Conversational Thai Course For English People

[pmf113b]

I am staying in Chiang Mai for 4 months and would like to know if there are any ex pats that can recommend a conversational Thai course geared for English students.

I am only really interested in learning conversational, everyday Thai language and not so intensive as everyday as I do other things and don't want to be tied every day to a study.

All help would be appreciated.

Thanks !!

For what you want I recommend Cornerstone Language School http://www.learnthais.com They do a 3 mornings a week group course 150 THB per hour, mostly conversational.The only drawback is that after reaching a point of converation ( 2-3 months) they don't go further unless you learn reading and writing.

YMCA have conversational courses! A 30 hour long cours'll costs you 1600 baht, the lessons are usually between 10 and 12 Mon, Wedn and Fri... Once you've finished level 1 you can take level 2 and keep on going like that all the way up to level 8.

I've taken the Thai conversational courses at the "Y" and I'm very satisfied with what I got!! I can highly recommend it!!

Good luck!!!

Does it have to be specifically geared to English people?

YMCA is definitely more value for money as compared to other schools

Hi,

Thanks for the info.

Does a new course start on Monday? If so for how long is it going to last? And what days and times?

Thanks Paula

Usual courses are

Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10-12, for 5 weeks, starting this Monday, you can sit in on the first lesson, and then pay in the break (after 1 hour) if you like.

If the classes are over subscribed, they often add the same course on another day/time

On the same topic. i'm looking for a school that gives out an education visa.....i actually want to take the courses though, so i'm looking for one that has quality teaching. I took courses at AUA before and liked it alot, but they don't supply an education visa.

Myself and quite a few of my classmates have ED visas through AUA.

If you go to Thailand on an education visa, is your family allowed to come with you?
