The 5-Tone System: Why Thai Needs a Live Teacher
Thai has five lexical tones. The same syllable means completely different words depending on pitch contour. Getting tones wrong does not produce an accent — it produces a different word. A live teacher can hear your tone errors and correct them in real time; video content cannot.
| Tone | Tone Mark | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mid | No mark | มา (maa) | to come |
| Low | ่ (mai ek) | ม่า (mâa) | horse |
| Falling | ้ (mai tho) | ม้า (máa) | dog |
| High | ๊ (mai tri) | ม๊า | Used for exclamations |
| Rising | ๋ (mai jattawa) | ม๋า | mother (in some registers) |
