Thai Language School in Samui

It is all too common to witness cultural conflict and miscommunication between first-timer in Asia and the local people. This is somewhat common in Thailand because the Thais English communication skills still need a lot of work. When West meets East, things might not be all easy-breezy especially when two different countries cannot communicate with one another. With the upcoming ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, the Thai government is encouraging its people to learn English. Frankly speaking, Thailand’s English skills are still lagging behind other ASEAN countries. Just take a look at some of their signs written in English and it is clear that English training will really benefit the country.

There are many English language schools scattered all across Thailand especially in Bangkok and Samui that can help Thai students in English. So while Thais are attempting to learn English, it’s only fair if foreigners who visit Thailand try to learn Thai as well. Thai language school in Samui such as the Thai Language Solutions offer courses for foreigners who are completely new to the language and those who have been living in Thailand for a while and just need a little brush up.

Let’s face it, Thai language can be difficult. Even Thai people themselves would agree with this. The language is quite complex because apart from the forty consonants and fifteen vowels, there are also tone marks which can differentiate between “suay” with a high tone and means “beautiful” and “suay” (spelled the same) but with a flat tone but means “doomed”. A very important part of the Thai language is the pronunciation and this is the part where foreigners may have the most trouble with. That’s why a teacher is recommended to teach the correct pronunciation. A typical Thai course consists of learning how to speak, read, listen, and write. However, not all foreigners would have time to learn all four skills. Some tourists may stay in Thailand only temporary and may just want to learn how to listen and speak. There are a couple of schools in Samui ( a popular tourist destination) that gives you the freedom to choose your own study plan. Thai Language Solutions is one such school. You may discuss the plan with the instructor and go over any concerns which you may have. Select the skills that you want to study and arrange the time that is most convenient for you to come to class. Not only does Thai Language Solutions have a Thai course, they also specialize in teaching English and TEFL training course.
