hi moke,
i have had 80 hours so far in about 5 weeks and have bought another 80 hours. that says I am happy with what they are doing. first the teachers are fun. they have different books for different levels and they just go page by page. so every day you get to know a bit more vocabulary. if you do 4 hours, there will be 3 speaking and 1 writing. if you do 2 a day, it will be 2 speaking.
the program is good, but they just do it and they are not very flexible. I tried to take it slowly with the writing and focus more on speaking, but that did no work. so I am only studying the speaking now. the lack of flexibility is a minor thing though. just check it out, you will like it.
for every hour of studying you will need about 1 to 2 hours at home if you want to make repetition and learn everything by hearth. so 20 hours a week is quite ambitious, if you take it seriously.
cheers

mokewen,
I can also recommend Somchart school on soi 19. Studied there earlier this year. Great place, friendly staff, a lot of fun. And most importantly, my Thai language skills improved considerably.

Thanks jjj -
I need to become proficient in Thai as I will retire to BKK and start a business.
I originally planned to retire to China and spent 2 years studying putonghua. Should have devoted that effort to Thai!
