I would like others on this forum to share their secrets to learning Thai other than language school.
I bought a couple of phrase books and started with simple phrases like: Where is the restarunt XXX? How far is XXX? How is the food? Where is this bar XXX? Once you get a few simple phrases down you can intermix the verbs and nouns to ask for or say just about any basic thing. Of course understanding them is another thing, but with time that will come. If nothing else, you attempting to learn thai will be appreciated by them and certainly lots of laughs by them to be shared by all, as you butcher their language in your learning.
