@kokesaat That sounds like a (nearly) perfect solution to me. Unfortunately, I'm living in a very remote location (surrounded by ricefields only - Phrai Bueng area, south of Sisaket). In the nearby villages I know many people, but no one who can speak any (or enough) English (even the teachers of the local schools really don't). That's why I started the thread, in the hope someone maybe know a potential Thai teacher in Sisaket (Khu Khan, Phrai Bueng, Payu would be ok too)...

Reading, writing. In the first place. I'm fully aware of those differences ;-) A private teacher seems the best solution to me. A school could be glued to a somewhat fixed curriculum.

@youreavinalaff I agree. When we built our houses here (some smaller adobe houses, we built on our own - from brick production to welding the roofs) I learnt a lot from the Thai helpers, who came from surrounding villages. Direct social interaction is the best, no question. That's one way. But I know myself - to really get into the language, for the next step I need a teacher.

@nikmar Thx for the hint. I know the site, good videos. Anyways, I seek for in person teaching.

Hi forum, is there any language school teaching Thai for foreigners in Sisaket? If not, any recommendations of private teachers? Living now for nearly 2 years in Thailand, I find learning from books and videos only doesn't make it for me. Thx in advance and regards, Chris
