On methods I started out my professional life as a portrait artist. For WLT, I made it my quest to find everything I could to help learn Thai.īut too much of a good thing can sidetrack the early efforts of a language learner. And I especially like how he is advising beginners to stay away from the Internet for awhile. Your ’50 things with accents and languages’ is truely amazing, so I hope others will wander over there too. Richard, Welcome to WLT! It is wonderful to see your comments here. Luca’s fine example is a fabulous way to attain a good knowledge of Thai, or indeed any language. Thai is a fabulous language and I have found the Thai people to be hospitable and friendly – the “land of the smiles” truly matches my experience of Thailand.Īnyone wishing to learn this incredible tongue will be well rewarded by the pleasure one gets from conversing with other speakers of the language.
Anyone wishing to get into a language would do well to employ Luca’s methods. I have spoken to him on many occasions and he has a remarkable ability to really get inside languages and use them in a natural way in conversation. His methods are truly great for learning languages and they work extremely well. I’ll look forward to the second part.Ĭatherine, Great post! Thanks for highlighting Luca and his great language ability on your blog. I can’t promise it will be a hour each time. I’ve loaded the first CD in the drive and I’m going to learn a little five days a week. Okay I’ve selected mine and it is Teach yourself Thai by David Smyth. ’Rather than surfing the Internet in search of multiple Thai language courses, concentrate on one set of materials’. Get some good basics before over indulging is the message I’m getting. Quality before quantity and walk before you run are to me the same approach. I see a stark similarity in this method and Daniel T Murphy’s.
Okay this one has got me hooked although the bait has been swallowed the hook is loose in my mouth, you might say I’m intrigued enough to follow this route.
