TIPS

- Different tones applied to a word may change the meaning so try to listen to the audio carefully and repeat the words or phrases several times first or practice with the locals to get the hang of it.

- Pronouns are gender-specific, like I for example. For females it's 'Chan' or 'Di-Chan' and for males it's 'Pom'.

- Apart from pronouns there are the words that apply to the end of a sentence where we use 'Krap' for a male and 'Ka' for a female.

- Other things to be aware of when reading the transliterations of Thai words are:

-'Ph' is pronounced as a soft 'P' as in 'pie'. It is NEVER used to make an 'F' sound

- 'P' on its own is used for a hard 'P' which can sound almost like a 'B'

- 'Th' is pronounced as a soft 'T' sound as in 'top'. Thai does not have a 'th' sound as in 'the'

- 'Kh' is used for a soft 'K' sound, while 'K' on its own is a hard 'K' which is close to a 'G'
