Stage 2: Reading and writing เรียนภาษาไทย
Start with the audio course first. Like a child learning to speak, get comfortable hearing and saying Thai before you read it. A good time to start these lessons is when you can comfortably say most of Units 1–3 from memory.
Once your ear knows the sounds, the Thai script makes much more sense, because the spelling tells you the tone.
