Abstract: This study investigates English pronunciation problems for Phu-Thai native speakers learning English as a foreign language and the seriousness of each problem. The subjects comprised 10 Phu-Thai native speakers who are secondary school students, selected by a purposive sampling method. The research tools was an English consonant pronunciation test consisting of a list of words with single consonants and double clusters in final positions. The results of the study indicated that Phu-Thai student encountered pronunciation problems on both English base form and double clusters in word-final positions. Among the word-final base forms with which the students had problems were /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/, and /w/, with a moderate degree of seriousness, /m/ and /n/, with high degree of seriousness, and /l/, with a very high degree of seriousness. The problematic word-final clusters included /ps/, /ks/, /nz/, /lz/, /rz/, /bd/, /gd/, /vd/, /nt/, and /nk/, with a high degree of seriousness, /ts/, /fs/, /rs/, /bz/, /dz/, /gz/, /vz/, /lp/, /mz/, /zd/, /st/, /mp/, and /rt/, with a very high degree of seriousness. The findings also imply the influence of the learners' mother tongue upon learning a foreign language.
