nani Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Greetings! Me and my boyfriend are finally starting our thai language lessons (wheee!). Our teacher said that she is going to use a book called "Thai for beginners" by Benjawan Poomsan Becker. Would anyone happen to have a used book for sale? (we need 2 books) Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keo Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I've got one I'd be willing to sell. You can easily (and cheaply) get the book you buy copied at a copy shop. Send me a pm if you are still looking for a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 1) I would suggest getting it new (with the CD's). It is a pretty decent book and the author deserves the royalties. 2) I have seen copies show up at Gecko on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystwoodcol Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think you should finish your English lessons first, before you tackle Thai That should be "My boyfriend & I " Get new copies of the book as they come with CD and are fantastic. Available in all big book shops in Chiang Mai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caf Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think you should finish your English lessons first, before you tackle Thai That should be "My boyfriend & I " Get new copies of the book as they come with "a" (?)CD and are fantastic. Available in all big book shops in Chiang Mai Oh dear. A grammar nazi emerges only to show the pot calling the kettle black I think you should finish your English lessons first, before you tackle Thai You can't have first, before I think you should finish your English lessons before you tackle Thai Getting back to the point of the original post, all the Becker Thai language books are worth buying. caf Your second and final sentences are not complete sentences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd766 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) I think you should finish your English lessons first, before you tackle Thai That should be "My boyfriend & I " Get new copies of the book as they come with CD and are fantastic. Available in all big book shops in Chiang Mai But which English language lessons? English, American, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, Hong Kong, Singaporean, Indian English? Perhaps you should clarify first before commenting. Can you speak, read and write fluent Thai? Kudos to the lady for trying to use the English skills she has already. Grammar superstars are not necessarily required on Thai Visa. Spellcheck is in American but I am English and it makes many grammar mistakes in my English language.

He maintains that studies have shown the only use teaching grammar is good for is to make the teacher some money. Just look around the world and you will notice many differences in many languages. Even in English each country can have little differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMX Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 nani, I want to keep mine too! Looks as if the best thing to do is contact keo and then follow his advice. There is a negative comment on this thread that is from someone new to the forum - just two weeks. Please forget and make use of who are here to help each other - and help us when you can.
