Alliance Francais is the best for french learning. I also used to learn as I was a kid. You are looking the cheaper one. I dont know if Ramkhamhaeng or Chula University has any course for foreigner.

I think LENIAK is Thai, that's why he wants a thai teacher.

I think Alliance francaise is overpriced, so maybe universities should be a better choice?!

Or maybe I can help?!

Why yes, with the exception of Quebec province and some carribean and pacific isles, who would want to visit them. The african nations will be speaking arabic soon enough and Haitis a real crummy place to vacation. I'm afraid the french left most places they controlled much the worse for wear.

Serious question.

Is French useful in Thailand?

My daughter is 15 and obviously is fluent in both English and Thai. In most British schools French is compulsory up to year 9, but she is now in year 10 and opted to continue with French and take it as one of her GCSE subjects. Assuming she does well, and the signs are that she will, is it worth her while going on to 'A' level and maybe further?

My thinking is that there are lots of Thais who can speak Thai and English, but how many can speak French as well; and would it be advantageous to her when we return to Thailand and she is looking for a career?

To be honest , i do not think French is necessary *!

I am French myself, but I seldom use it !

Perhaps it look good sometime to be able to converse in french !

*Nearly all diplomats persons speak French !

It is not adverse on anything to speak French ! but I will dedicate more my time toward Chinese language if I have to choose one .

It is fairly hard to learn , nearly all verb will change with the pronoun ! and you have the masculine and feminine for adjective and name .

Good luck with it.

France played a major role in the past in shaping Thai history. There is much documentation on Thailand in French. Moreover, it is spoken by people in diplomatic circles, as mentioned earlier, and is also spoken in many African countries as well as France and the Benelux countries and random islands. There is a big demand in the workforce for bilingual speakers of English and another European language in England and other EU countries. It's easy to do well in IGCSE French - really easy - I got a B with hardly any work - it's A Level French and IB French where the work really begins as I discovered... as there is a massive jump in the standard required.

If your daughter wants a career in Thailand, make sure her Thai writing is up to scratch. There's too many bilingual Thai and English speakers out there who can't write Thai passably. Obviously your daughter should play her strengths as well as looking to the future when choosing her A Levels.

Thanks for the reply. It's given us a lot to think about, and you're right about her Thai writing. She can read ok (thanks to the internet!) but her writing leaves a lot to be desired.
