Caused by the one-syllable and unchanging base words the linguistic arrangements of the Thai language is rather limited. There are word combinations and different tones. Five tone levels - middle, rising, falling, high, low - so one word can have five different meanings depending on the tone. This allows diversity in expressing the language with a pleasant and melodious sound as well. The right intonation however, seems to be the biggest hindrance for foreigners in learning Thai. If you are interested in learning the language, the best way is to ask Thai people to speak the words a couple of times so you can catch the right tone.
