"I really like your product [Speak Easy Thai]. I have been using it and have found it an excellent way to improve my Thai and a fun way, and you can quote me.
The thing I like about this program are the scenarios such as inside the airport and outside the airport, inside a hospital or school, renting a car, inside and outside a train station, etc. You just click on people and objects and hear the names in Thai. ... set aside at least 20 minutes each day and work with it faithfully; I guarantee you will improve your Thai."

"I went to your office at Sukhumvit Soi 4, and purchased a copy of the CD and the Thailand Fever book. I read the Thailand Fever book in a day and have to say I learnt so much from it. Thank you.
I am using the CD now as I have done the Language School thing and found it frustrating for all the reasons you state. The CD is great and certainly works for my learning style. I have some friends arriving soon and will get them to purchase the CD too, as it is so good."

Learning
The Thai Language
By T.

Thai can be a difficult language to learn mainly because it is a tonal language. One word can have several different meanings depending on the tone used when speaking. Take, for instance, the word mai...depending on the tone when said it can mean: Not, new, burn, silk, and wood. In all there are five tones used in the Thai language and they are: Low tone, mid tone, high tone, rising tone, and falling tone.
If you are going to Thailand on your first trip, having a basic knowledge of the language and using some Thai words and or sentences will give a smile to the locals and can save you some baht when shopping at the markets. You'll also find it easy to pick up on words when around the native speakers and you'll hear the correct pronunciation. Don't be afraid to speak the Thai that you learn because you may say something the wrong way and inadvertently offend someone, the Thai people know their language is hard to learn for foreigners and can usually figure out what you were trying to say.
I have added some useful Thai phrases before in articles and will do so again but when doing so I do it phonetically in english which is usually close to the correct sound but it's not easy to convey the proper tone.
A few resources I have come across and have found to be really useful while learning the Thai language rely on sound and or images and sound to reinforce the proper sounds and tones of the words spoken:
The Rosetta Stone software uses images and interactivity to teach you in a natural way. By using pictures and words you learn the association much faster than just repeating what you hear. This reinforces the learning and really helps you to remember words much easier. I bought a copy of Rosetta Stone Thai while I was in Thailand last May and while I like it a lot and it has increased my vocabulary it never really works to teach me what I want to know specifically but teaches me the words and phrases it wants me to know. Very helpful and a great tool for the beginner.
Pimsleur Thai is another program using recorded Thai by native speakers to reinforce learning by repetition but they do it a little better than most by giving you complete sentences to memorize but then they use the sentence in conversations switching up the male and female attributes and structure which helps you to retain what you've heard and been repeating along with the recording. Pimsleur lessons can be bought online through various outlets. The first 10 lessons can be found for free on the web by searching Pimsleur Thai.
Learning Thai.com is one of the best resources out there and best of all it's free. They cover the gambit of Thai language from learning to speak Thai to learning how to read and write Thai. Recordings of words and phrases by native speakers to help you with pronunciation and tone as well as an English/Thai -Thai/English online dictionary. Absolutely the best online resource for the Thai language.
Whether you are going to Thailand for a two week vacation or have more in mind, learning some of the language before you go can be fun and a rewarding experience when you use what you've learned while enjoying your trip in Thailand.
Mai mai mai,mai.

And Here Are 10 Great Tips To Help You Learn Thai.
Top 10 Tips to Study Thai Language
By Tomasz
Kos
There are plenty of ways and methods to learn new languages. Everybody studying a foreign language develops over time their own approaches that work best for them. In this article I will present my personal methods that help me to master such a beautiful language as Thai.
1. Try to surround yourself with the language. Definitely the best solution is to go to Thailand and live there for some time.There you will be able to hear, read, speak and thus train this language 24/7. If it's impossible get Thai TV, subscribe to Thai papers and magazines and watch Thai movies. This will speed the process of learning Thai considerably.
2. Get Thai friends. After all you want to communicate with Thai people. You can do it either personally or over the Internet. There are many social portals you can strike up new wonderful friendships while speaking and writing in Thai.
3. Try to be like a Thai person, learn what they like, what their traditions are. This will help you to understand a fascinating Thai culture and when something fascinates you - learning it and about it is a pure pleasure. Studying the Thai language is a key to understanding Thailand.
4. Study every day and repeat often what you have learned. We learn by repetition so the more you repeat the better your command of Thai will be. Even half an hour of studying and repeating each day is much better than studying 5 hours once a week.
5. Put emphasis on writing and reading. Spoken Thai is much easier so you should find time every day to practice these two skills.
6. If you don't understand something - ask. Find Thai language discussion forums on the Internet and ask your questions there. There will be many people there that will readily help you.
7. Talk your friends into studying Thai with you or find somebody who learns it too. Studying with other people is very motivating, effective, and simply brings much more fun.
8. Set up reasonable goals for yourself. Raising the bar to high can discourage you since you will tend to think you are making no or little progress.
9. Make studying this language fun. When you practice reading - choose something interesting, when watching a film let it be something fun, etc. You will notice then that Thai is close to you since you can express and understand things that are of interest to you.
10. Last but not least. Stay optimistic as Thai people are. Even one word learned a day is bringing you closer to your aim - communication in Thai.
