Taree really loves to read and write and has written about
her experiences teaching Thai and having fun with the Thai language, as there are a lot of funny stories of foreign students
learning Thai as their second language.
This writing was actually published as a comedy pocket book
and it made Thai readers happy to read something about foreigners
and their Thai language.
If you’re interested in this book and want to know how funny
it is, you can read it on this website.
TV

has a lot to share with you. He brings
to Paradigm 9 years of experience
teaching Thai to foreigners in one
language school, and 4 years lecturing
in another. TV is excited to help you
enjoy your stay in Thailand and make your life here more
comfortable and fun.

Get
Nattarada Chaokampra’s nickname is Get.
It sounds like an English word, right?
Actually there’s a funny story behind it.
Actually, her name is ‘Great’, but as you’ll
learn, Thai doesn’t have many consonant clusters.The result is that the Thai accent turns ‘great’ into get’, and there we are!
She’s been teaching Thai for 5 years, to foreigners from all over
the world. She likes it a lot, because as she says, “It has really opened my mind, because I can exchange opinions, language, culture, etc. with my students.”
When you come to study at Paradigm, you will definitely
have a lot of fun learning Thai, and what’s more, you’ll learn
the Thai way of life – our culture, thoughts and beliefs, etc.
Come make friends with us and learn the real Thai way!
Ko
Sarinpas Thaweekong, or “Ko,” had this
to say about teaching Thai: “You might
not know how difficult your own language
is until you have to teach it to foreigners.
To me, teaching the Thai language is very
fun and challenging. Through teaching,
I have learnt many new things about my
own language, and look forward to sharing
this experience with you.
And as you know, learning language is not only about the language itself; it’s also about learning culture and customs,
and having fun!”
Whether you already know some Thai or don’t know any at all,
and whether or not you are familiar with Thai culture,
Ko looks forward to meeting you at Paradigm and invites you
to study with us!
We make learning Thai easy and fun! |
