Summary: An excellent place to start
Review: This is a very complete and well-done introduction to the Thai language. (Says someone who has been working at this, off and on, for more than ten years.)Here are a few tips if you want to learn this language. Get a book called "How to Learn Any Language," by Barry J. Farber. It's a quick and enjoyable read. Then simply follow his advice with regards to Thai. If you follow his advice, you will quickly realize that you need a lot of language-learning materials right away. (I would postpone the newspaper exercise until you have learned the Thai script, of course!) Second -- and this really threw me when I discovered it. The "notoriously difficult" consonant "poo plaa" is simply the French "p." (!!) Just as "too tao" is the French "t." If you know French, take advantage of this! These are NOT hard sounds to make. chook dii na khrap!

Summary: Better then all other book/audio combination i've seen...
Review: This past year i've been looking for a good book/audio combination to learn Thai.
Quality of the tapes is good and the possibility to do the writing and reading at the end of each lesson is perfect!
You can't learn Thai properly if you can't read and write it!
And it's easy in this set!
That's what makes this set (and the following set's) better than the other (more expensive!) learning programs.

Summary: Superb, Logical, and Organized
Review: This was well worth the buy. It is organized and logical. The vacabulary focuses on words that will most frequently be used. The dialogues were very relevant as well. If you want to learn this tonal language this tape set will be very helpful.
