Pronunciation Practice Drills

Each video has a female speaker who pronounces a consonant three times, and then a male speaker. Each of the speakers is a Thai native speaker who is using standard Thai pronunciation.

Each video is available in HD so click on the HD button at the bottom of the player and size for a full-screen view to be able to read all details on the Thai consonant flash cards.

Tones and Syllable Length

Two key factors beyond making the correct sound (place and manner of articulation of the mouth and larynx), it is helpful to track the tones against the graphical tone indicators (the lines underneath the English phonetic transcription). These show the relative frequency of tone as well as the duration (length of the line).
