How to Read Thai: Colour Version


Book Description

Eight (8) simple rules stand between you and being able to read Thai! In a language where there are no spaces between words, many have asked us, where do you start, how can you start? The answer to this, and all your questions are in our new book in our "Quest - Quick, Easy, Simple Thai system - How to Read Thai." You can imagine that not being able to identify words is probably the biggest problem faced by new readers; and, it has to be said, is the single reason why a book of this nature has never been written before. Why? Because no-one has looked at the language in the same way we have. But, all you need to know are 2 things: The Thai alphabet 8 quick, easy, simple rules. On that note, this book does NOT teach you the Thai alphabet. If you don't know the Thai alphabet yet, then we would recommend either "Quest" volume II; or, if you prefer interactive learning with sounds, quizzes, tests, native speakers, etc., then perhaps our PC/Mac/iPad app The Learn Thai Alphabet Application - only available from www.learnthaialphabet.com - would be better. Using these means you've already learnt our system and are familiar with exactly why we succeed. As others have said: ""Well, I agree that your app and those posts* are like a speed-of-light catalyst in terms of teaching one the Thai script and reading it within literally two days (in my experience) which I find extraordinary." ""Emiliusz Smorczewski, Illinois, USA, 9th July 2013" .".".My fears of the Thai language were overtaking me until I used this program. ...I have tried numerous other products and they made no sense what so ever! ... I am amazed at my progress with a language I NEVER thought I could learn! The Thai language is very intimidating and this program has taken the fear away!"" "Sandy Ching, Cotacachi, Ecuador, 9th September 2013" So, if you can learn, or already know the Thai alphabet, you've already achieved the first step; however, the next question is can you learn 8 simple rules? Well, to gauge their difficulty, here are the first 2: Every syllable starts with a consonant A written vowel is always associated with a consonant. 2 down, 6 to go. Next, you just follow us, step-by-step as we guide you, explain, and show you exactly how we do it; and, by the end of the book, you will be able to read Thai. Our system is so simple, even an adult can do it (and we do mean this, children learn so much easier than adults). Thai script has been considered by many to be so complicated and difficult for foreigners to learn. This, in some way, explains why a book like this has never been written before; but, as with anything, simple is best: .".".These resources are making the learning of Thai finally a reality after numerous false starts. ...the simplicity of the system breaks down the psychological barriers to attacking the idea of reading/writing Thai."" "Brock Estes, Richmond, VA, 15th September 2013" So, if you've previously baulked or failed at reading Thai script, then we've removed all obstacles in your way. The pathway to your Quest lies open before you! HTRT is the fourth volume in Quest - Quick, Easy, Simple Thai. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * This book was compiled from 'posts' we wrote for our Learn Thai Alphabet app Members' Area and which then became this book. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ** Full testimonials are available at www.learnthaialphabet.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quest - Volume I is Learning Thai Your Great Adventure Quest - Volume II is Memory Aids to Your Great Adventure Quest - Volume III is The Perfect Thai Phrasebook - - - - - - - - www.learnthaiaphabet.com - - - - - -




Learning Thai, Your Great Adventure


Book Description

PLEASE NOTE: this version is the updated version of "Learning Thai, Your Great Adventure, ISBN: 978-1908203007" Many search online looking for free material to learn Thai with and, apart from wasted time, end up with confusing material, not knowing whether the material will actually work for them or not; and, whether they're actually wasting their time. If they do manage to finish successfully, there's rarely any idea on what to do next. Welcome to Quest. "Quick, Easy, Simple Thai" is the series we have written to help you fulfil your Quest to learn the beautiful Thai language. Embarking on such a project can be a daunting prospect, but to dispel all fears, we have broken your quest down into a series of small adventures - the starting point is "Volume I - Learning Thai, Your Great Adventure (or LTYGA)." But, what makes us different? "Quest" is the only end-to-end system which guarantees you will learn, be able to speak, and read Thai by the time you reach the end of our series. Even better is you'll enjoy yourself on the way: .".".your method really appeals to me and is FUN as well as clear. Thanks so much for all your hard work - I hope it all pays off for you and Duangta!"" Uda G, Chippenham, UK, 8th July 2013 "Quest" is designed with the absolute beginner in mind and though Thai is traditionally considered difficult to learn, - and learning Thai script ranks way, way up there with the best of the bunch - we make it so simple: ""I want to thank you for creating a system in which learning Thai is much much more natural rather than filled with 'technical jargon'..."" Emiliusz Smorczewski, Illinois, USA, 3rd July 2013 You may already know that there are 12 different transliteration systems in Thailand (transliteration is where the sounds of Thai are written in English) and if you've browsed extensively, then you'll realize different people use different systems. If your ultimate goal is to read Thai - and why wouldn't it be, we've made it so easy now - having to learn 1 transliteration system is still 1 too many. Ideally, you want to be able to read Thai script; so, why bother learning it in the first place? Well, unless you're a language genius or have huge amounts of time, then you're probably interested in learning as soon as possible; and, with Quest, you only learn 1 system. This way, you are focused, can follow exactly what we're saying and talking about and don't waste time. We also use our own color-coding system (which makes learning so much simple and easier for a beginner). As we use the same system across all our material (our books, and our pc, Mac, and iPad applications), you know you're on the fastest path to completing your quest. We give you what you need to learn, and introduce you to the Thai language, the Thai alphabet: the consonants, vowels, tone, and much more. Our full-color, 210-page book, is packed with everything you need to begin your adventure with the best start imaginable: ""I will inform you that learning Thai with the help of LTYGA and your online application has never been easier. Moreover, I must say that the resources that you have created are the best that I've found to learn the Thai script because all the necessary knowledge is in one place and these resources, I feel, are based on the student's needs to learn; to learn Thai without the hassles of jargon. LTYGA and your online application are to the point. I like that a lot."" Emiliusz Smorczewski, Illinois, USA, 7th August 2013 Don't delay, begin today! "LTYGA is the first volume in our Quest series: Quest - Quick, Easy, Simple Thai."

Fluent Forever


Book Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick. “A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages.”—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered. Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You’ll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you’ll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you’ll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day. This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.




Karsai Nei Tsang


Book Description

An illustrated guide to releasing emotional and physical blockages in the pelvic area through massage • Presents step-by-step instructions for sexual organ massages for women and men • Explains techniques to release knots, unravel nerve and lymphatic tangles, dissolve toxins and sediments, and increase blood flow • Effective for impotency, frequent and difficult urination, painful menstruation, ovarian cysts, menopause symptoms, painful intercourse, and low libido as well as back pain, sciatica, and hormone imbalance Our sexual organs play a major role in our physical and emotional health. Many emotional traumas and stresses are stored in the pelvic region in the form of tension in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons and imbalances in the meridians and organs, resulting in an accumulation of toxins and energetic knots and tangles. Freeing the jing chi of the sexual organs--a powerful source of healing energy--Karsai Nei Tsang helps to resolve physical and emotional blockages in the pelvic area through massage, meridian clearing, and detoxification. Illustrating complete sexual organ massages for women and for men, this book guides you through the techniques of Karsai Nei Tsang--including necessary detox preparations and the underlying Chi Nei Tsang principles--and shows you how to release knots and tight muscles (including the hip, buttock, and thigh muscles), unravel nerve and lymphatic tangles, dissolve toxins and sediments, and increase blood flow to the pelvic area. Addressing common problems associated with our sexual organs, this practice can be used to treat impotency, frequent and difficult urination, painful menstruation, ovarian cysts, menopause symptoms, painful intercourse, and low libido. It is also effective in alleviating back pain and sciatica, improving the body’s alignment, strengthening the pelvic floor, balancing the hormones, and increasing general vitality.
