English as a Second Language for Thai Speakers

Hi, Everyone. :notworthy:

Does anyone know the best "English as a Second Language for Thai Speakers" audio courses that exist?

I'd like to practice English with someone daily via skype....

Bruce, I always thought English was your first language? I used a site called livemocha.com to learn Portugese for a trip to Brazil that never happened. Might be useful for you, as you get to interact with native speakers who want to improve their English while teaching their language.

I apologize. My post was ambiguously worded.

English is my first language. I want to teach my new Thai boyfriend English as quickly as possible. I want to practice English with him every day via skype... and I thought a great audio course, like Pimsleur or something, would be a great structure for our little daily tutor sessions ( he and me on skype ).

Unfortunately, although I love Pimsleur, they don't seem to have "English as a Second Language for Thai Speakers". They have one for every other language speaker under the sun.... but not Thai speakers. I wish they just had a 100% English one that was generic enough for anyone to learn English.

Any suggestions for the best audio course? ( a web site or software would not work as well, since he and I plan to do it together via skype call. )

I recommend you start with basic English phrases such as Excuse me.

Why not just use the Pimsleur structure, phrases etc. Write down the lessons they use to teach Thai and speak them to your bf in English. You can play him the Thai from the course if he doesn't understand what any phrase means.

That is a brilliant idea. It's so simple. Why didn't I think of that!? Thanks.

( As a nice side effect, I might actually learn some Thai in the process too. )
