Thank you.

1. Youtube channel ThaiPod101. ( I have no connection)

 

2. AUA online texts. There are many others, this is the university course I studied long before the internet was a thing.

 

3. School books online. Search for grade 1 and 2 reading.

 

4. Good books, the actual book with paper pages, are still very good for language learning. I can't really say why, maybe just the way my brain works. If in the US, try to find this book on Amazon. I bought the last edition in 1984. No longer in print but probably the best text you'll ever find.

note: Learn to read Thai first before trying to learn to speak it. Thank me later.

Thanks for the info - I started a thread a few months ago looking for live teachers in Chiang Mai to teach me Thai language, but didn't find anyone yet - will look into your suggestions.

 

But this thread is the opposite - I want to help a Thai friend learn to read and write English, and am looking for an online course to use.

JimmyJ, tell them to download the Duolingo App for free to supplement his / her learning. Your friend might even try to use it exclusively as it can be quite fun / addictive to 'play'. It's probably as complete a resource as you can get to practicing all four communicative skills on a phone.

I am studying online at the English school EnglishPapa. Very convenient, no moving, training takes place in a comfortable environment. Saves time, classes are interesting, I can already see the result. https://englishpapa.com/

Duolingo is really useful when you’re first starting a language because of how accessible and gamified it is.

Also I'd add:
Memrise
Breaking News English
TED Talks
YouTube

Learn thai the rapid method. I have learnt to read in 2 months mostly self-taught, now i'm having private tuition with erin on zoom to build a vocabulary this is extremely difficult tho and will be a long process and has cost a fair amount of money. I'm also using a tutor on preply and I am very slowly reading danbrowns inferno translated into thai with him. They also hold group classes in chiang mai.
