      Why choose Pureepat S.
      "Pam was amazing at helping me speak the Thai I already knew, even though I usually feel a bit shy speaking. Her supportive and engaging attitude made learning enjoyable, and I'm grateful for the boost in speaking-confidence she gave me so far. She writes down the words I didn't know yet so I can use it for learning outside of class, seems very useful 🤓! Had a great second class with Pam and I'm looking forward for learning more with her."

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Thai in Walnut Creek, CA and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using apps, you have a few main possibilities for learning Thai interactively in Walnut Creek, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, check centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your other spource can be local commercial language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can look for a private Thai tutor in Walnut Creek, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Walnut Creek, CA and online Thai tutors.

    🎟 How expensive is it to learn Thai and what do Thai tutors charge?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Thai course cost as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for 1/2 of a hundred class hours each semester. Language centers and independent Thai tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the better priced Thai tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 18 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, positive reviews and student demand. Customer review average for Thai lessons on Preply is 4.98 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What level of Thai do I need to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared pass a few pre-requisites. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and tests, so research those in advance. With personal Thai tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Thai so challenging and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Thai. Realistically, you can gain basic Thai fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand common sentences, have simple conversations, socialize in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Thai. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Thai tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.

    🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Thai?

    Some people seem to have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Thai will require at least 600 hours of practice. The required duration of time can differ significantly depending on your current level of Thai or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, try typing using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Thai out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Thai classes online.

    🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Thai coach?

    In language centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, of course! The largest selection of verified Thai tutors with extensive profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

    🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

    Colleges typically offer classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
