Tardis Girl Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 One of my older daughters is going to be living in Thailand as a missionary for 1.5 years and I find myself wondering about learning Thai. She will be learning Thai -- a kickstart of a few weeks of direct instruction and then living there immersed in the people and culture. But we are looking forward to learning some as well -- obviously not like she will. lol Can anyone recommend resources for learning Thai? Speaking, listening, writing, culture, whatever. I know it will be a challenge! I was hoping to find something like DuoLingo (they don't offer Thai), but am open to anything at all, at this point. Thanks!

Tracy Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I don't even see Thai listed at LiveMocha, which seems to have the greatest variety of language offerings I have seen. Sorry! What a great opportunity for your daughter. I wish her all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelgirlut Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 When we were considering moving to Thailand to teach English, we got Thai for Beginners. There is a book and a CD and it gets really good reviews. We didn't end up going, so I'm not sure how well it works long term, but the part I used seemed excellent. My kids at the time were really young and would give people directions in Thai. It was cute. Publisher's Web Site Book CD There's also an intermediate and advanced level, but we never got that far. There is also Thai on Mango Languages, which many library systems offer for free. I dabbled a bit with that one also. Have fun learning!!

Tardis Girl Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks for the recomendations! We used to have Mango with our previous library, but I'm not sure if our new one has it -- I had forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
