Rating:  - Great Software to learn advanced Thai
My mother is from Thailand, and I never was taught the language as a child. I picked up this software before a monumental trip to meet my older sister who does not speak english. I studied each chapter religiously, and attempted to really LEARN each and every lesson. It was amazing!! You must be very self disciplined to use a piece of software like this, but the rewards are worth it. I can now speak casual Thai with my sister, and I understand my little nieces when they say that they love me. ... Read More
Rating: - Mixed
The speaking and the vocabulary building are nice. Where this product fails is in the writing area. If you were studying the writing independently, the program would reinforce it. But, if you buy the program to learn Thai speaking and writing you're only getting half of what you paid for.
Rating:  - Experienced only need apply
This program assumes that you can already read Thai script. There is nothing that teaches you the individual characters and sounds; you are presented, from the gitgo, with whole words and phrases (Thai script does not uses spaces between words). For the first two lessons, this approach is OK, as you associate sounds with pictures. However, the third lesson expects you to associate sounds with written symbols, which cannot be done without a prior study of the characters and some sense of what they ... Read More
Rating:  - Teacher Taught
I've taught French for 30-odd years and have always wanted to learn an Asian language. No, I'm not looking for a compendium of useful phrases for travel, but rather a working knowledge of the language. Oh, and as a proud autodidact, I want to do it on my own. I've been at it for a couple of weeks now, using Rosetta Stone as my core tool. I've supplemented it with a grammar, a dictionary, and more patience than I thought I had. I'm finding the Rosetta Stone approach necessary but not sufficient -- it's ... Read More
Rating: - This is genius
Even though i've only gotten to start a few lessons now, I think that this program is exactly what i've needed to learn Thai. Starting without explicit instructions, each lesson takes you through learning Thai in the way you learn your first language - pictures, sound, repetition, and associating words together through context instead of pre-determined vocabulary lists. The way they designed the program is genius! I highly recommend this instead of over-used language tapes and workbooks.
