The following are some of my experiences in learning Thai for your reference and hope to help you:
1. communicate more.
At first, I only knew what I heard and said. If I spend a lot of time with Thais, I can learn everyday language quickly. Maybe my pronunciation is not so accurate, but I can have a simple communication with Thai people. ?
2. Spelling and pronunciation
The next step is to learn to read and write, which will take some time. I didn't learn to read and write until I heard that I had a little foundation First, I want to learn letters, vowels, consonants and tones. I think it is necessary to spend some time studying hard. It may be difficult at first, but it will get better in the future. There is often a feeling of being suddenly enlightened. Why is this word pronounced like this, spelled and pronounced like this? There is a reason, and it feels quite interesting. ?
3. For example:
Personally, I feel that Thai and Chinese have some similarities. Just as learning Chinese is based on Pinyin Table, learning Thai has its own Pinyin Table. 44 (commonly used 42) consonants, combined with the knowledge behind, I arranged an order for it:
3. 1 ? There are nine middle consonants:? Middle consonants can be divided into voiced and unvoiced.
3.2 ? High consonant 1 1 (often used as 10): (nothing special to pay attention to).
3.3.？ 24 low consonants (usually 23):? This 13 is a double low consonant, that is, the pronunciation in the high consonant can be found in the low consonant, but the tone is different.
3.4. (This 10 is a monosyllabic low consonant, and there are no brothers and sisters with similar pronunciations).
3.5.？ I think there are two ways to classify vowels: single vowel (18), compound vowel (6) and special vowel (8), and long vowel (12), short vowel (12) and special vowel (8). I prefer the second category, which is more conducive to spelling.
4. Grammar
Then there is the problem of grammar. Personally, I feel that there is almost nothing particularly memorable in Thai. Except for the attribute, the word order of adjectives is opposite to that of Chinese, and other feelings are similar to that of Chinese. After learning the main sentence patterns, as long as you increase your vocabulary, listen, speak and read more, your level will naturally improve.
5. advanced:?
Gradually accumulate with daily materials. At this stage, you should be eager to practice what you have learned! Then, as relatively simple materials, I recommend Thai drama Thai Shadow (speaking and listening), Thai songs (listening and reading), Thai Twitter, Instagram and so on. Follow the Thai drama "Thai Shadow", don't just pay attention to the plot, but watch it with the purpose of learning. Copy simple sentences, and copy common words slowly.
6. Conclusion:
There are so many skills about learning Thai, I hope I can help you.
