Speaking Thai is a performance.
It’s not just what you say, but how you say it.
By copying the words, facial expressions and gestures of native Thai speakers, you are teaching yourself to communicate in the most natural way.
Discover there is a confident Thai speaker in you!
Today we are going to talk about the most important 20 sentences in Thai, at least according to me! and because you use these sentences a lot, all the time in daily conversation. It is a great opportunity to practice using them naturally and pronouncing them correctly. And that’s what we’re going to do today.
Your challenge today is to try to IMITATE and REPEAT exactly what I say. I don’t care where you are, at work, in the train, on the bus, IT IS YOUR JOB TO SPEAK OUTLOUD to use those pronunciation muscles to the fullest.

Mod says
Sawatdii ka Khun Thomas, thank you for your interest in learning Thai with me. I am no longer starting classes with new students as I am transitioning from teaching to other parts of the business such as marketing. I am sorry that I cannot personally help with your learning. However Kru Pear and Kru Ang are both an excellent teacher! My former students are having lessons with them continuously. You will be in good hands! Are you interested in online private lessons or group classes? 🙂
