You will learn Thai fast and easily while having fun.

When you learn Thai at Lanta International Language School you will encounter teaching methods that make you do, act out and experience the Thai language. This is quite different from traditional methods used at most other language schools.

It is important to understand this as you will gain maximum benefit from our methods if you are able to relax and let go of the urge to take notes and memorize vocabulary lists, which might be your first impulse when put in the situation of learning a new language.

If the idea of learning by doing, touching, smelling, tasting, experiencing, looking and listening appeals to you, then you are all set to take our courses.

Why do we teach this way?

We have chosen these methods for 3 reasons - the methods are fast, effective and fun.

FAST: According to Dr. James J. Asher, who is the originator of one of the methods, you learn 4-5 times faster this way compared to traditional teaching.
EFFECTIVE: Your learning will be deeper which means that you will get quicker mental access to your new knowledge and better retention over time.
FUN: It is fun to study and it is fun to teach this way. This makes the course enjoyable for both students and teachers, and it is much easier to study while you are having fun.

Scientific base

We do not use one single teaching method in our Thai language courses as that would bore you to death. Instead, we use a combination of proven and well-researched methods to give you a varied experience that supports most learning styles.

The research that we have based most of our teaching on is that of Dr. James J. Asher, Blaine Ray, Prof. Stephen Krashen and Dr. Paul Pimsleur. All of them are well known in the field of foreign language acquisition. After studying their work, we have adapted their ideas to our students’ needs and tested the outcome to create the best possible language course.
