Dear Aspiring Thai Language Learners,
Have you tried learning Thai
- Via structured classroom lessons, only to go to Thailand and realise you can’t speak a word? 😭
- By yourself from online podcasts and YouTube videos without much success? 🥺
Or have you
- Given up learning Thai completely because it’s too difficult, and you don’t know where to start? 😨
Fret not, you have come to the right place. 🥰
Check out reviews on my Thai Language lessons! 🤩
Wonderful experience with P’Joanne’s lessons. I believe that she is the best Thai teacher anyone needs to learn fluent Thai in a practical, engaging, and relatable way. What she can provide is:…
1. Relating Thai to English and Mandarin.
This allows English/ Mandarin speakers to pick up Thai easily because they are able to relate similarities and differences in sentence structure and vocabulary.
2. First-hand experience of learning Thai from scratch
Being someone who started as an adult learner to being extremely fluent in the language, she is able to provide useful tips from personal experience. Her friendly demeanour also makes the learning experience much less daunting.
3. Knowledge of the language itself
Having an extensive background in Thai including both the authentic Thai experience and aptitude in standardised tests, she also has the expertise required to provide the full learning experience equivalent to (or better than) what a native Thai teacher can.
4. Dedication
She is dedicated to helping everyone learn Thai, and she offers students the chance to ask questions outside of lesson time should they encounter any doubts.
Hallo, Sawatdii ka สวัสดีค่ะ🙏🏼
My name is Joanne (Thai nickname= Jann). I’m 100% Singaporean but I enjoy being a “fake Thai”. Till today, some people still believe I am half Thai 😂
I decided to build this website because I noticed that most Thai language learning resources in Singapore are shared by Thais. Which is awesome in its way because no one can speak better Thai than a “true blue” Thai. But this also means no one can understand the struggles of learning Thai better than a foreigner, who is starting from zero Thai exposure.
Despite not being perfect in my Thai language, I can easily and confidently navigate myself around Thailand. I can haggle for better prices in Thai, order Thai Street food and hop onto public buses and boats in Thailand. I can give directions to Thai taxi drivers, read road signs and understand some Thai shows without subtitles. If your goal is SURVIVAL THAI, or just to get a basic foundation of the Thai language before learning Thai for business reasons, I will be your perfect Thai language teacher to help you reach your goals! 🤩
There are just so many reasons to learn the Thai language. Whatever your motivations, you’ve hit the jackpot by landing on my website! I’ll be sharing my personal experiences on why I learnt Thai, how I became fluent in the Thai Language within 2.5 years and how learning Thai has helped me in my career.
You did not read that wrongly. I became fluent in the Thai language within 2.5 years – and I would still be certified to teach Thai had I bothered to renew my certificate with The Sirindhorn Thai Language Institute, Chulalongkorn University.
