Read on Twitter
i started around mid 2018 when i first became active on twitter. but i wasn't posting translations back then cause i didn't feel confident enough. i translated for friends from time to time in messages https://twitter.com/krisstttppps/status/1321661006653714432

tips: you have to find yourself falling in love with the language and the culture first to have an appreciation for it. else, you'll give up easily. i know people want to learn so they can watch things unsubbed, that was my initial thinking too
but that thinking made me stop from learning it for awhile cause i got tired of it. i picked it up again 2019 and found myself wanting to know more about the culture and finding interesting shows beyond gmmtv and my professor introduced me to a lot of thai-culture things
my brother also worked in thailand for a year. my uncle (he's quite young so we're close) was a monk so that made it easier for me to have actual people who are immersed in the culture
where to start: alphabet. memorize all of it though it's a lot. i learned about 10 things in a day and kept reviewing. after that, words. start with basic conversation like greetings and introductions, pronouns.
what i did to pick up sentence structure was to encircle words from a statement and dissect them into parts to know the words and finding the pattern
after that, it's just mostly building up your vocabulary (and knowledge about the culture)
