HideHello everyone! Pronunciation is an important topic for both beginning and advanced students alike, so we think everyone can learn something from this lesson!
Hi Christopher Davis,
For certain lesson series, the lesson notes and the lesson transcript would be identical, hence we only have the notes in such cases. Please download the Lesson Notes file.
Kind regards,

Wow.
Why didn't you do a transcript for these lessons???
Hello Bjoern,
Thank you very much for your comment. I'm here to answer a comment and question as an experienced Thai language tutor. I'm not a writer for those lessons. The writer is American,he compare sound with English letter not way it pronounce in Thai. He is already correct.
-bp Harder sound than -p in English. The Thai -bp is more like between the -p and -b sounds.
-dt Harder sound than -t in English. Thai -dt is more like between the -t and -d sounds. It is very similar to -t as in "sixty."
Language is to practice and listen from native speaker and try to copy. Hope thatโs help. Please let us know if you have any future questions about Thai language. I will be so glad to helps. We wish you have a good progress with your Thai.
Have a nice day.

Hello Parisa,
Thank you formloser answer.
You should change your lesson then. Because in the lesson you say: -dt is harder than -t and -bp is harder than -p which is wrong as you just confirmed...!!
Hello Bjoern,
Thank you very much for your comment. Really sorry to hear that it hard for you. "dt" เธเธญ เนเธเนเธฒ sound in Thai language is a sound between -d and-t and it harder than when you say only "d" in เธเธญ เนเธเนเธ
Hope thatโs help. Please let us know if you have any future questions about Thai language. I will be so glad to helps. We wish you have a good progress with your Thai.
Have a nice day.

-dt, should this not been harder than -d but softer than -t so somewhere between -d and-t. In the lesson you say itโs harder than -t but between -d and -t which seems to be awkward.
Same goes for -bp
Hello Ace,
Thank you very much for your comment and question. This ห is a falling tone symbol. Hope that's help. Please let us know if you have any future questions about Thai language. I will be so glad to helps. We wish you have a good progress with your Thai.
Have a nice day.

I've been learning Thai for more than a week and I'm not sure if the symbol ^ is used as a rising tone or falling tone. Everywhere is giving me unsure thoughts which may mess up my pronunciation.
Hello Aleksi,
Thank you very much for your comment and share your story. We are so glad to heard. You have a good chance to try out your pronunciation, get your best out of your visit. Thai is not easy, it the matter of practicing with a native. Don't forget to share with us after you come back. We would love to hear about it. Please let us know if you have any future questions about Thai language. I will be so glad to helps.
Have a nice day.
