        I am mixed Thai and European. I already know small conversational Thai, but when the lessons got advanced I struggle to remember new words in my late 30’s. Sai has excellent material and approach to teaching which makes it much easier for me. I highly recommend her. Chok dee khap

        Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

        🌆 How do I improve my Thai in Phoenix, AZ and what does it take in terms of commitment?

        Besides self-study with mobile applications, you have several principal choices for learning Thai interactively in Phoenix, AZ. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, ask about the centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are less pricey.) Your second option can be local specialized language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can look for a private Thai tutor in Phoenix, AZ. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Phoenix, AZ and online Thai tutors.

        🎟 Is it affordable to learn Thai and what do Thai tutors charge?

        For university and college courses you can estimate Thai course cost as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for about 50 course hours each semester. Language academies and individual Thai tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Thai tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, positive reviews and popularity. Average student satisfaction for Thai lessons on Preply is 4.98 out of 5 stars.

        📚 How much Thai do I need to know to sign up for a course?

        When considering college and learning center classes be prepared pass a few pre-requisites. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and tests, so research the details in advance. With personal Thai tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

        🔥 Why is Thai so difficult and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

        One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Thai. According to experts, you can gain basic Thai fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand many sentences, have simple conversations, socialize in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Thai. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Thai tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.

        🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Thai?

        Some people seem to have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Thai will demand at least 600 hours of active use. The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of Thai or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Thai out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Thai classes online.

        🤳 Can I pick my own Thai instructor?

        In language centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, always! The largest selection of pre-screened Thai tutors with extensive profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

        🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

        Colleges offer classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools typically give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
