Title: I want to learn speak Thai, advice wanted
Post by: Jeroen1 on December 09, 2013, 11:27:51 PM
Hi ,i want to learn speak thai in a quicker and better way than just learning a little bit in every day life. This is too slow and often not good thai. I can not afford a teacher who charges 300 to 500 baht an hour. Any advice as to how or where (in Buriram city or close to it) i can do this the best/ easiest way is welcome. Maybe you have experience with learning methods, or are you someone who can teach me , or do you know where i can learn. Thanks so far..

Depends on if you want to speak 'real Thai' or 'Isaan Thai'!

Real Thai, like i said i'mlearning a little everyday on the street, but this is often slang and i prefer to be able to speak anywhere in Thailand without being misunderstood, laughed at or being treated like a farmer.

Our tutor fees are calculated by the hour, and not by the amount of students.

That means that if you have a friend or family member, for example, that would like to study too then the tutor fees could be shared.

Please feel free to contact us for further details.

Yep both the websites above are very good. http://www.thai-language.com/ is useful as a general reference site too.
