Thai

The Thai language belongs to the Sino-Tibetan group of languages which are the languages that are spoken by people in the North and South Eastern parts of Asia. Thai is basically a monosyllabic language where a few words are strung together to form a sentence.

Thai has its own writing system consisting of 44 consonants, 32 vowels symbols and 5 tones. Thai grammar is simple – there is no conjugate of verb and no article is needed in a sentence. There are also no plurals or gender.

However, one needs to be able to pronounce the tonal word correctly. If a tone is missed, the meaning of the word may change.

At International Language Academy, the teacher will teach and help correct pronounciation during the class. We offer three levels of proficiency :

– Basic
– Intermediate
– Advanced

We also provide Thai writing courses and preparation for the Thai Government’s Language Competency Test.

Christine makes the class interesting & that is now we can gasp the language faster. 5 stars teacher.
L. Fenni

Kru was interactive and always friendly and helpful to answer our doubts and let us understand the language better in practical ways of reality. This enables us to know not only the words but also know how to conduct our own sentences.

Claire C.

I enjoy the course very much, the teacher is very good in interacting with the student. Thank you very much, keep it up!

Need to foresee and limit the number of coupons bought. It was a overwhelming response and classes had to change from 2 hrs to 2.5 hrs.
Kenneth T.

The service and delivery by the staff is excellent and fun. I look forward to every lesson.

2 hrs per lesson become 2.5 hrs per lesson is very taxing on us since most of us came from work.

Classroom too small for big class/cohort.
Kristine K.

First lesson was too cramped.

Good simplification of how to mix and match, on what the meaning behind and how words are formed.
Anon.

Perhaps can include peer learning, students try to converse with each other given a specific scenario.
Isabel

‘Wider’ classroom with more seats in front would be good. Course material could be re-arranged in teaching sequence. More publicity online(pretty hard to find this course). All in all, excellent teacher and course.

Ling L.

Teacher is very good, gives good examples we can relate to. Perhaps could use a classroom that is not so ‘Long’ as it is hard to see from the back rows. Timothy C.I am unable to go for next level on Thur, I am afraid that what I have learnt will be forgotten. So have an intermediate class that does not fall on wed/thu soon. Kru Christine’s lessons are very interesting & useful.

Ivan H.

The teacher is very engaging and approachable. Made the class really enjoyable to attend.
Loy LW.

The heart and soul of the class was, without a doubt, Kru Christine. Throughout the course, she was very lively and animated. She made it a point to try to interact and converse with us in Thai even though most of us were still quite shy and uncomfortable with the language. She also relate, as close as possible, on how to use the Thai vocabulary on normal daily conversations. The Thai language beginner class is highly recommended to those what wanted to learn a second/ third language or simply those who just want to expose themselves to Thai culture.
Gerald C.

I have signed up for this language class and attended a few sessions. I like to congratulate you for having such a good Thai language teacher with you.
