Phonetic or Thai Script
The Intermediate Thai Language Course although focused on transitioning students from Phonetic to Thai Script can be offered as a Phonetic course. We have many students who wish to increase their Phonetic skills before moving to the Thai Script. However, it is our recommendation that you move to the Thai Script as early as possible. Only through learning Thai Script can you truly interact within Thailand.
