While it is not easy for someone with limited exposure to the Thai language, it is not as difficult as you may think. There are 44 consonants and 32 vowels in the Thai Script System. There are five different tones. Yes, it sounds difficult. However, look at the brighter side. Thai grammar is straightforward; there are no changes for tenses or gender, no plurals, and no articles. Your first attempts might not seem easy, but keep trying. You can do it. This book is divided into nine chapters; each will take you through a step-by-step process to help you improve your knowledge of Thai. There are several exercises, and you will be able to check your answers with an Answer Key that is provided. The accompanying tapes will also help you to practice listening and speaking. Reading the Phonetic Writing The phonetic writing for Thai in this book is italicized and plainly written so that you can read and practice pronouncing the words without too much trouble. Vowel length is indicated by short vowels being spelled with one vowel and long vowels with two vowels. This reference diagram is just a guide. Rely on your ears and not on any Romanization for the pronunciation of Thai words and sentences. Tonal System: Usually, the tones of Thai words are governed by the main consonant, a short or long vowel sound, the final consonant, and the tone mark, if there is one. (See the accompanying tables on pages 10 and 11.) Also, the rules are quite complicated to understand, and it is not easy to keep track of them. Therefore, the best recommendation is for you to memorize each word and to try to mimic the tone on the accompanying tape, or if you have the opportunity, observe and listen to a Thai’s pronunciation. Go for it and good luck.
