Puchaiyank Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 There are non-Thai people who are very good at teaching Thai language on-line...learn from a farang...as they say...suspect you will get more bang for the buck... Google can likely help you connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlyai Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 It's great plan to start to learn the language when you first come to Thailand as you get too busy after a few years. Bangkok is a fantastic city to base, learn at a language school, roam around the city by bus, Tuktuk or klong longtail boat. Also weekend in Pattaya or HuaHin. The only way to successfully learn the language is a dedicated language school. I learnt at AUA. Now that was a long time ago but I still have friends who come over yearly from another country to do a 2 or 3 months catch up. AUA has a 'natural approach' and structured 'formal approach' to learning and you progress thru different courses. So get in touch with kn Wipa (hear she's still there). Then base yourself in a fun area not to far away from AUA. Enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonray Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Find a place you want to live and then find a school or tutor. There are thousands of Thai language teachers/schools in Thailand, better to find a suitable location and then look for school. In the large cities, many reputable school programs, in smaller rural areas you'll likely do better with a private tutor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwpage3 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Be advised in many rural areas of Thailand, the Thai language is not the same as in the cities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most understand what you speak, even you don't understand nothing what they say! Like here some speak Isaan or Loei accent! So different than thai!

At AUA advanced students could do an Isaan course as well. Not sure about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
