This instruction was top notch. So clear. Perfect pace. Perfect amount of repetition. I literally just started studying Thai on my own after a visit there. I agree with this commenter though about the up, flat, and down with other constants besides the 3 covered. But I’m sure I’ll find that.

Let me answer your question. I'm Thai and hope that my comment will help you to understand more Thai language. Actually, you can combine each Thai consonant with all vowels. However, not all consonant vowel combinations will have the meaning. Thai consonants are divided into 3 groups which are up, flat, and down. The main purpose is not to put tone marks into wrong group. Tone marks make different intonations in wording. However, without tone marks, each consonant also has their own tone. When combining with vowels, the sound of word mainly comes from the sound of each vowel, but the tone might be different between each word even using the same vowel because of the different in tone of the consonant itself. Hope that these explanations can help or may be more confusing Ha Ha Ha.

I have the same question

You can check out the tone table that I made, you will see the tone rules explaining why the tone goes up and down. : drive.google.com/file/d/1ZSA6bZIfxaaRKPeS2hW44W2nMU7QvAY-/view?usp=sharing

@@IgetThais คุณครูคะ ใน chart อักษรสูง หมายเลข 3,4 ฐ กับ ถ ไม่ได้อยู่ด้วยกันหรือคะ ผ กับ ฝ ด้วยค่ะ และในอักษรต่ำเดี๋ยว ทำไมอักษรไม่เรียงตามลำดับก่อนหลังคะ คือทำไมไม่เรียง ง, ญ, ณ, น, ม, ย, ร, ล, ว, ฬ เคยเห็นตามเว็บก็ไม่เรียงตามอักษรก่อนหลัง ก็เลยสงสัยค่ะว่าอาจจะมีเหตุผลอะไรอยู่เบื้องหลังหรือเปล่า รวมทั้งในช่องตัวสะกด ทำไมไม่เรียง ง, น, ม, ย, ว คะ

Trueeeeee....

@@lovely-zd2wi yes🙂

the inherent vowel of "เ-อ" is เ-ิ เกิน read as ก + เออ + น > gaern but there is not the inherent vowel for "เออะ" "เออะ" has no final consonant.

To make a falling tone, you can think about throwing a rock. Start from your normal speaking pitch, then raise it slightly before letting it fall, similar to throwing a rock upward and watching it come back down. Another analogy is going up a hill and then coming down. Begin slightly higher than your normal speaking pitch and then let it dip down at the end of the syllable.

low class consonant + short dead syllable = high tone

@@filipinojalapeno1527 I think I need to learn the consonant classes then...but thanks so much :) I will get this one day.

Ikr😅😅

Actually, it's a flat tone. Sorry, my fault. I copied it from the word 'kăo,' but I forgot to delete the diacritic on the 'a,' so เคา = kao. Thank you for pointing out the mistake. I'll pin this to let people know about it.

In Thai, there are both visible and invisible "sara ะ" in words. Let's take the word สระ (sa-ra) as an example. It consists of two syllables. The second syllable, "ระ" (ra), contains a visible sara ะ, which is seen and pronounced as "ra" with the full sound. However, the first syllable is where the invisible sara ะ. Even though it's not visibly present, it combines with the vowel "ะ" and is pronounced as "sa," producing a half sound. As a result, the word สระ (sa-ra) has two syllables: the first syllable with the invisible sara ะ, pronounced as "sa" with a half sound, and the second syllable "ra," pronounced with the full sound. This occurs because the word is borrowed from the Pali language.

Yup. I had 4 years of French in high school and a year (largely repeating the first couple years of high school French) in college, and because it uses largely the same alphabet as English, it was easier to get up and running. With Thai, there's a whole new alphabet to learn.

If you're unsure where to begin with learning Thai, don't worry! Here are a few steps to get you started: Start with basic phrases and vocabulary such as everyday expressions, greetings, and useful phrases. This will help you in practical conversations and interactions and familiarize yourself with basic pronunciation. Learning the sounds of the language will help you build a strong foundation. Immerse yourself in the language: Immerse yourself in Thai culture and media, such as watching Thai movies, TV shows, or listening to Thai music. This exposure will help you become more familiar with the language and its nuances. Stay consistent and motivated: Learning a new language takes time and dedication. Set aside regular study sessions, practice consistently, and stay motivated by setting goals for yourself. Remember, everyone learns at their own pace, so be patient with yourself and enjoy the process. Good luck on your Thai language learning journey! :)

If you have spent anytime learning Thai you would understand that Thai has no final L or S sound. Therefore it is difficult for them to pronounce these sounds. If you have any trouble making any of the Thai sounds that are missing in English, you would be more understanding.

Thank you so much 🙏
