  • One of the most challenging aspects of learning Thai is to learn the tones. There are 5 tones in the Thai language. Here are the tips to help you remember and identify each tone. Hope you find the video useful!
    If you are looking for an introductory course to Thai language, I have a course on Udemy. You can check it out here:

    Kop khun ka! Thank you!
    Happy learning!

    This is awesome! Relating the tones to English sounds was genius and made it so much easier to understand how to form the sounds!

    I really like your explanation tying to common English intonations! You make it easy to remember the 5 tones!

    I'm so glad I found this at the very beginning of my study of the Thai language. Tonal languages are daunting to people coming from a non-tonal language, but as you explained so well, no language is non-tonal, including English, it's just a matter of drawing the right comparisons.

    Best explanation I've yet seen. You have a gift for teaching. I lived in Lao for five years and picked up the tones through repetition. What a slog! This would have made it much easier. Were you brought up bilingual?
