The alphabet came pretty quickly though only in the last 6 months or so have I begun to 'get' Thai...to an extent.<br /><br />I'm a very infrequent learner, but when I sit down it tends to be for hours, while Facebook and Twitter has helped massively giving an excuse to read and write in Thai. I keep meaning to write a mini-series on how do get the basics of learning together...maybe this comment will inspire it out of me.Jonhttp://www.jonathan-russell.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609612944219692121.post-70857574559020880272010-07-09T14:39:48.226+07:002010-07-09T14:39:48.226+07:00Jon, it's been a year now.

I truly understand what it feels like to keep struggling and trying to grab the hang of some new languages.<BR/><BR/>Thai pronunciation might be challenging, but the grammar is pretty easy! <BR/><BR/>Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

Big ask though.<BR/><BR/>Well, you know me 'X', always pushing the boundaries.

Learning to read Thai is scary at first but it is easier if you find the shortcuts suitable for how you learn.<BR/><BR/>Phil has an excellent resource for learning to read Thai. I believe there is nothing better than a Westerners view of the process as it clears up some of the mysteries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
