There are two important things you need to focus on in order to get your Thai pronunciation correctly and clearly;
- Tones
- Vowel sounds
In this lesson teacher Pear show you 12 Thai similar sounding words that often confuse you. Here are the list of those words:
- เคย /keoi/ ever – คุย /kui/ talk
- ผัก /pàk/ vegetable – พัก /pák/ rest, stay
- ระวัง /rá-wang/ be careful – ระหว่าง /rà-wàang/ between
- อยาก /yàak/ want to – ยาก /yâak/ difficult
- ทำ /tam/ – ถาม /tăam/ to ask a question
- ข้างหลัง /kâang-lăng/ – ข้างล่าง /kâang lâang/

Just a quick thanks to Kruu Mot & Kruu Pear. I have learnt a lot from your short videos over the years. While my Thai is still not 100 percent fluent it’s still very good now and I still learn something new nearly every day.
My girlfriend doesn’t speak much English. We’ve been together for nearly 8 months now and we never speak English. We talk about everything together and our relationship is 100 percent in Thai.
Thanks again and keep up the good work
Regards
Steve

Khob khun khrab kruu Pear. Another very helpful video ?? Please could you do a video on the different long and short khao sounds, such as: rice ข้าว, white ขาว, news ข่าว, he, she เขา, hill, mountain เขา, enter เข้า, knee เข่า ?
สวัสดีค่ะคุณพอล Thank you for your kind comment. I am happy to hear that you found this video useful in your Thai learning. 🙂
I made a video on similar tone sounds here, although it was made many years ago it is still useful: https://learnthaiwithmod.com/2013/10/learn-thai-different-tone-different-meaning/
