Learn Thai : Best way to drill Thai tones in your brain with unique tone practice Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2024
- if you want to sound like native speakers , one thing you cannot avoid... learn Thai tones.....Practice Thai tones need repetition until you fix it in your brain. It is like musicians do an ear training to improve their musical ability by developing a more intuitive understanding of what they hear. So why not training your ears that way?
This method can be used for training non-tonal language speakers to drill tones of tonal languages into their brains.
Apart from that, using model words which learners are familiar with will lead them to get the right tone faster.
However, without a consistent practice, no methods will work. I recommend you to practice it every day for 15-30 minutes and you will see a big progress on your pronunciation. Rome wasn't built in a day. So do Thai tones for non-tonal language speakers. Be patient. Keep practising and the result will amaze you.
You can use this Thai lesson for free to improve your Thai tones skill. But if you know native speakers, ask them to correct you. that will be the best way to learn Thai pronunciation.
The next video will be only tones exercise like in this video. You will learn Thai basic words and practice tones at the same time. So at least you will get the tone right on common words in daily life.
Additionally, you may read Thai and say it out loud (also record it) and check with native speakers.
I hope you enjoy my video and have progress in learning Thai tones.

The most amazing explanation of tones I have ever seen. You are incredibly communicative and your examples are engaging. You deserve and Oscar!!!Thank you so much.
Thank you so much kha. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I learned more about tones in the first 2 minutes of this video than I have in the past eight years. Great stuff!
Thank you kha!!!! 🙏🏽
Exactly! This is superb!
I'm a Spanish native speaker and I'm learning English and Thai at the same time For that reason I tell you Don't stop cuz your videos are really useful for me and for my friends thank you sooo much
Thank you so much and thank you for sharing them wit me your friends 🙏🏽🙏🏽 keep learning and practice makes better!!! Don’t give up as there is no shortcut for tone practicing
Tu inglés es muy impresionante! Escribes como un hablante nativo. Soy estadounidense y estoy aprendiendo español y tailandés también ☺️
@@Papanda1995 umm muchas gracias aunque mi nivel de speaking es muy bajo estoy mejorando un poco
@@Papanda1995 y tú español está perfecto 👌🏻😁✌🏻💯
Thank you so much for making this video. I've been trying to figure tones out for quite a while. Your way of combining English words and Thai tones have proven to be extremely helpful. Thanks again!
Shahzil Yousuf thank you for your comment and it makes me happy!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽
This works well for me thanks
I've been watching many videos about Thai tones, but i found this one the best and the most helpful! Everything is explained in a clear and easy way! I understand tones now! Thank you!
Basia T thank you vey much for your heartwarming comment. ❤️ I’m always happy to hear that my videos help Thai learners. :):) as its the goal of creating this channel. Thx for watching naka. 🙏🏽 Choke-dee ka
I'm interested. Are you teaching in Thailand?
This help is immeasurable.
I am from Hong Kong, and this is easy because Cantonese has even more tones. I was three years old to know the difference between "mom cooked dinner" and "a horse cooked dinner" -- แม่ and ม้า.
Yet, even when I can read the script, this is still the best for me -- as a generally English speaker -- on the fly.
Thank you.
Thai Chinese call mom >> "ม่า ม้า" or "ม้า" (short style)
So you call mummy >> "ม้า" that's ok .
This is one of the best tone videos I've ever seen. I can remember the tones of words I've heard specifically from a piece of media, but I have so much difficulty remembering how to say a tone when I'm simply reading a word. Thank you. Not only that, but you are an AMAZING teacher. I literally showed this video to one of the educational students that I tutor, because I was so impressed with the way you quickly moved through the material with different examples while being fun and entertaining.
Hi there, I’m thinking about giving a free1-hr Thai tones correction class to some of my subscribers. So you can have more fun practicing tones with me. What do you think? Make a comment below and I will consider how to work it out.
Don’t forget! There is just one way... practice practice and practice
Lots of love,

You are a genius! I have been trying to hear the different tone sounds for a year now and asked so many people to explain them. You are the first person i have found who explains this in a simple way and it works. THANK YOU! I now feel that I might one day master this!
Love your channel. Kaap kun maag cap🙂
This is an amazing video... what the hell?! I've never seen anyone explain it like this. You just opened up so many psychological blocks that I didn't even know were there. Thank you!
Hello! My name is Betsy. I'm from Venezuela. My mother tongue is Spanish, my second language is English and I'm learning Thai. I'm so happy to find this video because I was confused about the tones in Thai. Thank you for your useful explanations. I feel that I can practice on my own now. I'm going to visit your channel often from now. สวัสดีค่ะ
Betsy Alvarado thank you for watching my video and find it helpful. All the best with your Thaï learning. Feel free to ask any questions you have. My IG is SpeakThaiPossible. im veey active over there for any quesrions :) muchas gracias kaaaaa
Brilliant lesson, thankyou
Thank you for visiting my channel kaaa 🙏🏽
this video is a great help and using the English words as a guide to help with the tones is a good idea. very enjoyable educational advice. please make more.
i've been struggling with the tones for ages and this really helped me to get to grips with them, thanks
That makes me happy to hear!! Keep practicing kha there is no such a shortcut. So be patient with tone practice
Great video and lesson. Thank you, Kru Naam!
Rob(Thailand) I’m happy you like it sûu sûu na kha
One of the best thai tones explanation videos I've watched so far. Although I am still having some difficulties in differentiating falling tone from high tone, it still sounds similar to me. Hopefully you'll make video just for falling tone and high tone 😊
Check out the tone drill playlist. There are lots of exercise. The excercise for high tone and falling is coming later on. Still producing them :)
Thanks for the great presentation I was in Thailand from the beginning of Mars 2020 till mid-April 2020. I could not see everything I wanted due to covid-19 lock-down. I will definitely return again and thanks for sharing your insights about the Thai language tones.
it's so greatttttttttttt I am so impressed
장석호 thank you khaaa 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Amaizing explanation!!!!! First time in my entire life I understand!!!! Thanks a lot!!!! Greetings from MÉXICO
You are GREAT! 👍💯
thank you for watching and leaving me a comment ka. how does it help you? :)
I’m retiring to Thailand in one year. I’ve been going to Chiang Mai twice a year for the last five years. This year I’ve been really trying to add to my vocabulary and pronunciation and tone. Your videos are really helpful and I like your style of explaining the language. It makes a lot more sense to me as I’m studying. 🙏
Excellent teacher. Your personality shines through on this video. Subscribed
Thank you kha 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This was probably one of the best Thai tone videos I have seen yet! Very well done!
Northern Thai Garden Guy thank you very much for leaving such a meaningful comment. I’m very thrilled to hear that. Kop Khun kaaaaa 🙏🏽

I'm been learning Thai for about 7 years on off and I still stuff up the tones some times. this video probably helped me more than anything else.
Wayne Thompson thank you Khun Wayne🙏🏽 I’m happy that this helps you. Check out other tone training videos on the playlist for a practice

@@SpeakThaiPossibleWithNaam Thank YOU for all the work and the effort you put in your videos ❣❣❣
This is the best beginner Thai tone video explanation I've seen. Using "Yeah Uhh Hey What Well" is a great way to show the differences. Thanks / subscribed. Mr tone-deaf .
Thank you khaaaa 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This video is very helpful. Of course, there cannot be an exact mapping with English words; however your approximation is a good start. Daily listening and practice with native speakers is the key.
Ur videos r educating as wel as entertaining. Its fun and learn ❤❤
indumathi m thank you kaaaaa

Thank you for your comment kha!
EXCELLENT!!! The best approach to Thai tones I've seen! Entertaining too!
Stu Harris thank you kha. Continue the drill in the All about Thaï tones playlist for better pronunciation :)
@@SpeakThaiPossibleWithNaam I will look at that playlist. I discovered your videos just two weeks ago. They are all very good. Ratanaporn Tangprasert is my teacher. Perhaps you know her.
I know her kha Khruu noi :)
I am applying this same strategy to Vietnamese tones. It's a really useful and creative strategy. ขอบคุณ! Vielen dank! Cảm ơn!
My german bf really loves this video! thx
This is really helpful
quenie dominique abastillas thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment ka. 🙏🏽

Love from 🇵🇭 Philippines
this was very helpful and entertaining 😄 maraming salamat from the philippines!!
This is great, but where is part 2, etc.?
Ok, I love the robot part.
Smart, sweet, pretty! You're the whole package!
😊😊😊😊Thank youuu
Great idea with the model words in English. This video may actually be able to learn me the tones (finally). I really have trouble hearing them, but this is definitely an eye opener. Thank you!
For a beginner who has a tone issue, the key is you need to listen a lot to train your ear and practice by pronouncing it word by word to make sure you make it right. Check my IG or other tone training videos to practice your tones nakha.
That was a great explanation better than my Thai teacher at a Thai language school. Now I have to keep practicing.
BK K thank you kha. Check out the Tone drill playlist. It’s useful :)
Awesome teaching！Thank you so much!

This is a very good introduction to pronouncing Thai tones For someone starting to learn the Thai language. I have been living in Thailand for a couple of years and I have no problem enunciating the tones when I know which tone should apply to a word. More difficult is being able to hear Thai tones in conversational Thai, and remembering which tone to use to give the syllable you’re pronouncing the meaning you intend. Using the wrong tone, or applying no town at all, can make your spoken in Thai unintelligible to a Thai person. I once told the parents of a small child that their son “likes to ride horses“, with disastrous results as what the parents heard from my mouth was, he likes to eat dog sh*t.” And I once got slapped in the face by young lady I tried to describe as “beautiful“, but using the wrong tone had me calling her “bad luck“. One day I will master employing the correct tone, if I only live long enough…
