Thai Lessons - Beginners Part 1

I am delighted to present to you a complimentry introduction of 'Survival Thai' Online! It is intended to be a quick reference for the many students and friends of Jentana & Associates. From my personal experience of teaching Thai Language to foreign business people for over 18 years, I have come to realise that an easy-to-use pocket guide or online reference is an essential accessory for any newcomer, during those first few weeks after their arrival. I am sure that you will be delighted with this, but at the same time i would emphasise the need to take a course of language lessons with my organisation to 'really experience the culture'

Hello Jentana,

How efficient would the lessons be, lets say if one of your students finished a beginners course, how effective would someone be in speaking Thai, and how different are your classes form other thai teaching schools?

Hi Jentana,

My conversation Thai is not too bad, my problem is the tones. Reading and writing is fine, however a little slow when reading. I prefer to learn in a small group as one on one I tend to be a little lazy. Do you currently have any groups around this level?
