Simply beautiful...but I didn't understand how closely the hand motions and gesturing are related to the sounds/alphabet. Does anybody else get it?

He uses his hands to show the shapes of the Thai letters. Makes sense to the Thai audience because they know the alphabet and can see that he is using his hands to 'write' the letters in the air.

His hands form the shape of the Thai letters, his posture (high vs. low) indicates where the vowels are placed around the initial consonant of each syllable

That makes a lot easier language learning. I mean sound learning.

Your second sentence was almost perfect. It should have been, "That makes language learning a lot easier", or "That makes learning a language a lot easier." Good job, though.

I didn't know that synesthesia could help with language-learning.  Interesting. You're a lucky person.
