Kru Nariss, Thai language teacher

About Kru Nariss

Hi, I'm Kru Nariss. I designed this course because I know how overwhelming Thai can feel at first. Those five tones, the unfamiliar sounds... I explain each concept clearly so you understand how the language works. You will build confidence lesson by lesson.

Nariss is amazing. I'm so glad I used her program for beginners Thai and even happier I chose to do private lessons. You can tell she really cares and wants you to succeed.

I took the advanced beginners course in Thai with Kru Nariss, and I have rarely experienced such a nice teacher. Dedicated, patient and she listens very well to the student. She adapts her teaching material and encouraged me in a sympathetic manner to stay motivated. Yes, she deserves a big 10!

Learning Thai with Kru Nariss is really fun! She explains everything clearly and helps her students whenever they encounter difficulties or have questions. Another valuable thing is that she will always send us course recaps and other additional learning material tailored to our needs. Very thoughtful!

I've tried other online Thai courses, but Teacher Nariss stands out. She makes learning a new language feel like a conversation, not a lesson.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Yes. This course teaches the Thai language for beginners and starts from zero. No prior Thai knowledge is needed. You learn through a phonetic (romanized) system, so you can focus on speaking and listening without needing to read Thai script.
No. This course focuses entirely on spoken Thai. It uses romanized pronunciation so you can start speaking immediately. If you want to learn reading and writing, that is covered in a future A2 course.
Lifetime access. You can revisit any lesson, retake any quiz, and download all materials at any time. Includes all future updates.
Each lesson includes a video tutorial, a downloadable PDF cheat sheet with vocabulary and phrases, and interactive quizzes to test your understanding.
