Have you already tried to learn a language, but found later you can barely say a word?
Lets Talk Thai is different. This language course works!

Why is it so hard to learn a language?

Answer:  Because they are taught the wrong way.

The usual ‘teach yourself’ methods make almost impossible demands on the time, dedication and memory of students.  This results in frustration, disillusionment and self-doubt.  If some words or phrases happen to be remembered, situational ‘choking’ is common because either the recall is not instantaneous or because students try to do two-way mental translations between their native and acquired tongues.

Success in learning a foreign language is not determined by a person’s age, gender, or how much money they spend on the study course.  What matters most are the two “M”s, namely, motivation and method.  Obviously you are already motivated and interested (or you would not be reading this webpage), so that leaves method, or how you learn.  The type of language course you choose is more important than how much it cost.

“Almost every significant breakthrough is first a break with tradition, with old ways of thinking, with old paradigms”  Stephen Covey

Some people say Let’s Talk Thai is a breakthrough.  Others call it revolutionary.  However you want to describe it, one thing is clear.  Let’s Talk Thai is certainly a break with traditional formats of language courses.  Its new approach to learning spoken Thai may well change the way teachers and authors organise their foreign language courses in future.  Let’s Talk Thai succeeds brilliantly, all in one cheap and compact package.

Let’s Talk Thai is a language kit intended to help you achieve basic communication in Thai, however it also provides an ideal base platform for those wishing to acquire Thai at higher levels of proficiency.  Besides being suitable for both self-paced learning and as resource material for teachers, Let’s Talk Thai can also be used as an intensive “Crash Course”.  The program itself was designed and written in accordance with results of recent research.  

Unfortunately, almost anyone who is competent in a foreign language can call themselves a teacher, write some course material and charge eager students outrageous sums for it.  When students learn very little despite much effort they blame themselves rather than blaming the mediocre course material or the author.

With Let’s Talk Thai, the authors have crafted an excellent keyword-based course where just two hundred essential Thai words comprise around sixty percent of normal conversation.  Let’s Talk Thai gives you these key words along with examples of how to use them, all presented in tabulated form that is easy to read and search.  Throughout the course you will also learn how they are applied in statements, questions and simple conversations.

You will find little excuse for less than perfect pronunciation, since a full pronunciation CD is included, with both male and female native speakers.  Because the sections of the book and the CD match each other, you will learn perfect pronunciation by copying the speakers as you progress through the lessons.

Keywords are just part of the secret of Let’s Talk Thai’s success.  Included in the course is a comprehensive list of English words that are now a part of the Thai language.

How much?

Price is a poor guide to the effectiveness of self-study language courses, with courses costing $100 and more still offering mediocre results at best.  This compact package gives students what others can not: proficiency in basic communication at a lower cost in money, time and energy.

At a recommended price of A$29.95 from retailers in Australia, Let’s Talk Thai represents outstanding value.
