What if you can already read and now want to become conversationally fluent?
Erin is your follow-on tutor, and also revision buddy, who will help you to consolidate your reading and pronunciation skills and work through the basic conversation-through-reading course, Everyday Thai for Beginners.
She learnt to read and speak Thai from scratch many years ago with the Rapid Method as a native English speaker. So she’s struggled to understand and apply the same concepts, just like you.
Erin will be your learning buddy, a bit like a graduate tutor helping out undergraduates. Her role is simply to explain (or re-explain) the key concepts that you are struggling with and help you get the correct pronunciation from a farang/Westerner’s point of view.
It’s lonely and sometimes difficult to motivate yourself to study by yourself online. So making a commitment with a tutor who can share your journey, explain the concepts in more depth and guide you through the exercises is a sure way of getting it done.
You can do both! I recommend that you repeat the course that we work through together in the online workshop – sign up with Erin if you don’t want to do it alone.
Cost ฿14,000 for 20 one-hour sessions (฿700/hr)*
The Rapid Read Thai and Everyday Thai courses are separate purchases.
Note. If you’re repeating the course material then 20 hours will suffice; but if you’re starting from scratch then you should allow about 60 hours over about five months altogether. If you book the entire 60 hours in advance then only ฿36,000 (฿600/hr)
* If you don’t want to commit to 20 hours then you can book fewer hours, but without benefiting from the discounted rates. ฿8,000 for 10 hours (฿800/hr); ฿4,500 for 5 hours (฿900/hr); ฿1,900 for 2 hours (฿950/hr); ฿1,000 for one hour.
