how do the sounds compare? 🇹🇭

In this blog, I break down Thai consonants and vowels and compare their sounds with English to make Thai reading easier for beginners.

"ใจ" (jai) means heart 💙
it’s also used to form words that describe personality and character.

Swipe to see 4 opposite pairs 👉

1️⃣ ใจดี (jai dii) kind ↔ ใจร้าย (jai ráai) mean
2️⃣ ใจแข็ง (jai khăeng) strong-willed ↔ ใจอ่อน (jai àawn) soft-hearted
3️⃣ ใจเย็น (jai yen) calm ↔ ใจร้อน (jai ráawn) impulsive
4️⃣ ใจกว้าง (jai gwâang) generous ↔ ใจแคบ (jai khâaeb) narrow-minded

“กี่ (gìi)” vs. “เท่าไหร่ (tâo-rài)”
What’s the difference? 🤔

Let’s see how to use “How much” and “How many” in Thai🇹🇭
👉 Read the full explanation on my blog! (link in comment)

A lot of my students have the same questions 🤔🇹🇭

“What should I learn first?”
“Am I really a beginner, or am I already at a higher level?”
“I’ve been learning Thai through an app, but can I actually speak it?”

It’s hard to know your real level when you’ve never had the chance to practice Thai in a real conversation.

Guess this Thai Idiom
ไก่ได้พลอย (gài dâai ploi) = A chicken gets a jewel?? 🤨

✨ Meaning:
Someone has something valuable but doesn't recognize its value or know how to make good use of it.

🔹Example
Grandpa got a new smartphone as a gift, but can't use it. It's like a chicken getting a gem.

Does your language have an idiom with a similar meaning to this? 😄
