I always try and pick up some new Thai words and phrases whenever I visit Thailand, but I am coming to the conclusion that I just don't pronounce the words correctly. When I hear words, in my head, I try to convert them to English letters in order to remember, but this really doesn't work very well.

Is there any good, online learning that starts off with reading and pronouncing the alphabet? Ideally, with a visual of a Thai person talking in order to observe mouth expressions to get the correct sounds.

I'm sure others may find this useful too.
