Why Learn Thai?
The predominant of Thailand’s more than 60 spoken languages, Thai is one of the most commonly spoken languages of Southeast Asia. Nearly 70 million people speak Thai, with the majority in Thailand and Cambodia. Thai is the official language of Thailand and an officially recognized minority language in Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Malaysia. The language has its own unique orthography and a complex script, with numerous relational markers related to class, geography, and spatial proximity. It is officially regulated by the Royal Society of Thailand.
Have you ever wanted to learn Thai? Pimsleur is the perfect place to start. In just 30 minutes per day, the Pimsleur Method™ will have you speaking Thai before you know it.

Speak Thai with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Thai. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Thai language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
