sputnik,
Reading and writing are not taught until Module 3. I will be in Module 3 at the Nov. start date. I did not study module 1 at unity, so can't comment in depth, but apparently it is a lot of work on tones, basic vocab and patterns. Module 2 works on increasing vocab and pattern knowledge, module 3, etc. continue this while adding in reading/writing. I also assume that Union and Unity are similar as Unity broke off from Union. I can't see them devising a whole new curriculum. As for the one on one schools, I have studied at two of them. Based on my and other persons that I have spoken with experience, these lessons seem to often degenerate into either discussing one's love life and/or oftentimes either accepting or fending off the teacher's advances. The book never gets opened. These schools seem to largely lack a system/set curriculum. At union/unity, they know they have each day's lesson set out. Depends on how you want to learn. I found the one on one's to be less productive.

Thanks nikko,
I'll sign up for class once I arrive in BKK. How many students are currently enrolled in modules 1 and 2? and do you know what the maximum number of students allowed is per class? Just wondering what the chances are of the classes being full before I arrive. My backup plan is to try Union and if they're also full I'm not sure where to go - maybe NISA, YMCA?

Unity has classes in the morning and the afternoon. Last session, I tried to sign up a week before class for the am sesssion and it was full. There are about 18 classrooms with a max of 10 students per class (there are 9 in my class). Last year I looked into Union-- it was a 3 month wait at that time. 3 weeks ago, there was no wait. I guess it just depends on the time of year, etc., but both schools seem to fill up pretty quickly. BTW, I believe it is actually Y-W-CA (Siri Patana) which is at Sathorn Soi 13(?). Reputation wise, it might be the best of the one-on-one schools. I think Nisa follows the Union/Unity style, and may have broken off from Union also, but I'm really not sure. You might be able to reserve at Unity by e-mail before arrival.
