Read Thai PHASE 1 - The Consonants - ครูกานต์

Welcome to Phase 1. Learning to read is hands-down THE MOST IMPORTANT part of learning to communicate well in Thai. If you want to waste your time and try to learn to speak Thai without first putting in the work to read properly - don't bother with this deck. But if you really want to learn to speak well - this is your first step. A better way to study Thai consonants. No inaccurate transcriptions, just clear and accurate audio. The letters of Thai do not represent English letters, they represent sounds (most of which we have in English). This really comes into play when studying vowels. But that's a different deck. I have added notes to every card that explains the audio, with pronunciation tips and random helpful facts about each one. I recommend saying the name of the consonant when you see the consonant first, and writing it when you hear the audio first. This will ensure that you don't just recognize letters but comprehend them enough to write them down. To specifically address the concerns of some, the two letters that are missing are no longer used in Thai writing, and therefore it is a waste of time and mental effort to learn them. The consonant classes are not included because that has to do with tone rules, which I believe should be learned separately and only after you have a good hold on both the consonants and vowels of Thai.
