WLT’s 2016 Thai Language Giveaway: Learn Thai from a White Guy

WLT’s 2016 Thai Language Giveaway…

Here we are already, at week FIVE of WLT’s seven weeks of Thai language giveaways! If you don’t already know, to find out what’s going on please read Vote THAI and WIN! | SEVEN Weeks of FREE Thai Giveaways.

Brett Whiteside: Learn Thai from a White Guy…

On this giveaway Brett from Learn Thai from a White Guy is giving away SIX prizes (not four as previously announced). TWO winners will receive Learn to Read Thai in 2 Weeks along with The Need to Know Sentence Pack. And TWO will get Learn to Read Thai in 2 Weeks on its own.

I wrote an overview of Learn to Read Thai in 2 Weeks awhile ago in my post Learn to Read the Thai Alphabet in 2 Weeks, 10 Days, 60 Minutes? Here’s a tidbit:

When struggling to learn tones and pronunciation, Brett created his own materials to teach himself Thai. After many adjustments to get it just right, and having great personal success himself, he designed a course to teach Thai to hundreds of expat students: Read Thai in Two Weeks.

The strength of this course is that being online it offers clickable audio files as well as quizzes, drills and exercises to test what you’ve learned (or not). Another plus – the mnemonics (memory hooks) help get the materials down solid. Anki files with audio, as well as the free (to the public) iOS and Android apps are tailored to the course.

The Need to Know Sentence Pack is a new course created as an addon to Learn to Read Thai in 2 Weeks. There is no transliteration in the course so you must know how to read Thai (hence the bundled prizes).

Brett: After getting a grasp on the sounds in any language, I believe that one should move immediately into learning a pile of short phrases and sentences that you might actually use if you get the opportunity to speak the language with a native speaker.

What I’ve done is pulled many of the sentences from my “100 Sentence Project” from 2008 and created examples for each of them, added in explanations where helpful or needed and had a professional voice artist record everything.
