Thai Lessons

[Shit_Happens 31]

There a few good schools about. I did a 3 months course at ABS which is in Sth Pattaya. Cost was 16K baht. I still cannot speak bloody thai but thats not the schools fault.

I downloaded the Pimsleur course and have listened to about half the lessons. My Thai is slightly more advanced than that covered by the lessons I've listened to so far, but I have noticed a couple of times when they have given the wrong tone for some words. I think they said that มาก, pronounced maak has a high tone, whereas it in fact has a falling tone.

 

I will try to listen to a few more later.

some books will help, ones written by Benjawan Poomsan Becker, the dictonary she wrote is a good one.

 

There is a lonely planet book too, its pink and blue, it is a real good book.

 

Also from BKK books, there is a yellow book, with a guy pulling his hair, that one is also very good.

this book was one of my first ones, and its falling apart right now, I always go back and read it.

 

the lonely planet one is a must have too.

 

There is another dictionary, the cover is brownish and there is a picture of a CD /keyboard on it, it is one of the best ones to get too, written by Lt.Col Bunsern

 

 

 

The best way to learn is to write down any words, or highlight the spot, show it to a thai girl, get her to read/speak the thai text version, and you will learn to pronounce the word, make sure you write it down immediately in your "english" version, so you can understand it.

 

Right now I can hold a decent conversation, buy things, eat, and travel to places where there is no english spoken..............I do not get over charged, or ripped off.

I can recommend 'Pattaya School of Languages and Computers' located on Pattaya Klang about 100 meters east of Carrefour. Their best teacher used to be (as I am not sure if she is still working there) Khun Suthida. Contact numbers: 038 360 175 or 086 367 0757.
