I have been using Glossika for quite a while. I like the structure. Just useful sentences combined with Thai script/phonetic and English. You can repeat and save sentences as you like.

 

But in my humble opinion, the speakers sound different to e.g. Google translate, Paiboon dictionary and also Thaipod101 which I just listened a little to. So I wish to get used to other ways of pronouncing Thai. Preferably like Paiboon/Google translate which pronounce similarly, at least to me as a beginner/lower intermediate learner.

 

So please. Which Thai course should I choose to get immersed in spoken Thai with English/phonetic/Thai script transcriptions? I read Thai script but slowly so I prefer to also have phonetic writing. But English and Thai script is probably enough.

 

I prefer to emphasize listening comprehension.

 

Thank you.

What I found in thaipod101 has so far been too much English chat around the Thai and too much arrangement of lessons. I just want the sentences. The structure I will look up myself.

One well known course teaches the word for "photo" like this. But I keep looking.

 

 

I have learned mostly by speaking with people and pronunciations amongst different people can vary a little too. 

 

It is a challenge. Just try and be open to it and hopefully after much repetition, your ear will lead the way.
