สวัสดีครับ! (sa-wat-dee-krap! - Hello!)

Learning to read Thai is very confusing and difficult. Learning how to read from a native ENGLISH speaker makes the process much, much more simple. In this course you will learn how to read Thai in an efficient way. Within 4 hours you'll be able to use my free cheat sheet to read 75% of all written Thai (No, that's not an exaggeration!). Thai takes a long time and a lot of practice to master but this course is the stepping stone to getting you to understand the concepts much faster than most Thai teachers can!

Knowing how to read Thai actually makes learning Thai as a whole much, much easier.

Unlike English and other languages, Thai consonants and vowels ALWAYSmake the same sound. For example, in English the letter A is sometimes pronounced "ah," "aye," or "ae." In Thai, this is not the case. Because of this, once you learn how to read and write Thai, learning new words is easy! When I am learning new vocab words, I always ask my friends how to spell it in Thai so that I know the exact pronunciation.

Again, learning Thai is not easy. Anyone who says it is easy is trying to sell you some BS. This course is for you to learn faster by getting the concepts taught to you in English by a native English speaker.

Thais begin learning English from a native Thai speaker, so you should start to learn Thai from a native English speaker!
