slafriphos Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 On 3rd road directly opposite the Buffalo bar,a thai lady has been teaching English for a number of years.............Prince of Wales Language School as I seem to recall She teaches outside in the heat with the noise and pollution to accompany your learning. No thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGImInPattaya Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 AUA is good but expensive...and many of the teachers are Scots...so they're not really learning how to speak English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiBob Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 AUA Expensive? 30 hours of instruction = 3600 baht, I would call that inexpensive. Beware of schools that use Thai or Philippinos, a Scot would be a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onemorechang Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 If your Wife, G/f, B/f, Son or Daughter come home speaking Jockaneaze, that would just be the pits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've know many Scottish people and they're great but sometimes they can be so hard to understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiBob Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 "I'd debate that with you.".... AUA works out at 120 baht per hour. Other schools are in the 200-300 baht range (Walen for example). AUA is inexpensive but you may find one cheaper but you get what you pay for. Also, the gf works at Central Festival so that would be very convenient.

No thank you. Pardon me for making the suggestion,she,s been there for many years and has a good client base but obviously not good enough for you and yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwdub Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks for the 2 suggestions. 1. AUA if as posted 30 hrs. of instruction @3600 baht works as again she is already in CF. 2. Will also check out the 3rd road lady as the GF has a motorbike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumForce Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 AUA is good but expensive...and many of the teachers are Scots...so they're not really learning how to speak English Sorry to disappoint you but there are no Scots teaching in AUA. There are three English guys, an Irish guy and a Kiwi. All 5 are very well-spoken and clear and do not possess any sort of strong accents from those countries. My missus thoroughly enjoys studying there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange they have not Americans...most people want to learn "American" English these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSVANPELT Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Just past Third as you travel to Sukhumvit road on Pattaya Tai, there is a Soi just after Magna Carta law offices , about half way down the Soi is an english school for Thais, My gf got 60 hours for 1800 baht and that included workbooks and daily home work . There are group classes and one on one. The director is a Thai who lived in the USA for 20 years and the staff are very fluent and clear sounding. I will see if I can find the name from her diploma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
