Speak & understand real street Thai
Instead of learning outdated dictionary Thai you learn real modern “Bangkok Thai” as it is spoken today. “Bangkok Thai” is the standard Thai you would also learn in a language school but we take this a step further and besides formal you also learn informal spoken Thai.
Maybe you know this from your country, people in different areas have different ways of speaking their language. When you learn Thai speaking habits and listen to conversations you will listen to Bangkok Thai and learn how to speak like a native Thai living in Bangkok.
Just speaking Thai isn’t enough
After running the course for a year we had many people who were happy how well they could speak Thai but some had problems understanding native Thai speakers. To help them train their listening skills and have natural conversations with Thais we have added over 150 beginner, intermediate and advanced conversation lessons to the course.Conversation Lessons
Conversation lessons come in two different flavours. Some are like interviews in which you hear a single native Thai speaker speaking and some are dialogue lessons in which two or more people talk to each other.Learn to understand TV Thai
Thai in news reports or documentaries is different from Thai spoken on the street. We want you to be able to get as much language input as possible from different sources. That’s why we have advanced news report lesson cycles in which you can learn this more formal way of speaking Thai.
