Learning Thai from scratch - Making a language learning plan! 🇹🇭

[@naofg]

"See how easy that was?" "No..." lmao I feel you. Thank you for sharing your journey with a new language from scratch like this. It gives me motivation to tackle a language where I'm a beginner too.

Hey Lindie, i'm your fan. What about learn portuguese language? Brazil has a lot of tongs and dialects that could be very funny to learn. Also, you can watch a lot of things in portuguese and talk with a lot of people and different identities. Brazil is a country different from the others. Could be a great idea. See you! Até Mais!

I was studying mandarin and korean until last year, but depression hit hard this year so I wasn't studying anything. This month I got interest in start japanese from scratch since the last time I study was when I was 12 years old. But I was a bit hesitant because I didn't get to fluency neither in mandarin nor in korean - but I decided that since it's my life, I'm allowed to study whatever i want to whenever i want to KOSKAPSK - Glad to see you're doing better! ♥

[@ValentinaGonzalez-lo1ni]

Hi Lindie, I've been learning Thai for a couple of months already and It's so fun, please don't give up I'm rooting for you. I know there are so my things to learn as a beginner especially reading which can feel overwhelming due to the number of rules in tone and writing but I promise it's so fun and worth it. I started with Thai pod for the alphabet as well. However, I then decided to take classes on Itaki to properly learn how to read as there are so many things like tips and tricks that a native Thai speaker can give you that many videos do not mention or you would have to discover on your own and may not be obvious and make Thai a bit more overwhelming due to the limited resources that may be out there. I'd like to give you a couple of tips as Thai beginner and wish you the best of luck in your Thai studies สู้ๆ. Please do not overwhelm yourself you can do this!!! TIPS :) 1) To be able to properly pronounce you need to be able to read and recognize all letters, therefore in my opinion, I believe learning the whole alphabet along with names of tone marks is the 1st thing to tackle. 2) Thai romanization to English is honestly one of the worst I’ve seen. I recommend you instead create your own sound assimilations with other languages. As a Spanish and English speaker and Korean and French learner, I have been able to recognize some of these sounds and translate some of these languages’ sounds into Thai (especially the vowels) 3) Once you have mastered the alphabet you should move then to learning the class of each consonant. Ore you could also do this at the same time you learn all consonants but sometimes it may be a little overwhelming due to the number of consonants 4) After you have mastered these you will be able to learn the tone rules much faster as depending on the class of the consonant and type of vowel these change. It’s all about consonant class + ending sound. (just as a heads up, the tone mark overwrites the tone rules) 5) You’d need to get familiar with the many different ways that that can be written (different fonts) that are extremely common. For example: “น” can be written as “u” in a modern and quite a common font (I left a link to help with that in the resources below) I’d like to share with you some of the best resources I have found on the internet that has helped me improve much faster overall. 1) www.thai2english.com/ (The best and my personal favourite, I swear this is the one!! and I feel so lucky to have found this resource and would love to share it with you and the language learning community) This is a Thai English and vice versa dictionary but most importantly if you are still not able to recognize a Tone you can just type the world and it will help you identify the tone, it does have romanization but I just ignore that and use what I need. Please explore the many uses of this website. You can see how excited I am about this website hehe 2) rapidlearnthai.com/understanding-thai-modern-fonts/ (for modern font Thai) 3) kzbin.info (she’s so good :) so much content to learn and her explanations are amazing) 4) kzbin.infofeatured (she has Thai tone drills and explains these very well)

[@emeliamoor5003]

Hi Lindie, As someone who lived and worked in Thailand and learned the language through immersion and KZbin, its so exciting to see you doing self study of the language on your own! I found that BYU channel has some great videos for commonly used phrases that you will actually use in Thailand. I found that listening a bunch really helped me with tones. I know it can be difficult in the beginning but I found Thailand and the Thai language to have been such a blessing in my life. Thai people are so sweet and lovely and you can make some wonderful friends when you are able to communicate. I spent a month with a 70 year old Thai lady traveling together and meeting all her family and exploring the southern part of Thailand staying with locals because I was able to speak Thai

[@fionama288]

As a subscriber and Thai learner myself, seeing this video makes me so happy! Thailand not only has such beautiful language but also wonderful culture. There are also very well resources on the internet, such as Thai dramas and Thai novels. It is not easy, but definitely worth it. I can not wait to see you enjoy this language! Have fun, Lindie!

[@Bucherviews]

There are so many great fun Thai TV series, too! I literally was off work sick today and rewatched Theory of Love (available free on KZbin with subtitles) in its entirety, it's one of my favourite Thai dramas. I really recommend it to anyone!

[@justsoyouknowme2574]

I started learning thai back in late 2019 bit I was not consistent 🥲 I've been dropping and coming back to it all throughout these more than 2 years. What helped me is that I learned the Thai alphabet entirely right from the beginning ( with the YT channel Kruu Waree all about Thai). I liked this Thai song called Everything (Thuk yang) by Scrubb and I used to copy it down every day for fun and I wrote the alphabet every morning too. I also learned the reading rules from the start. It paid off because now I don't need transliteration to read Thai anymore. Unfortunately I focused to much on the writing system and didn't practice my speaking/listening enough.😩 Now I can write and read but I can't speak. 🥲 I'm better at listening though because I watch Thai series a lot😅

[@pranseyeswhenlookingatpat9639]

i really want to learn the thai alphabet but everytime i actually start, i get so easily discouraged :') watching series indeed help a lot with oral comprehension and learning words, thats how i know all my thai from (thanks to bls iyky lol)

[@unwrittenbook]

I started learning Thai about 6 months ago :) For the alphabet I used Thaipod101 in the beginning but for me the book „Read Thai in 10 Days“ worked so well! I did not manage the whole book in 10 days, but the way the letters were grouped and everything was explained worked so well for my brain. For tones I now have a little image in my head! As for Tones, BananaThai has a good explanation about Tones that she just uploaded recently on Thai :D Anyway, excited that you started Thai as well!

Pod101 is such an amazing resource. You literally don't need anything else. So much information there from absolute basics to very advance levels. Though, my preferred method is books, right now learning French, at the moment using Assimil + general French reading + little grammar exercises, not too much.

Just dropping by to thank you. I've been learning Finnish since 2015. I've visited twice so far, but I wasn't confident in my ability to speak it. But I finally started italki lessons about a year ago now, thanks to seeing one of your videos about Hungarian (up until that point I had been really stubborn about learning everything on my own), and last week I bought two One Line A Day journals to try to practice my Finnish and German with. I still find myself using English far more than I should during my lessons, but I'm trying. So thanks again for being an inspiration.

It's so fun to see people studying since we all do it differently. Two years ago I started learning french just like you study but in a class setting and I hated it. I'm autistic so I crave ✨️structure✨️ and I felt that was missing from that class which frustrated me because I saw my peers learning so much and even though I put the effort I still felt it wasn't enough. I stopped learning during the pandemic to concentrate on my mental health and recently returned to it but in my way. I'm heavily relying on grammar because it soothes that structure craving but I'm also learning vocabulary, common phrases, immersion and all that good ol' stuff.

[@TroyD-vo1bz]

Boy, I can totally empathize. I've been doing this about 4 years now. It does eventually get easier, but you need to build a basic vocabulary and get used to the backwards sentence structure. From big house to house big for example. Noun then Adjective.I tried to learn online for quite a while, but eventually start taking classes . Thai as a second language in Chiang Mai is a good one. TSL. Learn Thai with Mod is very good. I do love Thai podcast 101. Llingo for memorizing vocabulary. And Pimsleur is excellent for sentence structure. In fact, If there's one thing I would do over is start with complete sentences from the get-go. All I can say is every day do a little bit. It's damn frustrating though as it takes quite a while to even make basic progress. I still fall on my face quite often. Congratulations for taking on the task! I love it, but it's tough.

I started learning Thai from scratch around a year ago, but I'm terrible in the self discipline department (I also just have a horrible work/school load) and started with a teacher on italki from the start. Having to schedule lessons kept me on a better track. I am at a basic conversation level, but my confidence is not great and I forget words while in the middle of talking. I have some of the same learning resources but wanted to offer one up here in case it can help anyone else. My teacher suggested this book and it was a massive help for me. My understanding got noticeably better after we started working with this book together. "Everyday Thai for Beginners" by Wiworn Kesavatana-Dohrs ... The book is set up in lessons, has a section at the beginning about the letters and sound changes, and the lessons are broken down into helpful grammar parts and exercises. There is an audio disc too... but this book is a little hard to find in good condition. I found mine on Amazon used. Another decent resource is the "You Too Can Learn Thai" podcast episodes. I've used them for some of my listening practice. I hope these are helpful. ♥

I am starting Thai in December! So excited that I will be on the same path as you!!! I live in Japan, so Thai has been floating around my outer circle for over a decade. I really got interested in Thai, however, when I worked at Tokyo Paralympics boccia venue. Thai is tops in boccia, so there was Thai everywhere. I was working in the languages team, and there were Thai speakers in our team, so I heard Thai every day. I thought it was beautiful. Then I had the most beautiful encounter with a Thai suport team member. Then Thailand produced a remake of Japanese drama, Hana Yori Dango, so I watched my first Thai drama. Then I fell down the BL wormhole. Then I discovered the music of Jeff Satur... So basically, a never-ending list of reasons to learn Thai. (Sorry Malay, you are going to have to wait a little bit longer.) I won't have free time until Japan's end of year vacation and I like to start with a deep-dive immersion, so I have to wait until then. PS, I have been missing your vids for months, since I watched from my work account which I never use any more. *sad face*

I should get back to it One KZbin channel I watched was "Learn Thai Happily". Satang, the host pumps out a crazy number of videos. They are short and sweet. First few videos were a bit difficult, because the font used was difficult to read. But he switches it up in later videos and they became much better. Anyway, good luck with learning Thai!

Hello, Lindie! I'm from France and I really appreciate watching your videos even though I don't usually comments on people's video. But, when I've seen your video, I was so glad that you are learning new language and it's Thai! It's because, i'm half thai but since I was born In France and didn't learn it apart from picking some words, sentences with the help of my mother and of course lakorn / dramas and music, I don't really considered myself as a half thai person. Sorry, it's getting too long but yes, I'm with you, I'm learning not constantly but if I have a proper time, I think, I have to organize well, I should learning the language seriously haha. I also watched the same video with the alphabet haha, I also think it's quite complicate (but the difficult part is how to put together and to read them, sometimes it's simple sometimes it's not lol) but, I've found a video about a man who was living in Thailand I think, he recommended to know the important one first and If i'm not mistaken, to learn letters with a small group (like maybe with the video uou had watched). Wish you the best and a big cheer up for this new journey but also for other things! p-s: sorry for any mistake (especially english grammar) but hope you are able to understand what I wanted to convey.

These Pod/Class 101 guys are really helpful when learning a new language. Especially the alphabets. I learnt my Japanese and Korean alphabets on these only and also attempted Thai and Arabic 😂😂 Ofc I gave up but my Korean is still on and I plan on keeping it. But now watching you learning Thai motivates me to learn it again. Hope you succeed and stay strong and healthy. Sending lots of love from India ❤️❤️ PS: when are u gonna learn Hindi? Not pressuring you, just an innocent question 😊😊✌️✌️

She has before. (She learnt the basics) She learnt to listen and speak it a few years back. Look at her bookshelf video and she talked about it briefly

This is pretty close to how I start studying languages!

Oh, I just LOVED the part where we can learn Thai together with you, learning how to write "ma" (to come) in Thai. Maybe you could do more like this, where you just study and take us along? I am sure to remember "ma" now! ^_^

Thai is super flexible don't worry. Like the sentence that directly translates to "in 1 week, have 7 days" could also be "1 week have 7 days". They are both grammatically correct. The long sentence about telling time, its way too formal like you're a military radio announcer. Nobody says that. You just say the number of hours + the word "MONG" + followed by the number minutes (informal). If you wanna be a bit formal, you just add the word for minutes after the number of minutes "Natee".
