Learn the Thai Alphabet

**dirtydog** · 27-07-2009, 05:11 AM

If you spend hours each day staring at this gif there is a slight chance you might learn in what order the Thai alphabet comes in and what the letters look like, if you left click on it it will take you to a page that will show you how to pronounce the letters, when I get time I might even add some wav or wmv files so you can hear how each Thai letter is pronounced, or you could right click on it and save it to your pc.

Has anybody got any of those kiddie books with the dots for Thai letters showing where to start writing them and that, those would probably be a good idea to upload.

Thai Alphabet

The first video to learn Thai has been completed, I think 4 letters per video is the best bet as Thai is so damn hard to learn.

So we got
ko kai (chicken)
kho khai (egg)
kho khuat (bottle)
kho khwai (water buffalo)

So in 11 days time everybody should have learned the Thai alphabet, probably...

Once you are getting the hang of the Thai alphabet and know the majority of the letters then this is the next video, this is the whole lot of 44 Thai consonants in one go.

D.D. This is a great idea. Only wish that my addled old brain would let me memorize things!

**robuzo** · 29-07-2009, 11:52 AM

Thanks, DD. My 3-year-old is learning the alphabet- he was doing OK with the usual stuff (posters, etc.), but really enjoys this.

Thats why I done them in blocks of 4, 1 block a day and in 11 days you would have learnt the whole Thai alphabet, 20 minutes in the morning and 20 in the evening and you should have it down pat

**SEA Traveler** · 29-07-2009, 01:56 PM

DD,

forgive the old times question here.... does the pronunciations of the Thai alphabet symbols as noted in above frames with the anglesized alphabet also represent the English words in ()???

good tool though. thanks for posting.

**dirtydog** · 29-07-2009, 02:56 PM

Use this as an example.
so suea (tiger)
suea translated into English means tiger.

How about road signs (town names, etc.)? That can be helpful.
