"Everyday Thai for Beginners" is a language textbook that lays the essential groundwork for mastering authentic spoken Thai. It provides an introduction to the basics of communication using Central Thai vocabulary and idioms. Developed for teaching university students, it can be used in a variety of teaching and learning contexts. Organized into seven units and thirty thematic lessons, the book is designed to be used for a one-year study of Thai, taking a total of thirty weeks and 150 hours to complete. Basic Thai reading and writing ability is stressed from the outset in order to avoid using transliteration systems that hinder the mastery of correct pronunciation and intonation. The author's introduction concludes with these encouraging words: "Thai people greatly appreciate foreigners who learn their language. Your study of Thai will be amply rewarded in Thailand."
