Synopsis

This book is an introductory manual on acquiring a practical knowledge of the Siamese (Thai) language, geared towards learners of all backgrounds. It is the first of its kind written in English and avoids the pitfall of using Romanised versions of Siamese words (which can be misleading and counterproductive for learners). Instead, it provides an in-depth examination of tones and the various categories of consonants used in Siamese, along with vocabulary and exercises to improve reading, writing, and comprehension. The author draws on extensive experience teaching Siamese to English speakers, and offers clear explanations and guidance on topics often found challenging by learners, including the use of designatory particles and the differences between High, Middle, and Low Class Consonants. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in learning Siamese, and its insights make it a valuable addition to any learner's toolkit.
