SynopsisPREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED (new price with CD)Developed for students in beginning Thai classes outside Thailand, this book and accompanying CD provides a framework for students to use Thai interactively and communicatively through games and various activities. Wiworn Kesavatana-Dohrs is a lecturer in the Department of Asian Languages and Literatures at the University of Washington., Everyday Thai for Beginners is a language textbook with accompanying CD that lays the essential groundwork for mastering authentic spoken Thai. It provides an introduction to the basics of communication using Central Thai vocabulary and idioms. Developed for teaching university students, it can be used in a variety of teaching and learning contexts. Organized into seven units and thirty thematic lessons, the book is designed to be used for a one-year study of Thai, taking a total of thirty weeks and 150 hours to complete. Basic Thai reading and writing ability is assumed from the outset in order to avoid using transliteration systems that hinder the mastery of correct pronunciation and intonation.
