Women Learning Thai… and some men too ;-)

Learn Thai with the Red Shirts…
When it comes to learning the Thai language, there is a real need for decent materials. Gaccha, an expat living in Bangkok, aims to inspire others to contribute their Thai skills towards creating the needed materials.
I ‘met’ Gaccha online last year when he translated and compiled a Pulp Fiction video [...]

Learning the Thai language with Benjawan…
It is an undisputed fact that Benjawan Poomsan Becker of Paiboon Publishing is the top producer of Thai language products.
With that jewel in mind… while I was working on the Benjawan Poomsan Becker Interview, I came up with a way to show just how proliferate she is.
Not only would [...]

Free Download: Thai Reader Project…
If your Thai learning adventure has come to a halt due to the lack of intermediate to advanced materials, the University of Wisconsin’s Thai Reader Project could be a fine fit:
The authors have attempted to create effective lessons in the reading of Thai that will help learners progress from the [...]

Overview of my 30 day Thai language trial…
Well, that’s that. Finish. My 30 day Thai language trial is over.
And I now have a new habit. Studying Thai. Daily. Yeah! But please note: I will no longer upload the Don’t Break the Chain graphics from my iPhone to WLT’s sidebar.
(It was a tedious chore, and one [...]

Week four of my 30 day Thai language trial…
Here I am again. Reporting in. And just like last week, I’m here say that nothing has changed. I now have a new study habit. And the weird thing about it is this: it’s like I’ve had it forever.
As before, I listened, read, and repeated [...]

Week three of my 30 day Thai language trial…
I am settled into a study schedule, so that’s it. It took three weeks for me to gain a new language learning habit.
Nothing odd happened this week so I won’t post the results. I basically listened, read, and then repeated the Thai conversations. There were a few [...]

Week two of my 30 day Thai language trial…
The more I note the lack of sleep in the weekly reviews of my trial, the more I am getting pissed off.
Insomnia has been a part of my life since my toddler days and I usually work around it. I ignore it if I can. Sometimes [...]

Week one of my 30 day Thai language trial…
Ok, here I am (waving at you all). It’s official. I made it through week one of my New Year’s resolution. Yeah! I’m chuffed.
emk: The first 30 days were hard: I wanted to skip a day, here and there. But I knew that if I skipped a [...]

2010 is here…so soon…
As I mentioned last year in 30 Days to Successful Thai Language Habits, 2010 is my push year for ramping up my Thai. Absolutely.
Last year was ok for me. But as it was not brilliant, I needed to do something different this year. Sure, I had a New Year’s resolution post in [...]

Have I got a Thai typing tutor game for you…
While I was adding thai-language.com’s logo to the top of WLT (glance up and over to your right) Glenn was happily showing me his new toy developed with Josh Sager: TLC’s Thai Typing Tutor Game.
Waiting for the countdown to 2010, I contacted Josh to get instructions.
