Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. This course 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.
