Jabers Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 hey can anyone recommend a good school to learn thai. i studied a bit in bangkok years ago but got lazy. visa not required as i have marriage visa. would like a school that focuses on pronunciation mostly. my last school in bangkok just kind of rushes people in out for visas and never really cared about speaking right. if possible a school with younger students. i am early 30s, dont really enjoy being with 50-60+ year olds trying to learn language (sorry, dont mean it rude, just honest). but i know hua hia is full of old people so that may be tricky haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledpull Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Not Hua Hin but a great little school in Pranburi! They do not do the ED visa and classes are small with an excellent teacher/trainer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seligne2 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) I have never seen a Thai language school in HH and I have kept my eyes peeled for one. (But I have not done a full-scale search). Edited January 31, 2018 by Seligne2 Add words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seligne2 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Here's a suggestion: are you familiar with Learn Thai with Mod? You should be. http://learnthaiwithmod.com/ Besides their Youtube videos, they give private lessons via Skype. I have no clue if that works. Worth a look-see.

larsstig Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Hi Jabers, I am one of those old guys that will try to learn thai :-) I will probably attend private lessons in Hua Hin for 2 months. See : https://www.learnthaistyle.com/ Let us meet in a few months, and have a chat in thai ! Edited February 10, 2018 by larsstig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have classes that students are expected to attend, in these classes they have teachers that teach you Thai If students don't wish to attend they pay extra however the students that do attend are taught what they pay to be taught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And were they the Schools in Hua Hin? No so why make assumptions about all of them? If you enrol you will be taught Thai in the classes, i'm not sure why you would think anything different? If you were not taught Thai in the previous schools you attended I would suggest you report them to the MOE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgy Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 my experience brings me to that conclusion from attending such schools full of ed visas. thats all.Too much Pattaya experience?I learned Thai in one of the schools.It's is more a matter if you want to learn, which many don't.
