About this product

Learning Thai offers a gateway to understanding Thailand’s vibrant culture, history, and people. Spoken by over 70 million people, Thai is the official language of Thailand and an important language in Southeast Asia.

Thai is a tonal language with five distinct tones, where the meaning of a word can change based on the tone used. The Thai script is unique, composed of 44 consonants and 15 vowel symbols, which can be combined into numerous sounds. While learning the script is essential for reading and writing, Romanization (transliteration) can help with pronunciation at the beginning.
