		<description>Learning Thai sounds interesting, especially if one lives on the West Coast of the US (due to the large Thai population there). The writing part is the largest hurdle though.... If one is used to a certain alphabet (English alphabet, for example) then it becomes a tedious task to learn such an alphabet like the Thai one.</description>

		<description>UPDATE: Added two pages from WikiBooks that should interest a number of people here... 

1) Thai/Writing lessons plan
QUOTE: This is a plan for propadeutic (preparatory) lessons teaching the student the Thai script and its pronunciation (including letter combinations). The goal is to introduce letters one by one so as not to overwhelm the student.

2) Thai/Adding vocabulary with word association
QUOTE: Here are some Thai words that sound something like English words, and so can be easy to remember. It helps if you create a vivid image in your mind connecting the meaning of the word with the sound. 

Check in the main &lt;a href=&quot;http://womenlearnthai.com/index.php/resources/learning-thai/&quot;&gt;Learn Thai for FREE&lt;/a&gt; page for the links.</description>

		<description>Hi Sidney,

Thanks. I&#039;m glad to hear that you are finding WLT useful.

Some of the seasite product is quite old (&#039;99) but worse, they used Microsoft FrontPage 6.0 with frames. 

I&#039;m not sure if much can be done but I&#039;ve sent the query to Jay (programmer friend who knows all sorts of obscure bits about browsers and code). 

If you are on a Mac in FF, what you can do is hold down the command key while clicking on the sound links. This will bring up new pages in the background, but at least it will keep you on the main page for the duration. A pain, you&#039;ll have to close all the new pages when you are done. 

If you do come up with a better solution, please let me know. And if Jay comes up with anything, I&#039;ll post here.</description>

		<description>Dear Catherine,

First, thank you for this wonderful service and all the time and effort you have devoted to helping people learn Thai. - I hope you can help.  My problem is that when I click on the speaker icon to hear the audio clips on  the website, Spoken Thai for the Internet (adapted from the book by Mary R. Haas and Henry R. Subhanka), I am taken away from the page with the words and shown a black media screen. I hear the pronunciation, but I am looking at a black screen.  I had this problem with another website, but was able to fix it on the site control panel.  Is it possible to do on the Spoken Thai for the Internet website, or must this problem be solved in another way? - I thank you for any help you can offer.
