I’m Ayre (แอร์) – Kriengkrai Jermpatjanya . Let me tell you a little bit about why I might be a suitable tutor for you to learn the Thai language (ภาษาไทย). I based in Phukey and Bangkok, any foreigner who can speak English and Chinese can take a course with me.
From a guy who afraid to speak English, to these day I travel around the world with the confident in my communication skills.
Back when I was in high school, my most hated subject is English. I don’t hate the language itself but the way they teach us to remember all the grammar and such makes me bored to death.
I thought to myself, when I was young I could speak Thai already, I didn’t even know about all these adjectives and Thai grammar so why is it different from English?
That’s when I learned English in a new method—a natural one, by watching movies and imitating everything that all the actors did on screen.
Not only now, I sound close to a native speaker, but I am also able to speak without thinking about forming sentences or putting in the right grammatical.
Be warned though, my course is to help you to better communicate in Thai, meaning I focus on listening and speaking. Not those grammatical for the exam.
Interested? Follow me and see how my course works!!
First of all, the skill that you must master before all else is listening. Yeah, it sounds weird but it’s true.
Only when you have the tone like us Thais, and be able to listen to what we said, you would be able to imitate us. If you still speak English or Thai with English tone and pronunciation, you won’t be able to learn the words fast enough and sometimes Thais won’t understand you.
Forexample, if were to talk about those dark delicious icecream that you all love. You would pronounce some thing like
chaa·kluht
now, when Thai people say it we say
Choc.Go.Lat
Which is wrong of course! So when Thai try to communicate with you about this favor of ice cream, you wouldn’t know what are we talking about. Now in reverse situation, if you were to walk into the Thai market and not use body language. Simply order chaa.kluht wouldn’t work either.
That’s how we can start. Change your tone, your pronunciation to sound like Thai, Think like Thai. How?….by hanging around Thais a lot and watching a lot of Thai movies.
Then start to repeat saying some short words with the actors on screen
Acting together with the actor. If he points his finger at something and says ‘ไปเอามาจากไหนวะ’ pai auo ma jak nai wa / you job is to repeat the word and point the finger at something and create this curious feeling inside.
All this process will be your homework but when we meet face to face, I’ll also help you speed up the process. Nothing better than hanging around Thai and speaking to the real locals.
The rest of the process I want to keep it a secret, but it takes time and effort. However, once you do it for 2-3 months…man. The Thais on the street will lift their eyebrows when you speak Thai with them.
Including all the preparation stages, we will only count 1 course when we do online live. All the learning methods and groundwork are included. This will take about 3 months of your time.
If you prefer to learn in person, I have an office in Phuket Town. In the case where I need to travel, extra transportation will be charged. The official bill will be given to you as well.
Custom course – After the main course, it’s time for you to speed up the learning process by actually talking with real Thais. We will talk about movie stars, gossip about the latest news like actual friends, and cover all the easy subjects until, if you progress enough, maybe politics or culture. This can be done through online sessions or we can meet face to face.
1. If I cannot be on time or appear in the live session without notice, you will get a refund for that session, or you can choose to have an extra session as compensation.
2. In the case that you wish to cancel the class, you can do so up to 48 hours before the scheduled time. However, if there are transportation bills, you will need to cover that cost.
3. All sales on the package are final. No refund will be issued, but you can keep the package as long as you wish. There will be no expiration. The only exception is if the cancellation is from my side. In that case, you can cancel the leftover package or the whole amount if no sessions have been used yet. The refund will be through only the same original method of payment..
