Learn Thai : Best way to drill Thai tones in your brain with unique tone practice Part 1

[@Papanda1995]

This is the best explanation of Thai tones I’ve ever come across, this has helped me a lot

[@tomstieve]

I agree

[@chillbro2275]

I feel the same way!

[@sokaiya1]

Wrong

[@James-MV]

I learned more about tones in the first 2 minutes of this video than I have in the past eight years. Great stuff!

[@SpeakThaiPossibleWithNaam]

Thank you kha!!!! 🙏🏽

[@dancingruth]

Exactly! This is superb!

[@keithcheong4934]

THIS LADY MAKES IS SOOO MUCH EASIER FOR ME, GIVE HER A BIG APPLAUSE!!!!

[@davidslchan]

This help is immeasurable. I am from Hong Kong, and this is easy because Cantonese has even more tones. I was three years old to know the difference between "mom cooked dinner" and "a horse cooked dinner" -- แม่ and ม้า. Yet, even when I can read the script, this is still the best for me -- as a generally English speaker -- on the fly. Thank you.

[@ChuChu-zr6cl]

Thai Chinese call mom >> "ม่า ม้า" or "ม้า" (short style) So you call mummy >> "ม้า" that's ok .

[@fernandosousa4657]

The most amazing explanation of tones I have ever seen. You are incredibly communicative and your examples are engaging. You deserve and Oscar!!!Thank you so much.

Thank you so much kha. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I'm a Spanish native speaker and I'm learning English and Thai at the same time For that reason I tell you Don't stop cuz your videos are really useful for me and for my friends thank you sooo much

Thank you so much and thank you for sharing them wit me your friends 🙏🏽🙏🏽 keep learning and practice makes better!!! Don’t give up as there is no shortcut for tone practicing

Funny and very well explained 🙏

[@frasiersdead]

this blew my mind at first i was like ??english doesn't have tones. but the examples made so much sense

[@HighStakesDanny]

She has nailed it. 10 minutes, drills, empty space to practice, lots of useful vocabulary, I subbed but looking for more. Please continue with content. Best part is I can practice in the dead space you make while looking at the word. No one else I have found adds this dead space to practice and then hear what the answer is.

[@DiiDahh]

FANTASTIC THANK YOU ❤🙏🙏🙏❤

[@HighStakesDanny]

This helped me understand finally what is going on. Genius level teaching here.

Hi there, I’m thinking about giving a free1-hr Thai tones correction class to some of my subscribers. So you can have more fun practicing tones with me. What do you think? Make a comment below and I will consider how to work it out. Don’t forget! There is just one way... practice practice and practice Lots of love, Your Naam from Speak Thai Possible :)

Yes. That would be cool. Start a website and do lessons.

[@turtlezen4292]

This is one of the best tone videos I've ever seen. I can remember the tones of words I've heard specifically from a piece of media, but I have so much difficulty remembering how to say a tone when I'm simply reading a word. Thank you. Not only that, but you are an AMAZING teacher. I literally showed this video to one of the educational students that I tutor, because I was so impressed with the way you quickly moved through the material with different examples while being fun and entertaining.

[@Zillow7]

Thank you so much for making this video. I've been trying to figure tones out for quite a while. Your way of combining English words and Thai tones have proven to be extremely helpful. Thanks again!

You are a genius! I have been trying to hear the different tone sounds for a year now and asked so many people to explain them. You are the first person i have found who explains this in a simple way and it works. THANK YOU! I now feel that I might one day master this!

I'm been learning Thai for about 7 years on off and I still stuff up the tones some times. this video probably helped me more than anything else.

One of the best thai tones explanation videos I've watched so far. Although I am still having some difficulties in differentiating falling tone from high tone, it still sounds similar to me. Hopefully you'll make video just for falling tone and high tone 😊

[@SpeakThaiPossibleWithNaam]

Check out the tone drill playlist. There are lots of exercise. The excercise for high tone and falling is coming later on. Still producing them :)

I’m retiring to Thailand in one year. I’ve been going to Chiang Mai twice a year for the last five years. This year I’ve been really trying to add to my vocabulary and pronunciation and tone. Your videos are really helpful and I like your style of explaining the language. It makes a lot more sense to me as I’m studying. 🙏

That was a great explanation better than my Thai teacher at a Thai language school. Now I have to keep practicing.

Thank you so much for taking your time to explain in detail how to pronounce the tones!!!! You don't know how much I appreciate this!! I always thought the Thai tones were hard, but turns out they're pretty easy. :)

[@nickwhite9152]

By far the best instruction I have seen and heard.

[@SpeakThaiPossibleWithNaam]

Thank you khaaaaaa try out the tone drills in the playlist it could help :)

[@richardjones9007]

This is a very good introduction to pronouncing Thai tones For someone starting to learn the Thai language. I have been living in Thailand for a couple of years and I have no problem enunciating the tones when I know which tone should apply to a word. More difficult is being able to hear Thai tones in conversational Thai, and remembering which tone to use to give the syllable you’re pronouncing the meaning you intend. Using the wrong tone, or applying no town at all, can make your spoken in Thai unintelligible to a Thai person. I once told the parents of a small child that their son “likes to ride horses“, with disastrous results as what the parents heard from my mouth was, he likes to eat dog sh*t.” And I once got slapped in the face by young lady I tried to describe as “beautiful“, but using the wrong tone had me calling her “bad luck“. One day I will master employing the correct tone, if I only live long enough…

[@stuharris9993]

EXCELLENT!!! The best approach to Thai tones I've seen! Entertaining too!

[@SpeakThaiPossibleWithNaam]

Stu Harris thank you kha. Continue the drill in the All about Thaï tones playlist for better pronunciation :)

[@stuharris9993]

@@SpeakThaiPossibleWithNaam I will look at that playlist. I discovered your videos just two weeks ago. They are all very good. Ratanaporn Tangprasert is my teacher. Perhaps you know her.

[@TheMrsATL]

This video is very helpful. Of course, there cannot be an exact mapping with English words; however your approximation is a good start. Daily listening and practice with native speakers is the key.

[@theboyfactory6]

This is the best description I have seen for Thai tones yet. This is perfect and makes Thai tones seem so much less intimidating.
