This may have been discussed about elsewhere.....

I am wanting to learn the language and because i have a Thai partner (like most here) already have one foot in the door for help and corrections....

I understand this venture will be a big challenge for me so need to start at the bottom of the mountain and slowly ascend step by step.... Only interested in speaking really..... Writing may or may not come later....

My question is, has anyone here learnt the language by online tutoring providers ? and if so, because there is many, can anyone recommend any.....

I want my schooling to start asap 555

Im not that smart when it comes to learning a new language so gave up learning / dating Thai's and married a Filipina, much easier....555


But seriously Im interested to see how you go, my wife and I are currently in negotiations to buy a Thai resturant and we have discussed her learning Thai as we will be employing Thai staff. Plus we have lots of Thai friends.

I should have done that 20 years ago, but I didn't realize I would still be doing this 20 years later. Now I'm too bloody old and all I've done is pick up a few phrases. 555

The thread is fantastic ....... Thanks to Chob....... I have already started and already are familiar with the simple common words for a sentence.....

Pom .... Chan .... Ter ..... Kow ..... pbai .... etc etc is very useful.....

As recommended by Chob, i have made up a pocket card and am practicing when ever i can....

Last night i sent SI a text message using some of these words to form a sentence and she was stoked that i have started to make an effort to learn some of the Lango.......

Happy days......................... :)

Interesting video about learning new languages. I've always felt that rigid and structured language learning isn't the best way. Learning has to be intuitive and natural, like babies learning.

This is good teachers and polyglots talking about natural language learning the way kids pick things up.

That's when I made good progress with my Thai when my little bloke started to talk and i was learning with him plus the need as I'd moved away from Phuket where English is widely spoken and needed the Thai much more often out in the boonies and around CM.
