Biggest challenges for Thai speakers learning English

If you know what’s hard in advance, you can learn faster. These are the main things that slow down Thai speakers when they learn English.

  • Thai is tonal — five tones change word meaning, but English uses tones only for emphasis
  • Thai verbs never change — tense is expressed through time words or context
  • English has articles — Thai has none and uses classifiers instead
  • Thai script is an abugida — completely different from the Latin alphabet

Focus on one challenge at a time. Small daily practice beats long study sessions.
