Is Thai difficult to learn?
If you’re interested in learning the Thai language but haven’t started yet, you may be wondering: “Is Thai difficult to learn?” We’re here to tell you that learning Thai may not be as hard as you think it is!
There are certain things that make the Thai language hard to learn, and for these, you’ll need to spend some time studying and practicing. But there are also many other aspects that are pretty simple and straightforward! You may feel a little doubtful about this, as the Thai alphabet, grammar, pronunciation, and so on, are new to you. But you’ll get familiar with these things in no time once you start learning with us.
There are many foreigners who can speak and understand Thai so well, after just a few years, that even native speakers are surprised. So with some time, practice, and the right tools, anyone can learn to speak Thai. Yes, that includes you!

how to overcome shyness when learning a new language?
Let’s face it - it takes guts to learn a new language.
You will be pushed out of your comfort zone and this can feel quite intimidating for people who are shy by nature. However, being shy or introverted doesn’t mean you have to put your dreams of learning a new language on hold.
In fact, many timid people have successfully become fluent in a foreign language. It just takes baby steps to build on your confidence.
You might feel comfortable learning from grammar books but eventually, you're going to have to be courageous enough to go out there and communicate with others.
Here, we know how valuable it is to know a second or third language. Our mission is to make language learning easy and accessible to everyone.

WHY MOST FOREIGNERS FAIL TO LEARN TO SPEAK THAI AND THE SECRET TO SUCCESS:
My son, Charlie, and I highly recommend the most outstanding instructor of the Thai language -- Gini Suwachana.
Conversational literacy in speaking one of the most complex and challenging languages in the world is not a “walk in the park”--five tones and each tone either short or long for what appears, superficially, to be the same word.
So how did my Charlie and I become conversationally literate in order to engage in business transactions-- in weeks not months?
Charlie and I, starting from zero, engaged Gini for Thai instruction.
The approach for all of us was identical:
A) FIRST we learned basic reading and writing with a zero emphasis on speaking;
B) After a period of time, which varied for us, we continued our private instruction several hours weekly. Charlie, for example, concentrates on reading and writing technical Thai--with an emphasis on legal and finance terms. I focus on the reading of classic Siam poetry and literature.
The sad fact is that many foreigners attempt to learn conversational Thai without first learning their “A B Cs”. This is the fundamental reason, I believe, most foreigners fail to succeed in conversational Thai.
With Gini, I cannot list all of her accomplishments, but here are a few:
A) International travel and cross-cultural experience; Her European husband owns and operates a global IT Company, the result of which is that Gini is truly multi-cultural in her approach and understanding of the challenges you face and the goals that you have;
B) Gini recently completed her graduate study of Law at a prestigious Thai Law School with High Honors (graduated FIRST in her class). She has therefore qualified to sit for the Royal Thai Society of Law Bar Exam--later this year;
C) Gini is an accomplished athlete; which includes competitive swim training six days per week in a 50 meter pool in addition to a daily routine of cross-training exercises;
D) The List goes on; but suffice to say that Gini is a lovely and engaging person with, importantly, a beautiful heart.
CAVEAT: If you are not serious about your homework and class preparation, she will recommend that you study elsewhere. She does not need to teach to generate food for the table! She teaches because it is her "Love" and her "Hobby".
I won’t “sugar-coat” this undertaking. It will be one of the toughest challenges of your life. But as you intellectually proceed, it does get less onerous, but never “easy”. The result, however, is a thing of beauty!
Good luck, be sure to tell Gini you are a serious student. This new adventure will enrich your life every minute of every day in Thailand.

I only had time in Phuket for 8 months and I was so glad that I had Thai classes with kun Gini. Thai language is difficult, I know, but I really enjoyed having classes with her. I am so proud that I can speak ,read and write Thai (of course not fluently!) . “Kob kun ka,kun Gini”
I am sure ,you won’t regret to learn Thai with kun Gini.
