I'd be interested in getting the course in Thai script. How will you distribute it? A pdf would be ideal. Please advise when it's ready. Thanks and "chalk dee".

yeah, learning thai script would be neat and maybe frustrating as well. aren't there like 4 or 5 symbols for the same sound? (kh) and i cannot get any answer as to why or how that is set up, so maybe having someone explain this would be great

Hello everyone,
Well long time I wrote anything, since I havent found anything regarding the FSI Level-2 Audio but I found the DLI Thai resources on ERIC as someone pointed out here in another message.
You can go to ERIC on this URL
And enter "defense language inst thai" in the search box and download all DLI Material except the Audio, now one must wonder where the Audio resources might be, will they ever come to ERIC or is that an copyright issue ? ... Anyone ?

thealchemist,
The consonants are broken up into 3 classes: low, middle, and high. The consonant class helps to determine the tone of the syllable which is why there are multiple letters. Same sound, different class.
This is only a partial answer though, because there are many duplicates and I haven't received a good answer yet as to why. For example, there are 3 high class letter "S"
There is a good video on youtube that explains most of this very well if you're interested. Search for Thai Tone rules.

Although they have EXACTLY the same sound, there are major differences between the alphabets. Usually they signify the origin of the word. There are also some spelling rules (Pali spelling rule) eg ข ฆ ฉ ฌ ฐ ฑ ถ ธ ผ ภ generally cannot be an ending consonant. Anyone has a problem learning Thai please do not hesitate to ask me. I really want to start being a TFL teacher soon !
