Hello Listeners, There are two halves to learning Thai. No, no. Not grammar and vocabulary. Not reading and speaking. Think bigger. The first half is your learning material and your methods. This includes your ThaiPod101 lessons, your lesson notes, your textbooks, workbooks, apps, and so on. And the second half? It’s you. It’s how much you care to learn the language.

Czech uses the Latin script, which makes it easier to learn than a character-based... Show more
