How to Write and Pronounce Thai vowels

How do we get the falling tones.

If a native still has trouble with it…..

[@businessmail1996]

The most simplified way to introduce/practice vowels and work on class/tone at the same time. You took very complicated and intimidating aspects of Thai Language and actually made it enjoyable! This should be the standard for all Thai Language courses for English speakers! You did a tremendous amount of work in one hour. Thank you very much!

Thank god you're making these Thai videos. There is a channel similar to yours, but only in Korean and she teaches the same way you do. So easy to understand, everything is explained clearly, you can change the subject clearly and there is no hassle. This is just great from 'students' point of view when learning a new language. Thank you for making these videos.

[@noemiluvslino]

I started learning thai not long ago and the vowels are pretty much the hardest part! But thank you so much for this video! It might be little confusing but it helped me a lot!

[@Naturalwigsandvigs]

The thai vowels will take a long time to learn and pronounce. I would recommend a video by Stu Jay Raj Thai vowels. He explain them in a very easy way and easy to remember. He explains it in a very simple way based on the position where the sound comes from in the mouth and how the vowels connect:)

[@iam1self]

This was an amazing class. I am still a little confused about how to know which tone goes with each consonant vowel combination.

[@barryschaeffer9598]

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.

[@poochidprommakun8759]

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.

[@ReliefHereNow]

yes yes yes...thankyou for this

[@olive6060]

เ◌อะ / ◌ึ- can't understand their sound difference😢

[@komalbhiwandikar7943]

Can you give any tips on how to get the hang of all thai sounds?

[@jimmysnyder1]

Thanks Jack. I have watched this twice so far and expect to watch it more times until I get it all. I made a set of flashcards based on this video and am in the process of memorizing them. I have a question about this word ฟิสิกส์. It's pronounced fisiks and means physics in English. What is the symbol above the ส at the end? I'm sorry it's so small. It looks like the number 6, tilted 45 degrees clockwise. Also, what is the symbol above the kor kai in the word เก็บ?

[@NiWonTerritory]

Do you provide a certificate after the completion of the online course?

[@asteroceras1]

How do we get the falling tones, you haven’t mentioned those.

[@RedMi-bo1ej]

second and third duffer only in tone. I have no idea why separate consonants. Besides, the two do not consistently keep the same pitch. 😢😢

[@lutherjones503]

loved the writing exercise with the lesson the pace was fast to initially write and listen but once i got my notes down listening to the lesson again was better it is hard to discriminate the tone difference he makes it is like I hear him say low tone but his sounds to me don't vary enough and are similar I wish I can hear someone else teach tones and compare the two to better distinguish tones.

[@SayaChan-wb2tq]

I wanna know about the sounds of tones. I can't speak out the spelling sound clearly and well😢

[@alexkurnia3127]

26:10 the part i most remember, just like Korean "saranghae" without ng sound 😂

[@kozlo1]

You could do a video comparing similar vowels. Sorry but: _ึ and เ_อะ ( _ื, เ_อ ) are the same to me, also โะ and เ_าะ ( โ and อ).

thanks anyway i love you 😁😁😁😛😘😘😘😍

[@pulzez8961]

hi thanks for thelesson it is really comprehensive and easy to understand. However, i'd like to know how you decide the tone to go up, down, or flat based on the pairing of the vowels and the consonants? Is there a pattern/system that we can follow? Thanks so much.

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

[@asteroceras1]

How do we make falling tones.

[@IgetThais]

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. Here's the link about Thai Tones - Train your ear to recognize Thai tones: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn_Lm4OKoKeYgdk

[@kylejensen6022]

The part I still don’t understand is how do we know which tone the vowel sound uses based on the initial consonant?

[@JamesColemanChess]

Because there are low, middle and high class consonants and a list of tone rules (the type of ending also factors in). You have to learn which class each consonant is, there’s no way to just ‘know’ (at least not for us foreigners who are learning and haven’t grown up hearing it all day and night and know it intuitively!)

[@imanika6032]

Can someone explain how to know the tone? I mean how to know if we have to put raising or high tone like kè and ké?

[@JamesColemanChess]

Different things factor in: consonant class, type of syllable (live or dead ending) length of vowel, tone markers - not all of these will apply to every situation but there’s basically a set of rules that you have to memorise. For example: middle class consonant + long vowel + dead ending = mid tone. Thai natives don’t have to think about the rules as they just know from having heard all the words pronounced by other Thais their whole lives.

[@matofritzsk]

จ,ค-i found on keyboard. however, where i find the 3rd one? (keyboard row?)

[@matofritzsk]

found it. The difference between "ค" and "ข" in Thai lies in their pronunciation and usage: - **ค (kho khai)**: Pronounced as "k" in "kite." It's an unaspirated sound, often used in words like "คน" (kon) meaning "person." - **ข (kho khai)**: Pronounced as "kh" with an aspirated sound, similar to "kh" in "khaki." It's used in words like "ขาว" (khao) meaning "white." ### Example sentences: **ค (Kho Kai):** 1. คนนี้ใจดี (Khon nee jai dee) - This person is kind. 2. คำถามนั้นยาก (Kham tham nan yak) - That question is difficult. 3. เขียนด้วยปากกา (Khian duay pakka) - Write with a pen. 4. คุณควรไป (Khun khuan pai) - You should go. 5. เขามีงาน (Khao mee ngan) - He has work. 6. คิดถึงบ้าน (Khid thueng ban) - Miss home. **ข (Kho Khai):** 1. ขนมนี้อร่อย (Khanom nee aroi) - This snack is delicious. 2. ขาวเหมือนหิมะ (Khao muean hima) - White as snow. 3. เขาขายผลไม้ (Khao khai phonlamai) - He sells fruits. 4. ขอให้โชคดี (Kho hai chok dee) - Good luck. 5. ขึ้นรถไฟ (Khuen rot fai) - Get on the train. 6. ข้างในเงียบ (Khang nai ngiap) - It's quiet inside. ### Synonyms There are no direct synonyms for these letters, as they are specific consonants in the Thai alphabet with distinct sounds and uses.
