If you study Thai for long-term work or studying abroad, you need to master all aspects of knowledge systematically, and you want to learn it quickly and accurately. I think it's best to find a good teacher, without going into details about the pros and cons.

Learn oral expressions: Here are the pronunciations and modal particles in spoken English. Let me give you some chestnuts-"no" in Thai. Although the spelling in writing is mai (falling tone), only mei or mi can be heard in daily oral English. The Thai word "or" is written as "reu", but pronounced as "leu", instead of playing the tongue in spoken English. Although the Thai words "I" and "He" are written in a rising tone, that is, they fall first and then rise, but when they are read quickly, they can't hear the healthy part and become high-profile ......
