learn thai language

If you learn the Thai language you might already know that Thai is spoken very different in various parts of the country. In our lessons we generally use “Bangkok Thai” which is understood throughout the whole country. Part of learning a language is also training your listening skills and these lessons are exactly for that. First you hear a short conversation and then we explain you each part of the conversation step by step.

This not only trains your listening skills but also gives you an understanding about the sentence structure and speaking habits of the Thai language. The video of this lesson, transcript and PDF are available for Premium Members.

In this lesson a husband comes home to his wife and brings another women with him. You hear what they say to each other right after he comes through the door.



Complex Thai Vowels (Video)

Learn the complex Thai vowels in this lesson. Each vowel has either a long or short sound. In the Thai language, each vowel is pronounced with either a short or a long duration which alters the meaning of words! This is very much unlike English in which the meaning of words remains the same no matter how long you pronounce a vowel sound. Most Thai vowels can not stand alone and are either placed before, after, below or above consonants. Complex vowels consist of several parts and can be placed around the consonants. Please refer to our Thai alphabet reference for a transcript of this lesson.
