  1. Chapter 1 Thai Consonants

    Start with the 44 consonant letters, their shared initial and final sounds, and the middle, high, and low classes that drive Thai tone reading.
  2. Chapter 2 Thai Vowels

    Learn the vowel system as movable signs around a consonant, including short/long pairs, diphthongs, extra vowels, and no-mark vowel patterns.
  3. Chapter 3 Blending Initial Consonant and Vowel

    Combine an initial consonant and a vowel sign into one readable open syllable, even when the vowel is written before, above, below, or around the consonant.
  4. Chapter 4 Final Consonants

    Study how written final consonants collapse into a smaller set of final sounds, including stop finals, sonorant finals, and glide endings.
  5. Chapter 5 Live and Dead Syllables

    Learn the live/dead distinction that connects final consonants and vowel length to Thai tone rules.
  6. Chapter 6 Thai Tones

    Use consonant class, live/dead syllable type, vowel length, and tone marks to predict the five Thai tones.
  7. Chapter 7 Consonant Clusters & Leading Consonants

    Read true clusters, leading-consonant patterns, fake clusters, hidden vowels, and the special tone behavior of ห นำ and อ นำ.
  8. Chapter 8 Additional Marks & Special Symbols

    Finish the core reading system with silent-letter marks, repetition, abbreviation marks, and common Thai writing symbols.
  9. Chapter 9 Reading Thai Drills
