D1 · Tone by ear
Which tone do you hear? Guess. Guessing is allowed today.
This one needs your ears. Scan the code at the top of the sheet to hear it on your phone, then mark your answers here.
- ขา ( ) mid( ) low( ) falling( ) high( ) rising
- ข่า ( ) mid( ) low( ) falling( ) high( ) rising
- ค่า ( ) mid( ) low( ) falling( ) high( ) rising
- ค้า ( ) mid( ) low( ) falling( ) high( ) rising
- คา ( ) mid( ) low( ) falling( ) high( ) rising
D3 · Copy and trace
Once more, three times each, and one new shape for luck. Slowly. Most Thai letters start at the small loop, so start there.
