Thai for complete beginners.

No Thai needed. Lessons begin with the words and situations you meet first, in a small group, so you speak from the first lesson.

The programme

Thai beginner course

Group or private · A1 to A2 · No experience needed

A Thai course for students starting from nothing. Lessons begin with the words and situations you meet first — introducing yourself, asking simple questions, getting through an everyday exchange — so you are speaking from the first lesson rather than memorising lists. The pace follows the group, and the teacher repeats what the class needs repeated.
