Thai Language For English Speakers Beginner & Novice+ Unit 1

About This Class
The class project is simple, but important.
Description
This Thai language class is for anyone whose primary language is English but have a desire to speak Thai.
Dan, the primary instructor in this class, is an English speaking native and went through this very process of learning the tonal Asiatic language of Thai.
Dam brings tremendous insight to this course per his real life experience of struggling with the language, moving to Thailand, becoming fluent, and devising a class for other English speaking people who want to learn Thai.
The Thai instructors bring their vision and influence to the project as well. You get the best of both worlds.
This class is an excellent choice for
Beginners
Novice+
Intermediates
Those who have lost direction
Who is teaching this class?
An English speaking American, who taught himself to speak Thai while living in Thailand.
3 Thai instructors round out the teaching staff and offer native accent and clarification.
3 Thai Language University Professors in the background shaping the lessons.
What is being taught?
The basics of Thai (obvious), to wit: Tones, Phonetics, Vocabulary, Grammar, Sentence Structure etc.
A method to start thinking in Thai, facilitating easier speaking of Thai.
A rock solid study method that can be adapted to other languages as desired.
How to self direct ones own Thai language learning experience.
This system that Dan (the English speaking American) developed and uses, called "Crack the Code", has been refined into an easily understood and followed procedure.
The average person, using this system, who applies themselves and follows directions, will most likely see advances in their practical language use and gain more effective study habits.
Project Guide
The class project is simple, but important.
Take a photo of your first two pages of your study journal that you have filled in, writing in Thai script, Romanization and English. Post it to the class projects area so that we can see your style of cataloging what you are learning.
If you wish, you can also highlight the first Thai word that you realize you have thought of in Thai, instead of thinking of it in English, and then translating it in your head.
There is a lesson in the course that shows video of the concept I am sharing here, for the class project. Feel free to watch the video if you have any questions.
