1. Master the Real Sounds of Thai
The biggest advantage you get when you can read Thai is you will be able master your Thai pronunciation.
Roman alphabet based languages don’t cover all the sounds in Thailanguage, especially when it comes to both distinguishing vowel length and mastering those ever-tricky tones. Learning Thai pronunciation by understand how to read is the best way to master all the real Thai sounds and makes it less likely that you will develop bad habits when you speak.
2. Unlimited Opportunity to Expand your Thai vocabulary
You can start learning new words by reading and using a dictionary by yourself. No more asking your Thai friend “what does the sign say?”
Being able to read also helps a great deal to memories new words.
3. Immerse Yourself in Real Thai Life
Imagine yourself being able to read street signs, food menu, or even Thai newspapers or your Thai friends’ posts on their social media. You will be able to understand the real Thainess by reading materials available around you in everyday life.

Thank you so much, teacher. I’ve been studying Thai language by myself for almost 2 months now and today that I’ve found your video, it’s really helpful. Sending love from Cambodia🇰🇭 អរគុណច្រើន អ្នកគ្រូ 🙏
I have spoken Thai my whole life but I never learnt how to read this was really helpful ty
Thank you. This is a very useful lesson that explains some of the things I began to learn on my own but didn't understand the rules. ❤️🙏🏼
Wowwww...she is Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍
this is so helpful, and easy to follow! supporting from philippines
I’m glad to hear that you found the lesson useful in your Thai learning. Thank you for watching.😄
Thanks Mod ..that’s really cool . I memorised the consonants years ago and never went any further. Now I understand 👍
I am happy to hear that you found this lesson useful in your Thai learning. :)
I think the most hardest language in ASEAN belongs to Thai. Love from Indonesia
The best video of consonants I found in TH-cam 🎉
Thank you for the lesson. I always love your enthusiasm and how you teach with a happy smile. I can't stop watching your videos!
Even though I can read Thai this is a super nice video! It’s also helpful for remembering the names of the letters because I don’t say them that often.
I am glad to hear that. Thank you for your kind comments. :)
Wonderful video. Thank you SO much! 😄😄😄
I enjoyed it too :)
Yes, she is really great!
Thanks so much, teacher! Right now, I'm using Ling app to study the Thai language but this video also helps so much as I can use these for more practical uses as Ling only allows me ton learn the words and not put them thoroughly in many different context. For basics, I'm using Pocket Thai Master app. Appreciate your thorough and clear teaching :)
Thank you for breaking it down I paused and wrote notes so I can have for myself and thank you for the suggested videos on the alphabet were a great help. ครูมดขอบคุณ
ขอบคุณที่ดูวิดิโอของมดค่ะ Thank you for watching. :)
This is very helpful. It's really a lot of information as a whole, but it's presented slowly with lots of review. Perfect...
Wow! Excellent video, we LOVED it! 😄😄😄
Yes, it was wonderful!
So true!
Thanks you so much teacher. First time we learn thai language don't understand and now you teach zomm video ok for me . Thanks. a lot.
It may sound daunting to have 44 consonants in three classes, plus 18 vowels but take heart, there are 52 letters in English, 26 times two cases. (Admittedly, the cases don’t affect the pronunciation.)
Also, just like in Thai, the 5 (or 6 if you count Y) single vowels are combines into many, many diphthongs and triphthongs.
44 letters, but only 21 consonant sounds.
And, unlike English and many other languages, thai vowels are always pronounced in the same way.
There’s many ways to pronounce “a” depending on the word, but only one way to pronounce “า”.
@@ellefsensbarmyarmy8491 : Comes from using a foreign (Latin mostly) set of characters to represent the language, I suppose. Not to mention where pronunciation has drifted from what was originally spelled (all the “gh” words spring to mind).
Still, there are ways which give how combinations of the characters are used to represent the various sounds even if they are almost unrecognisable amongst all the foreign spellings and exceptions.
Better than using hieroglyphs at least. 🙂
@@gaemlinsidoharthi
Transliteration of thai into Latin alphabet doesn’t really work.
Learning thai script is the only way to learn tones and pronunciation etc. It’s still hard to get the tones and pronunciation right, but at least it possible to understand it.
Thai script looks strange in the beginning, but it’s not that hard. Most people will figure it out within 2-3 weeks if they spend an hour a day working on it
@@ellefsensbarmyarmy8491 : Oh. Yes. Definitely.
A lot of them are the same in both cases though. WYUOPSFJLZXCV
this is really one of the nicest Thai teaching I have encountered. Great job .. pls keep it up !!
Thank you for your kind comments. I am delighted to hear that. :)
@@ThaiwithMod thanks for the reply too. Looking forward to more episodes ^^ Have a good day !

THANK YOU im thai and I'm supposed to know the language, my mother just never cares to actually teach me
All she says is to keep learning but from WHO 😭
I really like your visual aids. It makes learning Thai a lot easier than other schools I’ve attended.
This stick chart sale in the book shops in Thailand and Thai's online shops in Thailand. That's parents use it for teaching kids or it use at school by Thai teachers at the elementary school.
Yess, the tone rules hehe, I learn it too rarely to remember. Have to study them more often!
I have seen many of your posts but this is the best
Thank you for your kind comments.🙏🏻

Thank you for watching. Would you like to be able to read Thai?
Learning to read Thai gives you a huge advantage and while slower at first, it will really accelerate your learning and understanding Thai language. You will understand the real Thai sounds and tones, and it helps you to have proper Thai pronunciation. Learning Thai pronunciation this way makes it less likely that you’ll develop bad habits when you speak Thai.

So beautiful work
Thanks Kun Mod, Great lecture. Let me help you learn English, You said "their are 44 alphabets in Thai" but that is not correct, you should have said "their is 44 consonants in the Thai alphabet" :) Thanks for teaching us !
"there are 44 consonant letters in the Thai script".
Nice lesson learned something new !
Yay! Thank you for your comment.
Great video🎉
I really want to know the rules to knowing which 'dt' or 'd' letter to use to make a specific word. It's not like you can write 'dee' (good) with daw-cha-daa, right? You have to use daw-dek. They're not used interchangeably. That's probably the most confusing part for me.
Just like English, you have to memorize how words are spelled. It's more about word origins than rules, so memorizing the spelling is usually simpler than trying to understand why.
@@Watdee so there's no rules it's all a matter of memorizing. Okay. That's fine I just thought maybe there's a rule to make it easier. U_U HARD WORK IT IS THEN >W< no problem.
What are dt letters? There is d, t and th.
@@joecostner1246 ต is not pronounced like d or t. It is somewhere in between. Here is a video that might help: th-cam.com/video/IoWqs0fcQBQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you !
In English they're not called alphabets, but letters.
Id love to do the class but by the time the class ends is when i get home from work 😂
Thank you for this ☺️ but I'm still confused on what to use for t, s, n, l,k there's multiple choices 😅
So good information
Thank you.
wow it's amazing
thank you so much!
Soooo good. Thank you Kru Mod 😉
I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed the lesson. :)
Beautiful princess!!!!
ขอบคุณ ครับ 🙏😁🇹🇭
Great lesson!
I can’t wrap my head around why there are six different Thai symbols that make the t sound. Other symbols are similar. I can pronounce them all by looking at flash cards but. It will take some time to figure out what symbols sound like which Roman letter. Also consonants make different sounds if they are at the beginning of the word compared to the end. This is extremely confusing and not necessary if you ask me. I don’t think I will ever figure out how to read Thai.
it's like korean, sanskrit and arabic had a child and now we have to deal with it...
Always happy to see her and Kru Pear..555
Thank you for watching.😄
I can speak Thai... khun suay mak mak
This is confusing why the vowels+ letter have meaning where is word

Why alphabet have words in it?
I could never be your student, because I know I would fall in love with you. hahahahah.🙃
Great lesson need to use the right tone as the Chinese language
Some letters are not very easy to pronounce
Exactly. One word can have 5 different tones and that will give you 5 different, unrelated, meanings.
Hello I'm Uttam Kumar from India budha gaya. I want learn to thai language
Am I dumb or what. Sooo hard to learn Thai langauge. At First I thought i should learn Thai consonants so it will be easier to pronounce words but what's all this? Gaw gai, jaw Jaan.. anyone who can clear my doubts ?please help me.....Just like A for apple, does gaw gai means gaw for gai ? 🤔
Why letters have name this is weird because i am hindi and english speaker.
When she said “44 alphabets”, she really meant 44 LETTERS (consonants) in the Thai alphabet (there is only one Thai alphabet, just like there’s only one English alphabet, except that vowels are treated differently). I have noticed that many Thais tend to call letters as “alphabets”, which I imagine may confuse many Farangs.
Anyway, don’t worry; you don’t have to learn 44 alphabets (can you imagine how overwhelming that could be?). Thai has just one alphabet, with 44 consonants.
Oh! Thank you for your clarification. I didn’t know the difference between the words “letter” and “alphabet”. I learned something new today.😄
Dear Kru Mod, is always so humble and polite. Beautiful in every way! 🙏
And, I think, 22 vowels. Most Thais don't know all of the complete alphabet. Thais love to make things, that are simple and easy, into things that are complicated and difficult.
@@farshimelt 32 vowels George. Yeah😁😊
Hi. May I know if I can I still enroll in 2023?
It's free class ? Thanks 💓😊
Would love to learn but that is so difficult 🤕. The problem is the times of your classes aren't conducive to European times. Do you have lessons that are geared towards Europe time zones ?.
Thank you for your interest in learning Thai with us. We are actually planning to open an evening course as we speak. Please write us at learnthaiwithmod@gmail.com 😄
44 alphabets! Here I was thinking there was only one. Better get studying!
Haha, it was difficult for me to get passed how non-native English speakers use the word “alphabets” interchangeably with “letters” but over time it has grown less annoying especially after understanding that in their native language most of the time there is one word to describe both, in the case of Thai we have อักษร which can describe the Thai Alphabet as a whole or individual Thai letters/characters.
I’m sorry for my confusion in English. There are 44 letters. :)
@@ThaiwithMod 44 symbols. Thai doesn't have letters like Western languages. It's closer to Sanskrit but not as difficult as Chinese.
@@airacheking
So, could you tell me people, what is the difference in
meaning between อักษร, and ตัวอักษร?
@@farshimelt
No.
It’s an abugida, not an alphabet. There’s 44 consonant letters.
There’s way more than 44 symbols in thai script.
