What Students Say
In planning my first trip to Thailand, Kru Nariss has been very helpful in building a targeted lesson plan for basic conversation skills. Given the challenge of learning a new language in a short time, I think it's essential to talk with a native speaker. Kru Nariss has provided great advice on pronunciation, and she has a number of sample audio tracks so you can review the sounds of the Thai language on your own time. She also has answered questions I have had about the culture and traveling in the country.
