Do you like cooking? Do a search for “ตำราอาหาร” (cookbook) and try to follow a recipe written in Thai. Learning to read and write in Thai is that much easier when there’s a tasty Thai dish waiting for you at the end. How about Thai music? Search on youtube.com for the karaoke video of your favorite Thai song, and sing along to your heart’s content. If you’re not sure where to start, try “คาราบาว” (Carabao) and “ปาน” (Parn), two of the most popular Thai artists today. If you’ve spent any time in Phuket, Thailand, there’s a good chance that you’ve heard them before.

After you build a solid base in our Study Thai Online program or in our Easy Going or Intensive Thai courses at our school in Patong, a whole new world will be open to you. There are always ways to keep language learning fun!

Our time-proven course materials have been developed over 20 years and concentrate on giving students useful, practical knowledge of the language. In just a few lessons, you will be able to order your entire meal in Thai! Like eating delicious, rich curries and spicy, sour salads — once you get started, it’s hard to stop!

Just be forewarned…if you ask for spicy food in Thai (ao ped ped), be prepared to eat it!

I cannot believe that I can understand Thai from a native Thai speaker after only a few lessons. I thought it would be impossible at first, but I decided to try it anyway. I’m glad that I did. Definitely looking forward to ordering my som tum in Thai!

For those who decide to move to Thailand, knowing even the slightest bit of Thai can make daily life much easier and a lot more fun. We encourage everybody to give it a try, and the Thai locals are always willing to help you out when things aren’t completely understood.

We wish Kelly the best of luck in her future studies, and we hope to see her in person next year.

I have been to Thailand several times, but this is the first time that I was actually able to talk to the Thai people. I felt less like a tourist and more like a traveler. 100% amazing.
