Anyone been to any of the language school courses or had 1on1 tuition? Wondering if personal tuition is any better than taking a course?


Yeah I had one on one lessons for about 6 months or so, twice a week of 1hr 30mins a time.

Analysis at the end of it was, you have to work on the other 5 days doing homework or just re-doing the previous lesson, you have to have at least an hour a day, everyday, where you only speak and think Thai, learn to read and write is so much better for your pronounciation than phonetic books. Take a small thai/english dictionary out with you and force yourself to ask questions etc, as this really sticks in your head.

I failed most of the above but will have another go soon, as Alec is starting to talk quite a bit now and I want to be able to understand him in either language.
