The
THAI Language:
Thai
is the official language of Thailand. Thai is spoken by approximately
50 million people in Thailand, Vietnam, and the Yunnan province
of China. It has several dialects. Although most of the words are
monosyllables, a number of them are polysyllabic. Because there
is no inflection, word order is important for showing grammatical
relationships. The Thai language is also tonal, and the tones serve
to distinguish meanings of words otherwise pronounced alike. There
are five tones: high, middle, low, rising, and falling. Over the
centuries Thai has borrowed many words from Chinese, Khmer, Pali,
Sanskrit, and, more recently, from European languages such as French
and English. The Thai language has its own alphabet, which ultimately
goes back to a script of Southern India and which was adopted in
the 13th century AD. Thai is written from left to right. Thai is
formerly known as Siamese and is a member of the Tai or Thai subfamily
of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages. |

The
Pimsleur Method:
With
Pimsleur language courses, you will quickly learn to speak Greek
and understand it as well. You're not just learning "phrases"
with the Pimsleur method, you're acquiring essential, conversational
language skills! You'll be thrilled to discover you can hold real
conversations in your new language when you have finished the course.
Dr. Pimsleur devoted his life to language
teaching and was one of the world’s leading experts in applied
linguistics. After years of research and development, including
field studies of spoken language training with adults, Dr. Pimsleur
created a new method for self–instruction in spoken languages
that is based on the way the human brain takes in language as speech.
Of the several unique features of the Method, two key principles:
the Principle of Anticipation
and a scientific principle of memory that he called Graduated
Interval Recall This is the only language teaching program which
incorporates these essential principles to provide you with the
most easy–to–do, amazingly rapid, and highly cost–effective
learning method available.
