When you get 60 Min down, then you'll need to get the sounds into your head too. I do have mentions on the subject dotted around WLT, but I should have a dedicated post up soon. Good luck Martyn.

I will come back for the rest at a later date as I need to figure out how to switch my Canon printer from colour to black and white. I'm terrible when it comes to reading manuals. Cheers.

My Saturday morning has been back-to-back since I woke up. Simple lessons to print to start learning to read and write Thai... You'll need to start with the alphabet. As you are having a difficult time, perhaps try <a href="http://1steasythaialphabet.com/">60 Minutes to Learn the Thai Alphabet</a>. There you'll use association to learn the sounds with high, medium and low class, as well as which ones change at the beginning and ending of a word. I struggled with the Thai alphabet until I found 60Min. What I did was print out the book, cut out each alphabet, then fold each to quiz myself (alphabet graphics on one side, info on the other). I still have the tattered remnants in a baggie somewhere.
