Scott, how is it going?
I stumbled upon this guy, Stuart Jay Raj. Have you heard of him? He speaks very good Thai as well as many other languages.
In one of his YouTube clips, he talked about how to memorize the phonetics of the Thai alphabets.
Thanks, Edwin.
I found a video on YouTube of him translating Thai into other languages. It's pretty impressive!
A while back I happened across his blog. He had some information on learning Thai, but it was oriented toward people who can read and speak Indic languages, so it didn't help me much. I'll look for more of his YouTube videos.
