Context: I spent about 10 years growing up in Bangkok, I moved away to an English speaking country now. I can read Thai properly, not good at writing but I can speak enough to get what I need. Food, directions, vendors, small talk etc. I can't talk complicated things. I want to continue learning more of the language to get more confident and comfortable now that I have moved away I feel I'm rusty with it. I don't have any Thai speaking friends here so what are the best ways for me to keep up with the language?

I watched some YT linguist who suggested it is beneficial to study the phonetics of the language, to be better prepared to hear what was said, and also what is beyond the phonetics of TL.

So I looked YT about Thai pronunciation, and found that in Thai, last consonant of the syllable is not released. So it is kind of there, but also not fully voiced. So knowing about the "consonant is not released" might help to hear the shade of it.

But I cannot hear the difference yet (few dozens hours in, Pimsleur, Anki, Comprehensible Thai). Will I learn to hear the difference? Do I need to read to see the unreleased consonant to know what is there?

I used chat GPT to create a text so I can practice my reading thai 🇹🇭 but as I Thai beginner I don't know if the grammar is correct or not.

I'm doing comprehensible imput and I have a habit of wanting to know every word they say should I stop doing that and js watch the videos? And if I should stop how would I remember all the words

Like, do we say "ของเล่นเล็กนี้" (noun -> adjective -> demonstrative) or "ของเล่นนี้เล็ก" (noun -> demonstrative -> adjective)?

I believe my textbook said adjectives should be first but Ion trust it cuz there was literally a sentence in that same textbook where the demonstrative was before the main adjective. I am so confused please help me. HELP MEEE 😭 (:

As a thai person who can speak english fluently, thai for me is very hard. The pronouciation and writing for me is still a problem. If you want to leanr thai, be prepared

Hi everyone, I am new to thai language and lately I've been studying the tones - since it seems to be the most difficult part of thai for me.

I learned there are 5 of them and I kind of know how to recognize them, however I noticed that they may change depending on the surrounding tones (or am I tripping?).

For example, whenever I hear ภาษาไทย - pha(M) saa(R) thai(M) - it feels like I'm actually hearing pha(M) saa(L) thai(M) (not exactly a low tone, but a rising tone that doesn't seem to go up and stays at a low range). Are my ears not trained enough or do tones change for the sake of sentence flow? If they do change, then how to proceed in order to pronounce the words naturally instead of sounding like I'm role-playing an Asian for Hollywood movies?

I apologize if this question is sorta stupid. I have no thai friends/contacts and I'm a broke ass student who can't afford online classes from a tutor :( Thanks in advance!

Say your foreign name is "fong" and it sounds the same (or close enough) as the Thai word ฝน (rain). So the exchange might go something like this, how do I reply in Thai?
Thai person: คุณชื่ออะไร (What's your name, Khuṇ chụ̄̀x xarị)
Me: Fong, same as in ฝน ตก. ( What's the equivalent of saying this in Thai? )

Hello everyone, there's a huge discount on a Thai course on Udemy that includes so much content and basically starts from the basics and teaches writing, tones, grammar etc...
In your opinion, is gtetting a Thai course worth it? The teacher is thai qualified and there are hundreds of good reviews under it, however I am not sure and I'd need yall opinion. Thanks <3

Hey, I'm looking for someone to learn thai with. Just the basics and perhaps pronounciations. Thanks. :)

just realised how to get AI to help me with that.

prompt: please explain the following Thai sentence in English, like a teacher. explaining every word and the grammar

he'll ask for the Thai sentence. give it.

AI will very carefully explain every word and how it combines to create the sentence.

I tried with Chatgpt free and with XAi (Grok)

excellent 2 page explanation for a sentence

I am at a level of writing, where I can write relatively fluently and my hand-writing isn't that bad, but it looks nothing like an adult handwriting.

The letters look like block letters, although here and there it seems to become better. For example ร already looks pretty good.

I think it's of course a matter of practice, but actually I don't know how to simplify letters so they are still readable and distinguishable, like for example letters m and n in latin writing can just look like "waves" and pattern recognition will still kick in.

Are there any resources available or does anyone have some tips in order to make my writing look more "scripty"?

Hello, so there’s this girl at work, she’s Thai and moved here a couple years ago. Unfortunately I’ve kinda caught some feelings for her. I have a bad habit of being quiet around girls when I like them so her and I aren’t too close but I know there aren’t ill feelings between us either.

Well I’m going to be starting a new job soon and she is going to Thailand for a month. Though I’d like to just try to forget about her and move on, I would like to express my feelings to her through a note which I intend to leave in her locker.

She can speak and read English but I don’t want her to have to discern my bad English handwriting and also I thought it’d be more sincere if it were written in her native language.

I don’t really trust Google translate so if someone could please translate this message into Thai I’d really appreciate it.

The message:

Sorry that I didn’t talk to you more.

Sometimes I just don’t know what to say.

I just want you to know that I like you very much.

Hello

I want to practice readings restaurant menus written in thai. Is there a collection of someone having downloaded it from maps or something like that?

Thank you in advance :-)

Hi I've been studying for 3 months and I've got the alphabet down. I can read fluently like a child would,so I'm putting that aside for the moment,bc my listening and understanding is wayyy behind. I can't find any good input beside PBS thai and the channel comprehensible thai,but I want kids shows like the shows on BBC and Disney/Nick Jr but thai. But the problem is I live in south africa so idk if there are any. If so pls tell me the names that would be great and much appreciated

Hello, I will be in Thailand next year and I want to make the most of 3 weeks. Where can I meet people to speak thai with? I would say I'm pretty decent with basic conversation, but I want to make friends so I can continue learning. My Thai teacher is a great help, but it isn't the same as in person. When I travel to Thailand I'm looking forward to challenging myself with how much I have learned. If anyone has any spots to meet people, I'd love to know.

Hey all, I wrote a thing called Lute for learning language with reading.

A Lute user recently made a Thai language plugin, so you can try using Lute for your Thai learning if you'd like. Thai is tough to parse, and there may be some rough edges, but it's a step in the right direction.

Here's a short installation demo on YouTube, and the Lute manual.

Cheers and best wishes!

I'm confused. Please help me pronounce actors name Ploypaphas Fonkaewsiwaporn. Thank you in advance!

Also, what are the main fonts (names of those fonts) I should start getting familiar with to avoid this problem? I know there might be alot of fonts but say which 3 are most common?

Currently going through the flashcards for Thai consonants

Ex: how does the letter look in each font and what confuses people?

Question for Thai people: Does ChatGPT truly speak Thai well? Can we, as Thai language learners, fully trust ChatGPT's translations?

What are some example phrases?

a) What do they tend to say?

b) What should they say instead?

c) What is likely causing them the confusion?

Hi everybody, I ve just started learning thai and from the begining I ve assumed that will not be learning alphabet cause it seems too difficult but I ve overcome the initial fear and trying to lear. First question I have in the word for black in english: สีดำ

And second question already is there a difference in examples in the picture https://imgur.com/kEesdcW thank you in advance for the answers for sure there will be more questions to come : ) your Francis

1. Put your hand in front of your mouth.

2. Say "ka"/"ta"/"pa"

3. Feel the puff of air that comes out with the k/t/p sound.

4. Now try to say it without letting the puff of air out.

5. Congratulations, you've just pronounced ก/ต/ป.

Could someone give my tips on how to pronounce the ร when before it there is a ด sound. When I hear native speaker speakers, they pronounce one word ending in d sound and the second with r. But when I try it, is impossible, the merge as if tr. For example เเปดร้อย I cannot pronounce the t and then the rolled r (unless I make a pause of 1 second which is not feasable in speech) Thanks.

what does เอาที่สบายใจ mean
