I really can't believe how much better you teaching is compared to everyone else I have tried to learn from. Your explanation of the alphabet is so easy to follow and understand. Thank you so much!
Khop khun na ka, Kru Smuk! Learned so much in just half an hour. You explained the MC consonants so well that made me able to read the 5 sentences at the end (tho I don't have any idea what it means except 2 sentences have the word "pen" in them.)
Congratulations for your first Thai sentences. It’s good to be able to read before digging deeper for the meanings. Once you master a basic Thai, reading skill then you can focus on vocabulary and conversational skills.
I have eun an English training school for nine years. Written two in hiuse language books and developed a English phonetics course from beginners to advanced. This video is superb. I dont think you can be any clearer. Just need to practice to remember. Good teaching matters. This delivery is saving us who use it a lot of time. Its up to us if we get confused as there is nothing confusing in this content. Outstanding.
Your welcome. Great work should be recognised. I prided myself on especially on the first book I wrote for its clarity. To get the clearness you showed takes experience and a systematic mind. Its very hard to learn a language anyway. Getting unecessarily confused is unhelpful.
This video is simply amazing. I watched it many times, it helps me a lot. I follow you and I will watch and study all your videos. Thank you very much for such amazing work you do in your channel. Gretings from Chiang Mai.
thank so much for this lesson, teacher. I have watch a lot video from other teacher and I can tell this's the best guiding lesson ever. I don't mean the other lesson is not good enough, but you guys have to admit she's prepare her lesson plan very carefully and the way she teaches so slowly, it make Thai language easy to learn and understand, also make the Thai alphabet look less scary and less difficult for foreigner students.
Wow, I am so glad you got what I am trying to make. Thai scripts are quite complicated but it's really possible to manage in a way that it's well constructed, simple, and friendly. Thank you so much for your kind words na ka :D
@ Kru Smuk Your approach to teaching and compiling lessons is well structured. The notes & illustrations that you add to the slides (as well as mapping/matrices/other visual aids) help reinforce the material. Your lessons guide the beginner in a way that pulls them along, with new lessons building upon the previous lessons/concepts. This is the proper way to teach a language; you possess strong teaching acumen. I am definitely signing up for your course. I hope one day I may run into you when I come back to Thailand (you're like a celebrity to your student).
i havent been studying thai for long at all but i felt like it was a lot harder for me to get started with learning without knowing at all how to read or spell. the only languages i speak fluently are languages i grew up speaking, so its always been a struggle when i want to learn one from scratch. i want to thank you so much because after this video i could finally understand a couple of words' structure. ive had other sources and practiced the consonants but didn't understand how to construct a syllable. by no means can i read or even close, but these videos have already helped me a lot to make a foundation. thank you so much for making these available for free they're such a valuable resource!!! your teaching style is also so helpful, i have ADHD and am long out of school so it feels good to be able to learn something in a structured way that makes sense 🎉 i'm not even done with the video yet, i just finally felt a light bulb go off in my head so i had to comment my thanks lol!!!
Khob Khun mahk Kru Smuk! thank you so much, great video and the way you explain it is so easy to understand! i learned a lot from you, keep up the great work, i will watch all your videos! sa-wad-dee!
Hi teacher. I hope you're doing well. Thanks for uploading this video. I've learnt Thai for awhile, and not to lie, you videos is the best among the best because you explained it well and detail. Based on the video above, would like to ask a question. As for จัก, you said it was J.A.K. the last letter, was it not supposed to be G?
Thank you so much, for teaching this one. Your content is really really amazing!. It's very easy to understand what you are talking too. GOD Bless. And keep making a very nice videos.♥️♥️♥️
Hi Kru Smuk, thanks for your very useful series of videos which help me tremendously with my learning. I have two questions regarding the final consonant sound: 1.consistent use of the rule At the 20:45 mark in the video you explain the fact that for consonant jaaw jhaan (plate) the ending consonant sound changes from "j" to a "d" (in your example not "aaj" but rather "aad". However you don't apply the rule of the changing consonant sound to any other case during the video. For example at 09:12 the "d" of daaw dek (child) should be come "t" to produce "gat", "dat", "jat" instead of "gad", "dad", "jad". Could you please explain what I am not understanding correctly? Why does the final consonant sound of daaw dek (child) not change? 2. The consistent use of the sound across various sources eg for jaaw jhaan (plate) the sounds of the initial and ending consonants is vastly different: 2.1 you use "j" and "d" 2.2 Wikipedia uses "ch" and "t" Is this merely a difference in transliteration convention? Your answers will be greatly appreciated! 🙂
Hello, thank you for a great video. One question please. I see in other sources that ค is pronounced d as beginning consonant and t as final consonant which is different to what you are teaching? Also same for บ b as beginning and p as final. Please could you explain?
Just to help you guys get more motivation just remember. You can get paid to translate so not only are u learning to be able to watch some bls without subtitles but u can make money too
Good evening 🙏. I've a question about อ . In this case : ต้อง . อ is not silent . But pronounced O . And the rule, seem no same because there's not vowel. Can you explain? Please 🙏. I'm confuse . Resume: why in ต้อง อ pronounced O ? Thanks 🙏
The letter อ can be used for both consonant (place holder that is silent) and also part of different vowels. A tip for you, if the อ is in between 2 consonants then it’s a vowel. อ (sà-rà-aw) with -aw vowel sound. 😀
10:20 isn't that g-oor gai ? shouldn't that be JAG ? not JAK ? edit: just got to the summary and I understand haha. Thanks! Great video, love your style
@@rislahmuzain oh okay Thankyou so much for replying,I read the usage of Khrap and kha even before, jus got confused when kru was using it in every sentence. So Kha can be used in general aswell right?
@@neethuparayil7348 yes. Like Chai kha. You can use it in general, as a polite way/formal. Especially when talking to the eldest, strangers or someone higher.
For me, learning thai is very hard.. I downloaded 4 different types of apps to help me learn thai but but it feel really hard.. Can you please recommend me the best app to learn thai
Hello Kru Smuk, thank you for the lesson & the energy & passion you put into it, After being married to a Thai for 30 years, I've decided to learn to read & write Thai. I thought in Thai there was only 8 final sounds the dead unaspirated being final K,T,P, therefore ดาด daat Initial p,bp,b,f sounds all had final sound P & initial t,d, dt,s,ch all has final sound t and k,g initial had final k all these being dead unaspirated sounds therfore a word sound จาด jaat, please help
Hello Khruu Smuk very nice presentation, may I ask you what kind of whiteboard you use for these lessions? It looks like you use macintosh right? Khob khun khrab, sawat dee khrab

Hi teacher. I hope you're doing well. Thanks for uploading this video. I've learnt Thai for awhile, and not to lie, you videos is the best among the best because you explained it well and detail.
Based on the video above, would like to ask a question. As for จัก, you said it was J.A.K. the last letter, was it not supposed to be G?
when 'ก' is put in the front of a word it's 'G' sound but at the end of a word it's 'k' sound.
I can't help myself to be amazed...thank you Kruu🙏
Excellent teacher 🎉. Thank you
Thank you so much for the very detailed walk-through on the middle consonant. It is very helpful and it’s very fun to learn with you!
Where is high class consonants video?

Good lesson. 🙏🏻 สวัสดี
Thank you so much. It's very useful to me❤
Omg this is so complete and nice explained, love thisss
Great to know this helps ☺️
I read from the book Thai in a Nutshell that ก is still pronounced as “g” when finish, but you said จัก is pronounced “jak”, which one is correct?
best thai teacher ever. tysm
So helpful video I hope I can able to read thai soon 🙏 - Thai greeting right?
Yes, it's ไหว้/wâai 😊
Thank you so much... a great video!
If you want to learn Thai, start with Kru banana Thai. Trust me, she is an expert.
I'm watching this now. I hope you're still posting videos :)
Hello beautiful,I am watching from northern PALAWAN Philippines 😊☺️😃
Thanks a lot .....teacher... for your well defined explanation of each letter and words ...thankssss aa loootttt...
Great explanations, now I know why no vowel symbol is present when I write PHOM in Thai and translate to Thai symbols, phew.
Wow ... You can teach very well ...
Hello, thank you for a great video. One question please. I see in other sources that ค is pronounced d as beginning consonant and t as final consonant which is different to what you are teaching? Also same for บ b as beginning and p as final. Please could you explain?
I super love the intro music hehe may I know what's the title of that music?
Just to help you guys get more motivation just remember. You can get paid to translate so not only are u learning to be able to watch some bls without subtitles but u can make money too
so grateful for the lessons.
Great video. Do you happen to have a course in bkk?
We have on-site class in BKK kha.
If you're interested, you can give me your email😊
Good evening 🙏.
I've a question about อ .
In this case : ต้อง .
อ is not silent . But pronounced O .
And the rule, seem no same because there's not vowel.
Can you explain? Please 🙏.
I'm confuse .
Resume: why in ต้อง
อ pronounced O ?
Thanks 🙏
The letter อ can be used for both consonant (place holder that is silent) and also part of different vowels.
A tip for you, if the อ is in between 2 consonants then it’s a vowel.
อ (sà-rà-aw) with -aw vowel sound. 😀
10:20 isn't that g-oor gai ? shouldn't that be JAG ? not JAK ?
edit: just got to the summary and I understand haha. Thanks! Great video, love your style
Thank you na ka😍😍
Thankyou for the lessons,.....i was curious about the word u were ending with most of the sentences... " na kha",wht does it mean?☺
a polite way to end the sentences. kha is used by women, and krap/kap used by men
@@rislahmuzain oh okay Thankyou so much for replying,I read the usage of Khrap and kha even before, jus got confused when kru was using it in every sentence.
So Kha can be used in general aswell right?
@@rislahmuzain is it like " ok lah " in SNG/MY slang??
@@neethuparayil7348 yes yes. You know Malaysian people in utara, we use nahh as well at the end of sentences. Okay na. Bye na. Jumpa lagi na.
@@neethuparayil7348 yes. Like Chai kha. You can use it in general, as a polite way/formal. Especially when talking to the eldest, strangers or someone higher.
สวัสดีครับคุณครู
ผมขอรบกวนนะครับเเต่พอดีผมเเค่อยากจะถามว่าครูมีวิทีที่ต้องรู้ว่าต้องใช่ “พะยันฉะนา” อันในถ้าเกิดว่าอยู “ขานหลัง” คํา
ยังเช่นคำว่า “ตัด” cut
ครูมีวิทีที่จะรู้ว่าต้องใช่ ด หรือ ต ครับ?
I love your videos!
Mam nice class.
great stuff
This was perfect! :)
yes I did
when writin g-sara-aa-j , why there s not written g-sara-aa-d, which makes same sound, I am confused
great kruu
Best tutorial ever! Thank you so much for the awesome teaching
Very excited..that you're back. Thanks and good lesson.
Sorry for being quiet, but now I am back with a new course. Quite excited to show you all :) Please stay tuned na ka.
For me, learning thai is very hard.. I downloaded 4 different types of apps to help me learn thai but but it feel really hard.. Can you please recommend me the best app to learn thai
Thank you for this video, it's really helpful.
But it's funny how you pronounce "vowel". It's pronounced like v + "owl" 🦉, not "vovel" haha
😂
Wonderful !!!
Hello Kru Smuk, thank you for the lesson & the energy & passion you put into it, After being married to a Thai for 30 years, I've decided to learn to read & write Thai.
I thought in Thai there was only 8 final sounds the dead unaspirated being final K,T,P, therefore ดาด daat
Initial p,bp,b,f sounds all had final sound P & initial t,d, dt,s,ch all has final sound t and k,g initial had final k all these being dead unaspirated sounds therfore a word sound จาด jaat, please help
In Cantonese, "chicken" is indeed pronounced "gai" (雞). same as thi.
Why there is no video for high class consonants?😢
Impossible to join your Facebook group, why ?
Hello Khruu Smuk very nice presentation, may I ask you what kind of whiteboard you use for these lessions? It looks like you use macintosh right? Khob khun khrab, sawat dee khrab
Why is it that you write "deg" and "jag" but you say "dek" and "jak" ? The sound is g so why k?
The sound is not specifically g or k it’s ก. Romanised transliteration is just the best approximation and better to leave those behind. The sound is ก
13:28
Khaawp Khun khrup khru Cruzmo😄
Waiting for lesson 2🤗
Khob khun na krub!
Next time when you read up some thai letters make sure you can spell it down so we can understand and read it.
