Recommendation for Thai Language School in Pattaya?

[WongamatAPI]

 

I live here full time and I'm looking to expand my communication abilities here. Can anyone recommend a Thai language school in Pattaya? I don't need it for the Ed visa, I'm wanting to read, write, and speak Thai. Thanks!

I would highly recommend CTLS language school Pattaya, i attended Walen Thai and Pro Language but found CTLS to be far better and there teach stuff that is very useable and every day talking. Personally i would give Walen a miss i done 60hrs there and did not learn a lot, i learned more in 20hrs at CTLS than what i did with 60 at Walen. Hope this helps you and good luck, its good fun and interesting when you learn at a good level and helps very much staying here.

I'm very interested in the best Thai language school in Patts. But I look at this website and am not real reassured. Unless I'm mistaken, they don't even list a set of Thai language classes. There is a 20-hr "Thai culture" course, but I get the impression it is for farang businessmen who need to get some kind of gov't certification from the school for this. The rest of the classes seem geared toward training teachers how to teach English as a foreign language (TEFL) to Thais. If it works for you, great, I'll check it out.

But going by reviews and the websites, I'm leaning heavily toward Pro Language. They seem to have a good track record in teaching Thai to foreigners. Their website even has a long video shot in an actual class that shows what it is like, and it looks ideal.

If you are actually over there, try contacting them and asking if you can sit in on a free lesson. Important considerations would be, class size, whether there is a tight fixed syllabus or whether they are flexible enough to adapt each lesson to suit needs and strengths of students, what sort of resources do they use, what teaching styles. Everyone of these factors can have an enormous effect on your progress. Remember also that reviews and recommendations from others, whilst helpful to a degree, will not necessarily mean that they will match your learning style or needs.
