Thai Language Learning Online

Learning Thai language online can be ideal for study as and

when time allows.

Transparent language online is one of the best courses

available with the course structured in units, each consisting of

short lessons and interesting activities.

Start to learn straightaway by clicking on the Thai written word

to hear it and see the word written in English and Thai. The

word can be repeated as often as you like until you are familiar

with it.

The sound speed can be adjusted which is good for newcomers

to Thai language sounds and the lesson can be saved as a PDF

for printing if desired.

Activities are listed at the bottom of the window and can be

initially in a map form or in preview type flashcards.

A really useful feature here is the pronunciation practise

activity where you can listen to the native speaker first and

then record your own version for playback. We already know

that Thai language is very tonal and this feature is great for

practising the spoken word until you are satisfied that you are

getting the tones to a good standard.

‘Recognise and write it’ is a good test to see if you can

remember the English version and this is probably the activity

where most beginners will practise.

On the left panel are Byki Quickstart Words and Vocabulary,

the flashcard type of learning system which helps in forming an

invaluable base vocabulary of common words to build upon.

The ‘produce and say it’ activity will test to see if you have the

Thai phrase correct or not, great for revision when you have

spare time, again based on flashcard learning.

For advanced users, the ‘Four Square’ activity really is fun. The

native speaker gives four phrases and you have to match the

correct Thai written phrase on one of the cards. This is good

for testing memory of written phrases.

‘Game show’ is an activity inserting missing Thai characters,

again for the more advanced student, as is the ‘dictation’

activity where the student inserts the given word or phrase

using an on screen keyboard in Thai or Roman depending on

the setting chosen. The keyboard view can be maximised too

which helps to identify the tone marks used in Thai writing, on

the keys.

The ‘Explore’ function gives some language and culture tips,

has a blog type of forum and a word of the day.

Mobile facilities are also included for downloading learning lists

for i-pad, i-phone and Android devices.

Overall, a pretty comprehensive Thai Language learning

package from the beginner through to the more advanced

student; and fun too. Go to course.
