Hello,
I just started learning Thai through the platform ThaiPod101, and I love it already.
I stick to the suggested pathway, and after Lesson 3 included the pathway for learning, reading and writing the Thai alphabet. I never would have imagined that it would be so easy to learn another language that also uses a completely different set of letters.
I have the additional difficulty of learning a third language via the second language, because my mothers tongue is actually German. But I feel like I’m doing just fine.
The lesson dialogues are easy to follow so far.

I like using/learning with ThaiPod101 because I am finally learning to read and write the Thai language, which is the only way I will become fluent. Thank you for all of your well developed resources!

I recently visited Chiang Mai Thailand with my daughter. We traveled alone… not with a tour group. And we stayed in a small guesthouse… not a fancy hotel where the employees spoke fluent English. We arranged day trips for ourselves… private cooking lessons, hiking, biking, kayaking down the Ping river. And we wandered the city on our own, ordering food from street vendors, wandering through the markets, and catching our own transportation. It was a fantastic trip, and we came away wanting to visit again.
One of the highlights of our trip was our ability to talk to the local people to some degree in their own language… thanks to some serious studying on ThaiPod101 in the year before the trip. No, we were not fluent. But we learned enough to get around, greet and thank people that we met, order food, and ask simple questions. The people there were so appreciative that we had made the effort to learn their language, rather than assuming that they would know ours. We were welcomed warmly into their community, largely because of our attempts to bridge that language barrier.
I suggest that some time spent on ThaiPod101 learning the basics of the language (and the alphabet) is a valuable exercise before traveling to Thailand. Thank you ThaiPod101 for making a wonderful trip even better for us.

I want to tell you, “Thank you so much. ” Before I started to learn Thai, I think Thai language will be difficult for me to learn. But it is not actually difficult to learn because Thaipod101 made me changed my mind. After I learned the Thai alphabet from you, I am so happy and satisfied with what I learnt. I will continue to learn Thai on Thaipod101 for my dream. I will say again, “Thanks a lot.”

Thai is such an amazing language and makes you want to learn more every day. The learning program is well structured and explicit. From my perspective as an absolute beginner, Thai language is like a knowledge-filled mystery box. Learning Thai is a new experience and I’m very happy that I started it.

In the past two years I have tried a number of services in an attempt to learn the Thai language… with varying degrees of success.
From day one, I knew this one was different… so many options… so many ways to learn.
But, the most important one is, these guys stay after you…. they keep pushing you… they will not let you fail. They almost make you feel guilty if you don’t try their tools and methods. They motivate you… they make you feel like you can do it. I’m loving it.

Hello Thaipod101,
Well I just wanted to let you know since I have been using product, I was able to ask my girlfriend at the time to marry me and she went crazy with joy when I asked her in Thai. I am able to speak to my future in-laws, order food, and get around town. I also wanted to let you know that the Thai people in my future in-laws village get a kick out of me speaking Thai.
Thank you very much for all your hard work and getting me up to speed in my Thai. My soon to be wife and her family thank you for all the help.

Since I have arrived in Thailand to volunteer teaching English, I have realized the importance of knowing the Thai language to apply in class. My new Thai skills come directly from dictionary and audio provided from ThaiPod101. Having a basic grasp of word pronunciation provided with the audio is a valuable resource. I now use the dictionary on a daily basis and my Thai students give me big smiles and high fives when I speak the words I have learned on ThaiPod101.

I received ThaiPod101 a little over a week ago. I expected to get something similar to all of the other language sites I have seen. But ThaiPod101 is different. The progressive learning structure and practical examples are very easy to follow. I was already familiar with some words in the Thai language. But, I speak it on a very rudimentary level. I have begun filling in the gaps and by listening to the lessons, I understand the use of classifiers much more quickly. I like the way ThaiPod101 puts the terms in context by using situations that really do apply to real world experiences. With the way the lesson is structured, I can easily remember the topic of the conversation and it makes it a lot easier to commit the new vocabulary words to memory. Thank you for this simple and fun to use learning tool.
