thai

learning this language is very difficult. learning the korean alphabet was relatively easy. every character has one sound, no special way to say it. ka is almost always ka.

in thai, there's three tiers of letters, low mid high. and each of those tiers you have to say in a certain way depending on where it is in a word. so every letter has a beginning sound and an ending sound, one of three classes, and 5 potential tones.

this may take me awhile to learn.

i think it's pretty similar to learning chinese. (LEARNING CHINESE IS VERY, VERY HARD. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH)
