Like you, I can read pretty much anything, but don’t know what the words mean, all the same it is great practice and reinforcement.

You will enjoy yourself so much more and Thai people will really warm to you for this. At cafes, markets bus stations it really makes that difference.

I found fantastic almost endless free resourses at http://learningthai.com/ Although it has changes a lot, read with Manee and the talking books are there. Many Thai will have had Read with Manee as their first book so this really cuts it with them.

Have fun and I will following this blogg for sure.

Resources on there were tons of pictures from useful things like Menus, shop signs, road signs etc. Some were very insightful like Thai Car Bumper stickers etc.
