A lot of phrases may be the same as those in work time phrase page but anyway, let's study hard and also play a lot with friends.

Lunch break

What grade are you in ?
First of all, let's say "I'm a university/high school student." in Thai language. Are you a high school student or a university student ?
meaning	Thai Language (Green:stress / Blue:male / Pink:female)
I'm a university student.	Pom/Dichan Pen Nakseuksaa Krab/Ka ผม/ดิฉัน เป็น นักศึกษา ครับ/ค่ะ
"Nakseuksaa" means "university student" and students from elementary school to high school or kindergarteners are; Students from elementary school to high school: nak rian นักเรียน Kindergarteners: naak rian a nu baan นักเรียน อนุบาล Pom: I (male) Dichan: I (female) pen: is/am/are Nakseuksaa: university student
meaning	Thai Language (Green:stress / Blue:male / Pink:female)
What grade are you in ?	Yuu Chan Arai Krab/Ka อยู่ ชั้น อะไร ครับ/คะ
When you apparently know if the person you ask is a primary/junior high/high/university student, you can use the specific expression below; University student: Pii (ปี) This means "year". The sentence will be "Yuu Pii Arai Krab/Ka". Junior high to high school student: Mor (ม.) This "Mor" is from "Matthayom (มัธยม) that means "junior high school" or "high school". The sentence will be "Yuu Mor Arai Krab/Ka". Elementary school student: Por (ป.) This "Por" is from "Prathom (ประถม) that means "grade school". The sentence will be "Yuu Por Arai Krab/Ka". Yuu: stay, am/are/is Chan: grade Arai: what

Work hard ! / Study hard !
When you want to say, "work hard !" in Thai language, use "thangjai" like the phrase in the page of Work Time,
meaning	Thai Language (Green:stress / Blue:male / Pink:female)
Work hard ! / Study hard !	Tangjai rian na ตั้งใจ เรียน นะ
Work hard for the exam !	Tangjai tham khor soab na ตั้งใจ ทำ ข้อ สอบ นะ
"thangjai" is "pay attention to" or "concentrate on". thangjai ... : pay attention to ... / concentrate on ... rian: study tham ... : do ... khor soab: test paper na: added at the end of the sentence to make it softer or politer. tham khor soab "exam" can be said simply "soab" and the second sentence above could be "Tangjai soab na" but people usually say "Tangjai tham khor soab na". Hmmm, language is difficult...
