Nong Thai
Day 1 · Meet the 44 Thai Consonants

Let's meet the Thai consonants with Nong Thai!

Hi! Today we start Grade 1 by meeting the Thai consonants. Thai has 44 consonants in total, from ก to ฮ. Each one has a helper word that makes it easy to remember its sound.

Look at these examples: ก ไก่ (chicken), ข ไข่ (egg), ค ควาย (buffalo), ง งู (snake), จ จาน (plate) — see how the helper word makes it much easier to remember?

We don't need to memorize all 44 in one day — we'll learn a few at a time across each unit, and by the end of the course you'll know every single one!

Activity: Try saying the first 5 consonants with their helper words out loud for your parent: ก ไก่ ข ไข่ ค ควาย ง งู จ จาน
