2 weeks to speak

2 weeks to speak. I have just finished the course and am impressed with the progress we have made in such a short time frame. As a linguist I have much appreciated teacher Jom's passion and professionalism. During the 50 hours he has taught us, not a dull moment has passed. I think that students and teachers alike will agree that is quite a feat indeed. Though five hours of classes a day seemed like a lot at first, time really flew by.

The method is based to a large extend on repeating words and phrases. This is an excellent way to train the brain and the muscular articulation base, especially for beginners who have nearly no prior knowledge to work with. As the course evolves, you will be expected to be considerably more creative though and transform questions into answers and answers into questions, or even translate phrases from English into Thai.

I believe a great advantage of the course to be the size of the group, which is kept relatively small. In our case there were 4 students, which gave us the effective and fun interaction of peer learning, yet also allowed for sufficient attention for each individual student.

To get the full potential of the course it is probably advisable to try and look into some of the basics of the Thai language before starting. Let it be clear that you do not need any prior knowledge of Thai, but it will speed up your language acquisition during the course. I would also advise blocking your agenda for the duration of the course, as missing a day or more will be far from effective.

Looking back on the past 2 weeks I can only conclude that I have learned a tremendous deal and I could genuinely not have wished for more.
