Why take this course?
Why learn to read Thai?
Improve pronunciation
Thai has many sounds that don't exist in English language so the only way to pronounce correctly is to learn to read the word in Thai.
Also, Thai has "short" and "long" vowels and tones. Without knowing Thai, it's very hard to represent these concepts.
Learn from authentic materials
Aside from learning materials, you won't find transliteration or "romanization" of Thai language in authentic content. So if you don't know how to read, your resources will be limited.
In Thailand everything is written in Thai
If you don't know how to read Thai, you'll be frustrated when you come to Thailand and see that all the signs and menus are written in Thai
Memorize vocabulary easier
If you know how to read Thai, you can memorize the vocabulary and be confident you are pronouncing it correctly. Also when you come across new words, you will be able to read it.

Feedback from Real Students
Amber
"When I first started learning how to read in Thai, I felt very overwhelmed. As my native language is English, I was not familiar with tones or the reading pattern of the Thai language. I’ve attempted to learn how to read Thai through books, YouTube, and other online sources. This is THE BEST I’ve ever seen. Grace creates a palatable learning course by breaking down the learning process in bit size chunks that keep you from feeling overwhelmed. By the end of the course, you realize just how much you learned and how you CAN read Thai! I personally love that the course is a series of videos with Grace explaining and showing you how to read Thai. My only regret is that I did not find this course sooner!"

"I could already read okay before purchasing this course but module 3 (and reviewing bits from the other modules) helped me fill in a lot of gaps I had. I still review this course all the time when I forget things."

"I was at a point where I memorized the Thai consonants and vowels but I didn't know where to go after that. I tried a few youtube videos but there wasn't enough substance. I also like learning on my own so I didn't want a private teacher. I tried the various modules with Grace. It was awesome. I could learn at my own pace and go back and review topics.She takes you through a proven process. I would highly recommend Grace. she is awesome."
