Hello,
Let's begin
A guide to getting started with Thai
We will be starting with reading. I know that the Thai alphabet and reading system can look intimidating, but knowing how the reading system work can help you greatly on how to correctly pronouce words. A lot of people think that they can get by without knowing how to read Thai, but after already knowing some basics, maybe just 5% of the whole system, Thai words will make more sense than if I try to put it into English phonetics. I'll try to add the pronunciation right next to each vocab so you guys can hear how they sound. If there's a blank on the pronunciation box, I haven't recorded those words yet. I'll get to it I promise.
