Women Learning Thai… and some men too ;-)

2Bangkok.com Moves to WordPress… After long last, 2Bangkok.com is making the transition from a bog-standard website platform, to WordPress. I’m a huge supporter of WP due to the ease of the CMS, so congrats Ron! Moving twelve years of posts over has got to be a tedious chore but it’s worth it. And readers can [...]

Word Brain & ClickThai Vocabulary Trainer… I just can’t get enough of free stuff. There’s a lot out there but not all free stuff is good stuff (if you know what I mean). I also have an addiction for the ‘how to learn languages’ type of stuff. Sure, sure, as far as advice goes, there [...]

Today is a good day to learn Thai… Do you know what day it is? It’s 11.1.11. I’m not sure if it’s auspicious, but it sounds like a day to start something special. Like learning Thai. Not everyone will admit to making New Years Resolutions, but a lot of us secretly do. And as it’s [...]

The Talking Thai-English-Thai Dictionary iPhone App… On forums, blogs, and here in the comments, those with a copy of the newly released Talking Thai–English–Thai Dictionary iPhone App are remarking that it’s the best iPhone app dictionary on the market. And it is. And now with this draw, six more Thai learners will get the experience. [...]

iPhone App: Talking Thai-English-Thai Dictionary… Last year I reviewed the Three-Way Talking Thai Software Dictionary by Chris Pirazzi and Benjawan Poomsan Becker. I ended the post with: Ah, before I go… coming next from Chris and Benjawan is an iPhone version of the Three-Way Talking Thai Dictionary. And you can better bet that I’ll be [...]

Who’s talking about learning Thai… Well, here we are in 2011. Finally. Some of you might not know this, but I’ve been either out of Bangkok or Thailand for the best part of November/December, with chunks taken out of September/October too. So now you know why I haven’t spent a whole lot of time commenting. [...]

Learning Thai in 2011… A Facebook friend recently asked about New Years resolutions. Still working through jet-lag, I shot back, “I plan on writing a post about New Years resolutions and learning Thai, and then promptly forgetting about both until New Years next year”. I was kidding. Obviously. During the weeks before New Years I [...]

Polyglot, a Google Chrome Extension… One of the keys to learning a language is exposure. It stands to reason that the more opportunities you create for exposure to the language you are learning the more effective, and ultimately more rewarding, the learning process will be for you. In Thailand there are loads of ways to [...]

Learn Thai With Mod… Adjima (Mod) is just as cute as can be. Agreed? So when I came across her YouTube channel, LearnThaiwithMod, I just had to share it with my buddy Scott, the connoisseur of all things Thai. After poking around, we were both of the opinion that Adjima’s presentation is fun and her [...]

The Tower of Confusion and Smart.fm… The Tower of Confusion discusses language learning. If you have the time, cruise through Edwin’s Learning Tips or see what he has to say about Stuart Jay Raj. In Edwin’s post, The Most Effective Way to Learn Hiragana, I was reminded once again about Smart.fm. One nice thing about [...]

Over 300 free Thai Lessons online… A largely unknown (and huge) Thai learning resource can be found at thai-language.weebly.com. Being an unknown might be due to the totally bizarre and off-topic landing page. I’ve been rushing around lately. Quite a bit. So apologies as I haven’t had time to check out the Thai. I mean, [...]

Who’s talking about learning Thai… Welcome to the third edition in this series, where I share bloggers, twitter peeps, and podcasters all talking about the Thai language. The previous two posts can be found here: Archive for Talking About Learning Thai. Apologies…yeah… again… this post should have gone around the first of the month but [...]

The Absolute Best Way to Learn Foreign Languages… Back in August I wrote about an undertaking Claude Cartaginese took on: The Polyglot Project: In Their Own Words. His idea was to compile a smorgasbord of language learning experiences. Claude put out a request for entries, and during a several month spread we’d get to read [...]

Who’s talking about learning Thai… September saw the first Look Who’s Talking About Learning Thai and this month I’m going to do something slightly different. Instead of starting off with the featured site, I’m going to thank people who generously gave their time: WLT’s wonderful guest writers, and those being interviewed. WLT’s generous contributors… In [...]
