Although it sounds incredible, you can learn to read Thai in 16 hours using the “Rapid Method”. Most people take 5-6 months to learn the traditional way, and still struggle to make any progress in Thai. The Rapid Method is based on quirky, bizarre and obscene pictures and stories. So you don’t need to memorize anything. This approach also helps you to acquire a useful vocabulary with minimal effort.

Once you can read, everything begins to fall into place naturally. You start to absorb the Thai language from your surroundings, and you will find that you can speak more clearly and understand what people are saying more accurately.

Learning to read provides you with the fundamental skills for gaining fluency in speaking and understanding.
