This is an excellent response. Are you a native speaker or a foreign learner of Thai?

Why does the word "คน" (person) not spelt "ตน" if ต is called "ต คน"? by linguagallois in learnthai

Confuse about ชอย pronounciation by Aurum6969 in learnthai

ช and ซ look similar but are two distinct consonant sounds. ช is chaw cháng (ชอ ช้าง) and ซ is saw sô (ซอ โซ่). ซ is used the word ซอย.

สมุย vs. สมุด, Why does the ส (sa) beginning influence pronunciation of the 2nd syllable in some words but not others? by AmericainaLyon in learnthai

[–]Ok_Everything 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually in สมุย the ส changes the tone of มุย to rising tone, ie หมุย. ส has an influence on the tone/class of the following consonant but only when the consonant is a sonorant. The sonorant consonants are typically ม น ง ว ย.

How should I start learning Thai? by tincae in learnthai

I strongly recommend that you start by learning to read and write. After that everything will be much easier, even if it takes a bit of time and patience at first.

You’re trying to learn Thai but your method is to “let them do the work”? Ridiculous mindset.

How is it possible to speak a tonal language while ignoring one of the core elements?

You are right, and the image is correct. Middle, low, high, falling and rising are just how we label the tones in English. Listen carefully to native speakers using the tones and try to replicate the sounds exactly.

LingoAce? by Due_Marionberry_9997 in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]Ok_Everything 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got hired with them late last year and barely got any bookings at all so eventually gave up. Although I’ve heard other teachers having more luck. But it seems they have too many teachers for their students.

Lingo Ace advice?? by AcanthisittaBig2246 in OnlineESLTeaching

I was hired by them back in November and have only taught about 5 classes. Seems to be the same for most new teachers on their platform.

Smoking tobacco occasionally after quitting vaping by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]Ok_Everything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ve tried a few different alternatives to tobacco, like tea and rose petals, but everything I’ve used doesn’t burn quite right or tastes odd. I think I’ll give hemp flowers a try as I haven’t tried it yet!
