[Aplin]

Hi guys,

Off to Thailand as of April and wanted to get a headstart on the language, was wondering if you could recomend either a book, dvd or software package which would help me

This is not a very well known software but it has become one of my favorites. It lets you record your own voice and compare it to a native speaker, use flash cards and drill yourself Thai - English English - Thai as well as making your own vocab lists. It's mostly good for learning words not grammar and other concepts.

It has a silly name but it's good

Before you know it.
