Eight simple rules stand between you and being able to read Thai! In a language where there are no spaces between words, many have asked us, where do you start, how can you start? The answer to this, and all your questions are in our new book in our "Quest - Quick, Easy, Simple Thai system - How to Read Thai." You can imagine that not being able to identify words is probably the biggest problem faced by new readers; and, it has to be said, is the single reason why a book of this nature has never been written before. Why? Because no-one has looked at the language in the same way we have. But, all you need to know are 2 things: The Thai alphabet 8 quick, easy, simple rules. On that note, this book does NOT teach you the Thai alphabet. If you don't know the Thai alphabet yet, then we would recommend either "Quest" volume II; or, if you prefer interactive learning with sounds, quizzes, tests, native speakers, etc., then perhaps our PC/Mac/iPad app The Learn Thai Alphabet Application - only available from www.learnthaialphabet.com - would be better. Using these means you've already learnt our system and are familiar with exactly why we succeed. As others have said: ""Well, I agree that your app and those posts* are like a speed-of-light catalyst in terms of teaching one the Thai script and reading it within literally two days (in my experience) which I find extraordinary." ""Emiliusz Smorczewski, Illinois, USA, 9th July 2013" .".".My fears of the Thai language were overtaking me until I used this program. ...I have tried numerous other products and they made no sense what so ever! ... I am amazed at my progress with a language I NEVER thought I could learn! The Thai language is very intimidating and this program has taken the fear away!"" "Sandy Ching, Cotacachi, Ecuador, 9th September 2013" So, if you can learn, or already know the Thai alphabet, you've already achieved the first step; however, the next question is can you learn 8 simple rules? Well, to gauge their difficulty, here are the first 2: Every syllable starts with a consonant A written vowel is always associated with a consonant. 2 down, 6 to go. Next, you just follow us, step-by-step as we guide you, explain, and show you exactly how we do it; and, by the end of the book, you will be able to read Thai. Our system is so simple, even an adult can do it (and we do mean this, children learn so much easier than adults). Thai script has been considered by many to be so complicated and difficult for foreigners to learn. This, in some way, explains why a book like this has never been written before; but, as with anything, simple is best: .".".These resources are making the learning of Thai finally a reality after numerous false starts. ...the simplicity of the system breaks down the psychological barriers to attacking the idea of reading/writing Thai."" "Brock Estes, Richmond, VA, 15th September 2013" So, if you've previously baulked or failed at reading Thai script, then we've removed all obstacles in your way.

How to Read Thai is live. The Learn Thai Alphabet and Learn Thai Numbers Web and iPad Applications are now live at www.learnthaialphabet.com. The best Thai learning book ever! If you want to learn to speak, read and write Thai, then this is the book for you. There are a number of books that offer to help you to learn the language but this book is unlike any to date. Numerous illustrations, dozens of examples of sentences, phrases and idioms from a native Thai speaker will help you attain the skills necessary to start reading, speaking and writing Thai. If you've ever tried to learn Thai before you will know how difficult learning the alphabet can be. Later, finding out that some of the consonants have multiple sounds (depending on their position in the syllable) can can put even the hardened learner off: this book will change all that. With an illustrated story, we walk you through every letter of the alphabet providing word samples of all the consonants and a dialogue that links the alphabet together to ensure that once you've learnt it, you'll never forget it. It is best to learn the consonants by class but learning it this way doesn't help you with the alphabet order, you need something else: this book has it. The first thing you see is the consonant character staring right back at you out of the page. Once your eyes have adjusted, on the left page, you see simple dialogue written in word-spaced Thai. Thai script doesn't have spaces, it has no hyphens, and little other punctuation, and can be difficult to learn, this is why we use word-spaced Thai. It enables you to see how the syllables, the words and the sentence is broken down. Directly beneath this, is the Romanized transliteration. The transliteration means that even before you have learnt a single Thai consonant you're reading Thai. You can see the shape of the letters, the tone of the word, you can see how they're written and you can see the sounds that they make, straight away. We follow this throughout the entire story. Secondly, on the page facing you, is exactly the same dialogue. This time it is written in Thai script exactly how it would be written: no spaces, no punctuation, this is real-life! This would be daunting for most but, with a quick glance to the left page, you have the word-spaced Thai to help you. Once your eyes adapt and get used to reading the script, you'll find that your ability improves and you're soon reading Thai script from the right-page and have no need of anything written in the dialogue on the left. Of course, we need to know the meaning of the words and the English translation is written directly beneath the Thai script. So, with minimal effort and no need to search, you have word spaced Thai, transliterated Thai, full Thai script and the English translation on the pages in front of you. No other book offers this. There are many more tips in the book and it is laid out to help you learn in a logical manner, to help you to master the alphabet, and to help you to speak, read and write Thai. Inside the book: the 6 basic rules that will make reading Thai easy! memory aids to help you learn the Tone Marks and to learn the rules for calculating tone: you'll never forget it and will be amazed at how easy it can be. an 1800+ entry index (hyperlinked in the pdf version available from the website) useful phrases to help you through your time in the Land of Smiles. cultural information.

PLEASE NOTE: this version is the updated version of "Learning Thai, Your Great Adventure, ISBN: 978-1908203007" Many search online looking for free material to learn Thai with and, apart from wasted time, end up with confusing material, not knowing whether the material will actually work for them or not; and, whether they're actually wasting their time. If they do manage to finish successfully, there's rarely any idea on what to do next. Welcome to Quest. "Quick, Easy, Simple Thai" is the series we have written to help you fulfil your Quest to learn the beautiful Thai language. Embarking on such a project can be a daunting prospect, but to dispel all fears, we have broken your quest down into a series of small adventures - the starting point is "Volume I - Learning Thai, Your Great Adventure (or LTYGA)." But, what makes us different? "Quest" is the only end-to-end system which guarantees you will learn, be able to speak, and read Thai by the time you reach the end of our series. Even better is you'll enjoy yourself on the way: .".".your method really appeals to me and is FUN as well as clear. Thanks so much for all your hard work - I hope it all pays off for you and Duangta!"" Uda G, Chippenham, UK, 8th July 2013 "Quest" is designed with the absolute beginner in mind and though Thai is traditionally considered difficult to learn, - and learning Thai script ranks way, way up there with the best of the bunch - we make it so simple: ""I want to thank you for creating a system in which learning Thai is much much more natural rather than filled with 'technical jargon'..."" Emiliusz Smorczewski, Illinois, USA, 3rd July 2013 You may already know that there are 12 different transliteration systems in Thailand (transliteration is where the sounds of Thai are written in English) and if you've browsed extensively, then you'll realize different people use different systems. If your ultimate goal is to read Thai - and why wouldn't it be, we've made it so easy now - having to learn 1 transliteration system is still 1 too many. Ideally, you want to be able to read Thai script; so, why bother learning it in the first place? Well, unless you're a language genius or have huge amounts of time, then you're probably interested in learning as soon as possible; and, with Quest, you only learn 1 system. This way, you are focused, can follow exactly what we're saying and talking about and don't waste time. We also use our own color-coding system (which makes learning so much simple and easier for a beginner). As we use the same system across all our material (our books, and our pc, Mac, and iPad applications), you know you're on the fastest path to completing your quest. We give you what you need to learn, and introduce you to the Thai language, the Thai alphabet: the consonants, vowels, tone, and much more. Our full-color, 210-page book, is packed with everything you need to begin your adventure with the best start imaginable: ""I will inform you that learning Thai with the help of LTYGA and your online application has never been easier. Moreover, I must say that the resources that you have created are the best that I've found to learn the Thai script because all the necessary knowledge is in one place and these resources, I feel, are based on the student's needs to learn; to learn Thai without the hassles of jargon. LTYGA and your online application are to the point. I like that a lot."" Emiliusz Smorczewski, Illinois, USA, 7th August 2013 Don't delay, begin today! "LTYGA is the first volume in our Quest series: Quest - Quick, Easy, Simple Thai."
