Here is the recording of tone drills (possibilities) for 9 middle class consonants.

Reference Material: TSLTK Reading and Writing Chapter 1 (Page 6).

I decided to record these syllables for my students so that they can listen and practice all the possible tones that we can produce according to the vowels a (short) and aa (long). However, most of those syllables have no meanings and especially they (with short vowel and rising tone) don't exist in any Thai words (we don't have words in Thai).

Considering the tones that we can't use in our daily life, you might skip the words/syllables that are not applicable.

Here are examples:

กะ ก้ะ ก๊ะ ก๋ะ

กา ก่า ก้า ก๊า ก๋า

จะ จ้ะ จ๊ะ จ๋ะ

จา จ่า จ้า จ๊ะ จ๋า

Sawatdee ka. สวัสดีค่ะ In this episode, I am introducing real Thai we Thai people use in daily life. Please listen carefully and try to repeat after me.

Long time no see (hear)! It is time to get back on the Podcast and practise speaking Thai clearly again. I hope that my channel will help Thai learners to be more passionate with listening to Thai language through stories, Thai lessons, News, interviews and etc. Feel free to advise if there are some topics you want to listen to.
