Heart Talk : Say What You Feel in Thai is a unique study of the emotional range of the Thai language, mastering the use of the word jai or heart in many different contexts. It provides an insight into how Thai speakers express their feelings in ways understood by Thais in different situations. It is an essential language survival kit as you explore the Thai language, culture and people.

"Moore has . . . voyaged deeply into the heart of his a dopted country, and this is nowhere more evident in his one nonfiction book, the appropriately titled Heart Talk. A groundbreaking exploration of Thai culture, the volume was inspired by Moore's realization that the notion of heart, in all its forms, is the central metaphor in the Thai language."—Georgia Straight
