน้า - Literally, like, in the coming days... "the future".
2. หมอ - doctor. I went to see one today. Know how to say rhinoscopy in Thai?

1. โทรศัพท์ - telephone. I feel like there's probably an English-based borrowed word for this, but it might just be for mobile phone, or not at all.
2. ย้าย - to move (as in, to move away/move out).

1. แทบ - almost
2. ไร้ - without

Yesterday's

1. เข้า - to attend (as of a meeting). This word can also be paired with the words "come" ( เข้ามา ) and "go" ( เข้าไป ) and have the same meaning, but I suppose they connote "to come (or go) to an event"; there's also "เข้าประชุม" which is actually "to attend a meeting." Useful.
2. ปลงใจ - to make a decision, make up one's mind.

1. อาจ - particle used with another verb to indicate possibility "may-" "might-"
2. แน่นอน - of course, certainly.

1. เช่น - example
2. จึง - therefore. Sometimes it's little connecting words like these that really polish up your speech. Instead of churning out choppy small sentences and letting the listener make the (hopefully) obvious connections on their own (which sounds like beginner's speech) having some conjunctions and connective words like this makes a train of thought much more fluid. They're often small to begin with, and (at least in Thai and Chinese) don't conjugate or change form; they just hold a place, and that's it. Good stuff to know.
