Is Thai Lanuage diffcult?

 

I’ve come to realise that most of the challenges we face when learning a language don’t exist as part of the language, they exist as part of ourselves.

For instance, the Thailand language uses its own alphabet, has a tonal element, and can be challenging to interpret for people used to speaking English. However, it's also built on a grammar that's much simpler than many other languages, and new words are often compounded of the ones you already know. This means that once you've mastered the tunes, you don't need a large vocabulary or grasp of complex sentences.

 

Is Thai really all that hard, or are we just making a big deal of it? Here's a look at the Thai language, the process of learning it, and what you should know. One big factor in whether or not you find Thai difficult to learn will depend on who teaches you and the methods used. Like just about any other language, there are elements that are simple, and some that are difficult.

 

What Do We Mean by ‘Difficult’? The truth is this, when most people say that something is ‘hard’ or ‘difficult’ what they really mean is that it’s going to take time, effort and it’s not going to come easy. All of those things apply to learning a language

but I don’t believe learning a language is difficult. You see, language is a complex system made up of many parts and small details, however, all of these can be learnt easily when the necessary time is dedicated, and an effective approach is adopted.
