Thai is a tonal language. If you just want to learn how to speak Thai without learning the Thai writing, you may be confused with the tone.

The confusion can be eliminated by using the phonetic symbols to indicate high, low, falling, and rising tones.

When we transcribe the Thai words into English phonetically, sometimes the learner may not get exact pronunciation because English has less vowels. Some Thai vowels may be difficult to pronounce for non-native Thai speaker.

It is necessary to use a cassette tape in corresponding to the lesson so that you can hear the correct pronunciation
