Thai Sounds Missing in English

ร [r]

English speakers usually substitute a plain 'r' or flap, but Thai ร is a tapped or trilled r; trill the tip of the tongue lightly against the roof of the mouth.

ง [ŋ]

English speakers often add a vowel before it at the start of a word, but Thai allows syllable-initial ng; keep the back of the tongue raised without a preceding sound.

ข [kʰ]

English speakers tend to say a plain 'k', but Thai ข is strongly aspirated; release a noticeable puff of air after the k.

ต [t]

English speakers often use an aspirated or flap-like t, but Thai ต is unaspirated and dental; place the tongue against the teeth with no air burst.

Thai Words That Trip People Up

  • The final ะ misleads English speakers into adding an extra vowel; it actually ends in a short open vowel with a glottal stop.
  • The ห is silent here and does not add an h sound; the word begins directly with the o vowel.
  • The ร misleads as a simple English r; it is actually a light trill or tap at the start.
  • The พ looks like a p but is an aspirated ph sound; English speakers often drop the strong puff of air.
  • The ไ suggests a long vowel but the word ends with a short, abrupt m sound.
  • The ร at the beginning is often misread as a plain English r; it requires a trill or tap.
  • The ทำ uses a short a vowel that English speakers lengthen, and the ไม ends with an unexpected short i.
  • the silent letter at the start is อ (o ang) before ย
  • The ร in เพราะ is trilled and the final sound is a short o, not the English 'raw' pronunciation.
  • The ห is silent and the ร is a trill; English speakers often merge it with a plain r sound.
  • The ห is silent at the start and the ง is a final velar nasal that feels abrupt without a following vowel.
  • The หนึ่ง has a final ng that English speakers often pronounce with an extra vowel or as a plain n.

Hear the Difference

  • ไก่ uses an unaspirated k while ไข่ uses an aspirated kh; English speakers tend to merge both as the same k sound.
  • ดี has an unaspirated d-like stop while ตี has an unaspirated t; English speakers often fail to hear the dental t versus the stop.
  • ป่า starts with an unaspirated p while บ่า starts with an unaspirated b; English speakers merge them because both lack strong aspiration.
  • ปา uses an unaspirated p while พา uses an aspirated ph; English speakers tend to ignore the puff of air that distinguishes them.
  • ขาว has a short vowel while ข้าว has a long vowel with a following glottal; English speakers often shorten the long vowel and drop the stop.
