The materials are very good, the structure and how each chapter is laid out is excellent, I really like the vocabulary, dialogues and the test section. I studied beginners thai at the university of London, School of Oriental and African Studies, Russell Square Campus. I find the one on one lessons with thai-style much more effective for me. I also like the focus on speaking thai. The course at SOAS was a large class so speaking was limited. The SOAS course also focused on reading, writing and speaking, which I struggled to keep pace with the class
