Women Learning Thai… and some men too ;-)

More free Thai learning resources… There are several ways of getting around Learning Thai the Easy Way. One is via their sidebar nav. And there is an additional way, their Free Thai Resources page. I don’t believe it gets you into everything on their site, but does make it easy to skim for free subject [...]

Thai language learning forums… This week I started thinking about how much I depend on Thai language forums. So much so, that I’ve added the top three plus another to my sidebar. After, I started thinking that maybe you depend on Thai language forums too. And that got me to thinking that there is a [...]

The new YouTube kid in town: Learn Thai with Bon… Noticing her new learning Thai videos on YouTube, I contacted Bon Ratta back in February, for a mid-March post. But… the Red Shirts happened – something is always happening in Thailand, yes? – so I’m coming in late. Again. Apologies Bon! In Learn Thai the [...]

Advanced Thai listening practice… Last week I posted Gaccha’s Thai Reading and Listening materials. And as mentioned, Gaccha’s aim is to encourage others to create more Thai learnings materials. To show what else is possible, here’s Gaccha’s Pulp Fiction YouTube video (below). Creating videos such as these can be extremely time-consuming, so thanks Gaccha! A [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
