I knew some basic phrases through the Pimsleur CDs.

 

They start each lesson by conversing in Thai on the material from the prior lesson. After a while they will converse only in Thai, even the small talk before and after the lessons!

 

Try to get Sapan to teach you. She didn't teach me, but she is cuter than the older ladies who taught me!

 

Sapan is actually older than you might think...here is a pic. She has a very lively personality as well.

cuteness is not a reason to choose one teacher over  another.   teaching ability is

to push forward; to shove; to thrust

Correction   ซ้าย   =  left

Is there a site that explains certain common words usually used in public settings like "restroom male or female" in Thai? It's good to be familiarized with them before partaking anywhere. Thank you.

Thanks for the link , i have test my self in life when in Thailand that google translator 70% of times is no good

 

Even if you translate to thai and then to english , sometimes get desperate with this and finding where to place a word inside a phrase

 

Sometimes you write without sense and translation is better LOL

Yes agree. google translate is incorrect often according to my thai friends.

could also mean   on the left side

Rosetta stone thai is helpful but seems they stopped developing Thai.   Old versions only

^{Good one.}
