Thanks. Recently I’ve been told to pay attention to long and short vowel sounds. I need to slow my pronunciation of words with long vowels. Just as important as using the correct tone.
Was listening just yesterday to your interview with Tony Joh and Greg on the Bangkok podcast from 10 years ago - you really have staying power and just as enjoyable to listen to now as then :-)
The two that sound like law confuse me a bit. The confirm assumption spoke version and the handsome one. But other than that I’m kind of memorizing some of these I can kind of guess before it’s spoken. So this video and the beginner phrases one have helped me out a lot to start learning.
Every time you say a word that begins with the “dt” , “bp” or “t” sound, you don’t pronounce the initial sound and proceed straight to the following vowel. For example, when you say the word for table it sounds like “oh”. Actually it is true whenever you say a strong syllable, including the “g” in “goong”. Is it a problem with the sound recording that hard consonants at the beginning of words are lost when you are actually saying them? What am I missing something?
Thank yo so much, Mod for this nice lecture! You are a really nice teacher. I only have a suggestion: Could you not cooperate with a male speaker, because it is may be easier for male learners to pronounce words better, especially with the tones. But I enjoy your lessons anyway very very much!
@@thetraveller334 : I think in tonal languages as Thai and Chinese it matters a little bit as women genrally are speaking with a higher pitch. So I only think it would be good to listen to a male pronounciation as a man also.
One moment = bpaep (high tone or low tone?) neung. Thai spelling indicates it should be high tone if I'm not mistaken and did you pronounce it with high tone?
I learned a new English word today. Prawn! Tip: the word "right" is a homonym (has more than one meaning) in English and video should specify which one it is referring to.
It is the direction "right" as she clearly shows with her hand. Instead of trying to pick faults, you could just thank her for another great FREE video.
When you say a word that begins with a “t” , “dt”, or “bp”, you do not say the corresponding sound. All you say is the following vowel and ending consonant. For example when you see “Tok”, it comes out as “ok”. Is that a common tendency of Thai speakers? Is that the correct way to pronounce these words?
Thank you Kru Mod, this is helpful! By the way, there is this Thai word that I always hear in Thai lakorns but cannot understand what it means. It is used mostly at the end of a sentence: "Sanoii" Anyone can tell me what it means?
Thank you very much, dear Kru Mod! 🙏 You gave us this lesson wonderful again. And sweet as always. This makes learning even more fun. But could it be 😉 that you forgot to list these "50+ vocabulary" in your description box? Kind regards Bernd
Sawatdee ka khun Bernd, thank you for your kind comment. I just added the list in the description box. I will add the Thai script as well as soon as I come back from a lesson with my student. :)
When you say Thai words that begin with the “dt” sound, like table or rain, I do not hear you say the initial consonant sound. I just hear the following vowel. Is that intentional by you? Is that dt sound really so soft in every day speaking? The same with the hard consonant sound “bP”, as in turn on or open. I simply don’t hear you pronounce the consonant, just the vowel. I don’t know if it’s just my ears, your pronunciation, or the sound recording.
Это наверно единственный адекватный автор.большая часть подобных видео по изучению тайского языка записываются какими-то странными людьми.. Спасибо,лайк.
Thank you for this lesson Mod. I have a question about Number 1 and number 2 bathroom pronunciation. I've heard when going number 1 it's pronounced yeotag, and number two pronounced keuytag. Is this right?
Why is it common thai people pronounced the ร as ล in a daily conversation? Which I heard differently from educated people (e.g. academicians, TV anchors, etc)and I have noticed that ล will be silent such as the word ปลา.
Yes, that's how a language in real life works. Notice how a native speaker colloquially use the language is the best way. The short answer to "Why" is because it's generally more convenient to pronounce ล than ร. And the reason ล can replace ร in most of the cases is because the Thai sound system allows it not to be confused otherwise. So you can say ปา instead of ปลา because it's in the context. Of course this is not something you should follow, it's just something you should be aware of when learning Thai - the natural one.
@@klaaskay2685 Not trying to argue, but I think its something you actually should try to copy to an extent. The ultimate goal in learning a language is to speak like a local. In the past I thought the same as you, but I eventually got tired of people laughing and calling me cute when i say ครับ with the rolled R instead of just คับ. I don't want to sound cute I just want to talk like a normal person haha. Of course we should still know how to "correctly" say and spell each word though.
@@Freedomlover420 Well, I could say that I agree with you on that point. The way I see language is basically a tool for communication. It all comes down to your own experience interacting in the real world will tell you how to use the tool in such a way that's appropriate to situation at hands or to serve your particular purposes. For example, some comedians use the habitual omission of some consonant such as ล and ร above as a gag to lead to unexpected humourous punchline. Or the tendency of some Thais to pronounce English words like 'must' changed to 'mud' due to the influence of the Thai consonant sound system like this: ua-cam.com/video/CRfAt8pZW9g/v-deo.html
You will never learn Thai by following the English spelling of Thai words. I don't know who is responsible for the spelling, but it should be written phonetically.

Love ur video! It helps me to learn English. Can you make a video that which words have a two or more meaning in English? (e.g: ผม-i /hair)
Very helpful thanks
Great video. Such a key to learning a tonal language is getting that pronunciation right, so this really helps.
유용한 태국 언어입니다 태국어를 많이 배웁니다 항상 감사합니다
Nice
Thanks for this. It’s very helpful!
Hi, Mod. Can you, please, make a video about punctuation in Thai?
There is no punctuation in Thai.
The two that sound like law confuse me a bit. The confirm assumption spoke version and the handsome one. But other than that I’m kind of memorizing some of these I can kind of guess before it’s spoken. So this video and the beginner phrases one have helped me out a lot to start learning.

Kop kun kru mod! Yet another great video lesson! Can you recommend a book to use to learn to read (and write) Thai please?
สัวสดีครับคุณครูมด บทเรียนของคุณมีประโยชน์และก็น่าสนใจเสมอเมื่อผมมีเวลาตามคุณตอนนี้ผมอยู่ที่นี่ในประเทศไทย
มดดีใจค่ะ
I love you kru mod...
thank you so much , please teach some grammar if possible
Thanks for this video. One question for word 41, isn't the tonation shown in the first word wrong (low tone, should be high tone)?
Thank yo so much, Mod for this nice lecture! You are a really nice teacher.
I only have a suggestion: Could you not cooperate with a male speaker, because it is may be easier for male learners to pronounce words better, especially with the tones.
But I enjoy your lessons anyway very very much!
Why would it matter if your teacher is male or female? The concept of speech doesn't change based on gender.
@@thetraveller334 : I think in tonal languages as Thai and Chinese it matters a little bit as women genrally are speaking with a higher pitch. So I only think it would be good to listen to a male pronounciation as a man also.
Great!!!! i know how to pronounce BUFFALO...now all that's left is the "LITTLE" word plz xD xD
One moment = bpaep (high tone or low tone?) neung. Thai spelling indicates it should be high tone if I'm not mistaken and did you pronounce it with high tone?
Thanks to you :) I learn with you especially the pronuncation.

Can you shoot, please, a video how to pronounce Thai letter าํ?

Okay. I don't think I'm gonna stop calling Kwaaai now.
"Buffolo" is not use for everyday...
You will never learn Thai by following the English spelling of Thai words. I don't know who is responsible for the spelling, but it should be written phonetically.
So Buffalo is a common everyday word? Lol
Jesus Christ, Teacher - you look 22 years old.. what's your secret to look young
Thank you for your compliment. I don't know if practicing yoga helps or I am just Asian. :D
Hard to concentrate, khun suai mak.
Hahaha... how is Buffalo a common Thai word????
Mod. So wa di ka. I am in love with you... I am from Costa Rica. Would you marry me?
baa
Wow, Costa Rica, of course she will. She'll divorce her husband and marry a stranger from youtube that she has never met. That's normal behaviour.
@@rabbieburns2501 it is obviously a joke.
Please dont loose weight. earlier look was better
Very commonly used indeed. Btw is there any girl watching this channel???? hahahahah
👎👎👎👎 not useful for daily use at all
I'm staying in Thailand since a few months and was actually suprised that i at least heard or knew most of the words. That means they're commonly used
Excellent
Very helpful thanks
