Hi Joe, I personally haven’t been to STL but I’m curious… if the teachers are good then how can the materials be confusing? Do you mean that the teachers are making the best of bad materials?

Traci, it really bugs me when a school is tight with their materials. What they don’t realise is that course books make great marketing tools so having them floating around is a positive, not a negative. Well. Unless their books are cacca. There is that.

Pss… I deleted double posts. No worries :-) And as you are avidly looking I’ll get you that review.

Catherine – Nope, I didn’t get any books! They said they only sell their books to enrolled students, and at that, they’ll only sell the level that you’re actually studying. No big deal though, as Baan Aksorn’s books were actually better (professional-looking, with impeccable English), plus they don’t do that petty nonsense of restricting who they sell to.

Also, how interesting that Tod has just reviewed AAA — so far he’s been on the money with his reviews (yes, Tod, your posts are useful!), so I’ll be curious to see what he came up with. . . .

Traci, I’m also partial to patterns. Were you able to come away with any of their books?

Btw: AAA Thai Language School is Tod’s next school review. But as a review went just recently, it’ll be a week before it appears. If you are in need I can send you what he wrote.
