Learning Thai CD - Any recommendations

[Mr Wombat]

I am moving house and will have a 1 hour drive to work each day. Rather than listening to music I thought I might learn some basic thai vocabulary / phrases.

 

Any recommendations on a good thai language cd/book combo. I figure with 2 hours travel a day I should be able to learn enough thai to get me in trouble.

 

Cheers

I have the first 30 lessons of Pimsleur Thai burned to audio CD's but never seem to have the chance to listen to them. They use native speakers.

 

The Pimsleur Spanish lessons were great.

Before I moved here I would listen to Pimsleur Thai every day on the way to work, it got me through the basics pretty well. You can find a torrent somewhere and burn it to a cd. As long as you make sure to repeat as much as possible without rear-ending someone you'll learn enough to get by.

Thanks guys. I've downloaded the pimsleur torrent.

Great idea mate.

Stick with it you you will learn a lot.

I've got a few CDs but an too lazy to play them. Gotta get back into it.

They are a bit old so if you end up talking like Grandpa don't say you weren't warned.
