"I learned Thai writing for the first time! The examples of the sounds within English words were very helpful to master pronunciation. It was all explained in a thorough and patient way and you answered almost all of my questions. The most challenging aspect was remembering the differences between all of the symbols, and I also wasn't sure in the beginning what the words meant. For example, you said 'gaww gai' but I didn't know if that was the actual name of the sound or if 'gai' was used as a tool to remember something, but I hope that makes sense now."

"Thank you for sharing this lesson! It looks like you're diving into Thai pronunciation with a focus on tone marks and vowels. The inclusion of comparison between tones and the explanation of glottal stops seems valuable for mastering the intricacies of Thai phonetics. What I found most difficult was the comparison of the five tones and understanding how subtle differences in tone can change the meaning of a word. Tone marks can be challenging for learners, especially when distinguishing between similar tones."

"I learned more about the different tones. Also, the way you explained dead and live syllables changed everything for me! I've been studying Thai for a long while and never had these explained like you have. It helps a lot to understand more deeply. The high tone was the hardest part, but your explanation and the chart was really helpful. I think my pronunciation is already better!"

"I tried to learn to read and write Thai for 2 months about 6 years ago. It didn't go well and I stopped and just focused on being able to speak which has gone extremely well for me. With that being said, I think I just learned more in the first video with Sarah than all my other time put together. I can tell she is a top notch teacher already and very kind to offer a free look at her teaching approach."
