You will find good reports on many schools by Tod Daniels on website "womenlearningthai". Tod Daniels will also reply to you personally with questions you may have.

In general - you shouldn't even consider Schools whose primary business appears to be Ed Visas. It should be a School with scheduled classes 5 days a week, typically for 3-4 hours/day. Most Schools will give you one free trial lesson.

There have been good reports on Pro Language in Times Square.

Chops - I am more than twice your age and over the years have "quite scientifically" studied my own level of energy both physically and mentally (and modifications thereof) - AND - observed others with their complaints etc. etc..

As has been said before - I feel - it is very often "attitude" that slows us down. But even "attitude" has a cause and effect - therefore there is most likely an "imbalance" in your system. An "attitude" seems very often impossible to change when one suffers from lack of energy - from lack of "elan vital".

A blood analysis should specifically define what imbalance you may - if any - have. In my earlier years in Thailand I also "suffered" from a certain lethargy - which I now seem to totally control.
In my own case - I choose to take Multivitamins and specifically a B-12 supplement and ofcourse drink plenty of liquid (WATER that is) in this hot and humid climate.

Choose very carefully and insist on seeing educational qualifications on Teachers - AND - School Principal.

Your current private lessons seem rather expensive.
You will get better results - without any cost - from the website Thailanguagewiki.com
This website was put together by the Foreign Service Institute - has audio with transliteration but also with Thaiscript - once you learned how to read it.

I have personally used Rosetta Stone - which I bought several years ago before relocating to Thailand. I found it to be not very useful for beginners - but useful at the "advanced beginners" level.

Good Luck

Difficult question to answer - when you do not know what it is - BUT - beware - you do not want a "pain reliever" but rather a "muscle relaxant".

Difference being - pain reliever will "mask the problem" temporarily - muscle relaxant will reduce/relax spasm, caused by sprain, sport injuries, rheumatic pain etc etc etc..
