I did have a list for Byki, but when I upgraded my computer I lost it. If you buy Byki, and you are a beginner, you will get quite an extensive resource for Thai (just check for the mistakes - there are not many, but they are there). Note: There was an additional snafu I had with the Thai I added to Byk. As no one took me up on my offer, I started creating files from existing Thai courses (no need to worry about copyright if for personal use). And it's not ethical to republish work without permission. With that in mind, I have been planning on coding in the FSI Thai materials to share with Byki users at some point. They are in the public domain and we've added the Thai script here - http://thailanguagewiki.com The group is modernising the sentences, then the idea is to rerecord.

Has helped me a lot in navigating available resources. Decided that Byki is a tool that I will give a go. Had a look at the shared lists at Byki (http://www.byki.com/category/Thai/a) but it was pretty slim pickings & I didn't find anyone from Catherine...:) Do you know of any shared Byki lists or might have some or your own that you would like to share and link to from this article. I think it would be of great interest for many readers. Thanks again for your effort. Hi

And it was waaaaaaaaay back when I was aiming for a transliteration style I could handle (as it worked out, I did not like transliteration at all so moved on to reading Thai). To turn the transliteration option on or off... 1) Within a list, select 'Edit' 2) Go to 'Edit list properties' 3) Select 'Content' 4) Select/deselect 'Include transliteration field' Hi Jack, That person was me… and it is indeed Byki.

I don't have thai2english. Different program. The person on this site in "making Byki mine" mentions liking the transliterated style of thai2english and what he wants on each card and when his Thai improves he can easily turn the option off. It that BYKI or Thai2english? Catherine,
