We are lucky to have this Kru and this content for free really

[@KellyL1991]

I am already familiar with the "ng" sound because of my mother tongue, so I have no problems with this pronunciation but I can say this, the way Kru Smuk explains and teaches in detail how to get the pronunciation correct is very good.

[@surademirci2164]

Thank you so much teacher Smuk, for preparing this video and notifying me via e-mail. I've been struggling to differantiate those yellow highlighted sounds (especially bp sound), and it's become clearer now.

[@BananaThaiSchool]

I am happy to know my video can help. Please feel free to recommend this video to your friends who are learning Thai. I hope to help more people. ☺️

Beste Video die Töne und Aussprache der Thai-Sprache zu erklären - TOP!💯

[@hanslarsson3551]

You are so good in explaining ! I am impressed !

[@KellyL1991]

I have read in some sources that the reason faces develop different according to region, one of the contributing factors is the language we speak, because different languages uses the facial muscles differently, so if we speak that one or two (or more) languages our entire lives, our face muscles eventually develops a certain way to accommodate the movements necessary for that language. Learning the pronunciation for "bp" is such an obvious example for me because my face muscles needed time to get used to pronouncing this one.

[@katwilkes1442]

Thank you so much for your explanation of vowel sounds. As a Southern American, pronunciation guides normally don't fit my accent. At. All.

[@surskitpond]

Kru Smuk is the best teacher

Just starting with academy of Stuart Jay..very helpful, but his method a little different from most teachers

43:25 I don't understand why ขี้หมา 's first high tone was pronounced like a falling tone in the video.

[@misterarnon]

Yes it’s a falling tone. She just did a mistake

[@gilbertoprocel5351]

[@patrickmorandi4335]

บทเรียนที่น่าสนใจมาก ขอบคุณครับ

[@kipponi]

I think thai pronunciation is easier for me than english speakers. I am finnish. We have ä and ö letters. They sound thai❤👍. Like word "kengät". It means shoes. We have hard consonants and rolling r-letter is easy. Perrrrkele. It is curse word here😂.

August 17 will be my first month of learning thai ☕

[@haha-eg8fj]

In my native language to ride a horse pronounced like "khè-máa" so it is very similar.

Can't wait!!

[@ChrisBird1]

What a beautiful and helpful teacher ...ขอบคุณมากครับ

[@BRADYSCOTT2453]

Thank you! If the อ in ช้อป is a short vowel, why is it not written with เ-าะ ?

[@wiputjat]

- We also use the อ as the form of "shorten อ (เ-าะ)​ with a final consonant". example: กระต๊อบ ไก่ต๊อก. - Your example is a borrowed word from English so the tone mark can be excluded and spoken in different tone from how it is written (e.g. คอมพิวเตอร์ in official writing is popularly pronounced as คอม-พิ้ว-เต้อ. Thais don't follow tonal rules much when it comes to English word. And the อ just came in handy to reflect the pronunciation in original language

[@Alex_Gordon]

@@wiputjat I reply you on behalf of BRADYSCOTT2453, since he is not replying. thank you for your explanation! 🙏

[@dedpihter5870]

in 43:30 why did you use high tone for ขี้ instead of falling tone? ข - high class consonant + ี + ้ should be falling tone, am I wrong?

[@BananaThaiSchool]

Hi khun Ded, thank you for pointing it out. You're right it's supposed to be a falling tone ka. I hope you enjoyed the video and learned new things :)

[@djlawenda]

is #2 true only for dead sound end consonants?

[@BananaThaiSchool]

When a Thai learner pronounce and release the final sounds of the dead ending consonants, it creates confusion for Thai as we do not do that and Thais might mistake the released final sound as another syllable or word. For the Sonorant sounds, it’s fine to release the sound as they naturally comes out from nose and mouth. 😀☺️

The euu sound is the begining of a Charlie Brown uuugh

Question: Why learn Thai if most Thai people I've seen speak English?

[@stuartlidl]

if you’re going to a country that has its own language you should always put in an effort to learn, regardless if they know English or not. it also helps to preserve a language

[@kipponi]

If you have thai wife or lives in Thailand. It makes life easier and enjoyable. I learn it for fun and I have thai friends in Finland. If I don't know some words we can switch to english.
