Learn to Read and Write Thai at ITS4Thai.com
Posted by Stuart at 01:04 PM on July 22, 2008Over this past weekend, we released a few new Thai Language Courses at ITS4Thai. I am especially excited about the new "Thai Script 1 Course". I think that the best way to learn Thai is by learning to read and write as soon as possible, so this course teaches many of the common letters and tone rules that show how a Thai word should be pronounced. The sooner students leave confusing Thai-English transliterations behind, the better!
(The companion Thai Script 2 course which covers the remaining letters and tone rules will be released very soon.)
We have taken a very different approach to teaching people how to read and write Thai with these courses. We do not use complicated linguistic terminology to teach, nor do we use the same confusing methods that are used to teach the Thai language to Thai children. Instead, we map the Thai Script to what an English speaker is already familiar with, and we reinforce the learning through exercises, making it a much easier and much more rewarding process.
So, if you have ever wanted to learn how to read and write the Thai language, now is a great time to learn how. Our new course will show you that it is not as hard as you might think. Come visit us at ITS4Thai today!
I had the opportunity to view and play with this new lesson during its development. Based on that, as well as my own experience learning to read, write and speak Thai over the past two and a half years, I can give a ringing endorsement to the effectiveness and ease of the ITS4Thai system - especially this new Thai Script module!
Even if you are just learning Thai to prepare for a business trip, a vacation, or another short stay in the Land of Smiles, learning some Thai is worthwhile. If you're planning on living here for a longer time, even as little as a few months, it is worth the time to learn to read and write. ITS4Thai's system is clear and fun!
