Introduces both the spoken and written language and aims to provide beginning students with a practical command of the language. Proper pronunciation and the development of conversational proficiency are strongly emphasized. Among the topics introduced are tonal recognition and pronunciation, simple sentence structure, interrogatives, counting and telling time. Upon completion of this course students should be able to introduce themselves, exchange greetings and converse simply on a number of everyday topics.
Thai Language and Culture Level 2
Upon completion of Level Two, students should be able to engage in more sophisticated conversations on a wider range of everyday topics as well as be able to read and write simple texts. Among the topics introduced at this level are modals, comparative constructions and the past and future verb tenses.
Text
(Teacher selected resources)
Since communication in a foreign language requires an understanding of the cultural context, our aim is to teach you the living language through carefully selected textbooks, newspaper and magazine articles and other relevant materials, rather than have you repeat and memorize tourist phrases.
Our teachers usually provide suggestions for texts and supplementary materials before the beginning of a program, both group and private.
Tuition
Tuition for the Thai program at all levels is $499. There is a non-refundable $35 registration fee for first-time students only.
In addition to our core program, we offer immersion programs which cover levels 1 to 5 of our core program in 6 weeks (4 weeks in summer). Tuition for the daytime immersion program is $2,495.

Private instruction offers students an opportunity to work one-on-one with an instructor at their own pace. The instructor carefully selects materials and plans lessons to effectively meet the student's goals and individual learning style.
Private programs offer a flexible schedule and a customized curriculum. A minimum of 20 hours of instruction with one or two classes (each 90 or 120 minutes) per week is the suggested module, but dates, times and content can be arranged according to your requirement.
Immersion programs are designed to teach the equivalent of levels 1 to 5 of the Institute's regular core programs in one 6-week or 4-week, 90-hour sessions. Classes meet Monday through Friday, 3 hours a day in 6-week programs/4.5 hours a day in 4-week programs).
The main goal of these programs, which meet in small classes of 4 to 12, is to help students, from day one, to increase confidence in their ability to use their new language in a wide range of real-life situations and improve their oral skills as they progress from level to level.
