Anyone know of any courses like this in Chiangmai, or anywhere that offers this via distant learning (via correspondence)?

Here is a link to the story on 60 minutes, i tried to post it on the main thread but they all appear to be locked now.

I wonder how long it is before the ICT block this website from being viewed within Thailand like they did with the 'big trouble in thailand' series

Let me share my feedback about the HighSpeedThai system.

Before I started the program I had done a little self study and also completed a short course at a university in Thailand. After completing this university course, my tones were not good, I could not read Thai and my vocab was too small to be useful.

I then started with HighSpeedThai. So far I have completed around 45 lessons and I have learnt a great deal. Now my tones and pronunciation are MUCH better. I can read Thai quickly. I can understand and take part in day-to-day conversation. Recently I have been working 14 hour days at work so have not had much time to learn Thai. But I can assure you that if you complete the lessons you will learn and you will learn quickly. I hope to get back to my studies ASAP.

I have recommended the product to many of my friends will keep on doing so.

The program consists of the PDF, audio exercises and Anki exercises. The PDF explains the concepts and tells you what files to open. I had no trouble completing the lessons.

I feel the program is very well thought-out and structured. If you spend some time with the program, follow the instructions there is no way you can not learn.

Great, i'm in +1
