ศาลาชุมนุม

[ChristianG]

I have been learning thai language for many years yet (with many and large breaks of course)
learning on my own with books and tapes.
Now I had 40 lessons with Ladawan and I made such a great leap in especially reading and
writing skills that I am sure it was the right decision.
Ladawan is a very professional teacher, always good humored, motivating and very patient.
I am happy that I found her and I am looking forward to next lessons soon.

I've been taking lessons from kruu ladawan for a bit more than 3 months now. Picking up a language is tough for me but through her well structured and systematic lessons, my thai is progressing steadily over each lesson. To top it off, kruu ladawan is very professional but is also very personal and witty. I look forward to our lessons together every week and am always impressed that she remembers where we left off the last time even though I don't

I'm really happy I've found her and have been telling my friends of this great and affortable way of learning thai from a excellent teacher using skype (which works well for this).

I have been taking lessons with kruu Ladawan for about two months now, and I have to say that learning Thai via Skype, and from someone with Kruu Ladawan's capacity, competence and easy-going nature, has been a joy from the start. I can without reservations recommend her to anyone interested in learning some Thai.

I was actually searching for a Thai language school near where I live, but unable to find any, when I came across some information about learning Thai via Skype. With limited time available, I thought it would be worthwhile to try. It was an easy decision to give it a try, because kruu Ladawan offered a 20 minute test session for free, which I beleive she will offer any potential student.

After the test session, it was an easy decision to go ahead with the first course. Kruu Ladawan's easy-going and friendly nature, combined with her professionalism in her approach to teaching Thai, made it an easy decision to make. I can add that her very affordable prices didn't make the decision any harder.

After about two months of learning Thai with Kruu Ladawan, I can say that I am very glad I made the decision to go ahead with this. Unfortunately, I have only had time for two hours per week. Whenever I have a chance, I will try to increase to four hours per week. But even with only two hours per week, I see that there is good progress in this relatively short time since I started. Kruu Ladawan does not make it easy for you. She requires you to do homework, she pushes you with her questions during the sessions (she always remembers what you had problem with last time).....all that is necessary to learn a new language. But I have to add, she does everything with a big smile, which makes it so much easier. Another thing, her excellent English is a big plus.

Kruu Ladawan is nothing short of fantastic. I don’t have an aptitude for languages and I have studied Thai on and off for awhile as a hobby. I have had several teachers in the past all of who were good. Ladawan however, is simply great. Her English is perfect and she is always able to explain the meaning of words as well as the differences and subtleties between words and sentence structures. Her lessons are well written and include a structured repetition that has allowed me to make more progress more quickly than I ever have in the past. I would recommend Ladawan without hesitation to anyone who is interested in either learning or improving their Thai.

Hey everyone,

I've been taking Thai lessons w/ Kruu Ladawan for about four months now. Out of all the professional teachers I've had in my life, she ranks near the top. Her preparation for our classes is impeccable and her ability to change gears mid-class is always quick and precise. She specifically uses these skills to provide solid lesson plans that evolve around my learning style, improve upon and reinforce what I've already learned, and teach me things that are relevant to my interests. Our lessons are formal, yet just like a long conversation with a friend - she holds me to high standards while being very friendly and easygoing at the same time.

Having just moved to Thailand last week, I've had a ton of fun and have realized great success with communicating with everyone here. I think it's pretty safe to say that I never would have come this far in my Thai language ability if I never met Kruu Ladawan. My only regret is not starting lessons with her before the first time I visited Thailand.

Thanks Kruu and see you soon for our next lesson,

Andrew
