I definitely learn better with face-to-face practice. I have some basic phrases down thanks to traveling and language lessons on CD (“Where is the bathroom?”, “I don’t understand Thai”, “How much is this?”, etc). However, I still can’t have a conversation with my family. There are so many things I’d love to know that I wouldn’t be able to do without learning Thai myself. Today, I hunted around online for a Thai language class in my area in the hopes of gaining some human interaction to correct my pronunciation and practice conversations with. I found a temple about 30 miles away, whose website is outdated and e-mail address doesn’t work. Next. Then, I found something called Thai Language Center in my city, but their website did not work and no one answered the phone number. Either way, I left a message so hopefully someone gets back to me with good news about an adult Thai language class (that fits in my schedule and isn’t overly expensive). Wish me luck!
