Consonant Trainer

Thai consonants come in three classes, and the class decides which tone a syllable gets. This is where that stops being a table you memorise and becomes something you can see.

No signup. Six drills, pick any.

Today’s Plan works through the classes gradually, using consonants from words you have already met.

What a round looks like

Six ways at the same problem

01

The class system, drilled from every direction

Identify a consonant’s class, match a sound to its letter, sort a set into classes, or work the two distinctions that trip English speakers hardest: aspiration (พ against ท) and unreleased final stops. Different drills because the same fact is hard in different directions.

Six drill choices: pick the class, match sound to letter, sort by class, aspiration drill, final stop drill, and consonant essentials
Six drills, and a teach-first mode that explains before it asks.

All forty-four, not a convenient subset

Nine mid, eleven high, twenty-four low — the whole inventory, including the rare ones you will meet in a name or a loanword and nowhere else. Consonant Essentials teaches before it tests, so the classes arrive as a system rather than a list.

The class of a consonant plus the shape of a syllable is most of what decides its tone. That is why this drill sits under the tone work rather than beside it.

What the classes are for

Tone Pairs trains the ear that has to hear the result the class system predicts.

The letters themselves

Sound-to-Letter Match groups the forty-four by the sound they make, which is the easier way in.
