At first, we will send a request to the Thai Ministry of Education for a letter, stating that they allow you to take a one-year course with us. This will take probably about 2-3 weeks. After this letter has been issued, you can take it, along with other necessary documents to a Thai Embassy (usually Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia or Singapore; however, citizens from China, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Pakistan, Iran, and nations in Middle East, must return to their home country) and you will get a non-immigrant ‘ED’ visa with a validity of one year from the Thai Embassy. Secondly, as soon as the visa is submitted, you give us your visa (or a copy) in order to inform the Thai Ministry of Education that your application and visa are complete. Then, the Thai MoE will issue the second letter for you, which allows you to stay in Thailand for 90 days. This letter must be presented to a local Immigration Police Department (Sri Racha or Pattaya). Every 90 days, we will submit a letter, which must be presented at a local Immigration Police Department in order to extend your stay for another 90 days, until the expiration date of the visa.

Students will be asked to forget their prejudices regarding the Thai language and use our methods in order to make the entire course period pleasurable and most advantage able. Of course we open ourselves up for suggestions and ideas.Confusion and unfamiliarity with our teaching system Sometime, some students think that they are unable to catch up what a teacher is teaching and unable to memorize all lessons taught. However, if students repeat lessons for a few times they will realize that it’s much easier and everyone can learn and understand. The secret of language learning is to repeatedly speak and practice until it’s ‘absorbed.’ The best ‘tool’ in language learning is repetition and rehearsal.Automatic Response Reaction Learning languages is like playing piano or typing that needs rapidly automatic response reaction. Such automatic response reaction will be generated after repeated and familiar practice actions are performed.Never think too hard. The automatic response reaction can be gradually developed. Students need much more speaking and reading. Never think too hard, remember that the pianists have no time for thinking about their flicks onto piano keys.Automatically repeated speaking Students can develop their rapid and automatic response reaction. Repeated actions of practice will generate such rapid and automatic response reaction.Learning from listening, speaking, watching, and practicing Students should learn foreign languages as they learn their native language or mother tongue. Children hear first, and then they imitate what they heard; after that they write from what they saw; finally children are able to write on their own. When children learn a language, they speak what they hear repeatedly even if they don’t understand but they will know the meanings later. Similarly, students, who learn a foreign language, should do so without the need of being too serious. The way of thinking of adults differs from that from children. Adults need to know the reason why they have to do things and need to clearly understand why; therefore, when they question too much, such questioning actions will delay learning flow. Fast learning and understanding of foreign languages sometimes needs imitation rather than detailed explanation.Overcome poor memory through regular practice Enemy of languages learning is boredom and poor memory. With our methods, boredom will be overcome by rapidness and poor memory will be overcome by regular practice. Lesson review and practice not only make speaking flow, understanding, and reading better but will also help to improve student’s memory about what they are taught regardless their memory level.Free trial hours of learning We are pleased to welcome all of you to take a free trial lesson through our own particular method.
