4.0 out of 5 stars AUA Course, February 20, 2002

This is a great workbook besides the fact that I cannot find the reference book that goes hand and hand with it. If you want to learn Thai script and the alphabet this book is good, but like I said the referene book is a big part of it.

This review is from: A.U.A. Language Center Thai Course: Reading and Writing--Mostly Reading (Paperback)

This book is very well written and it's a great resource for anyone wanting to learn to read and write Thai. It contains short lessons (mostly one page each) that make you understand the writing system step by step (consonants, vowels, tone rules, spelling). The workbook ("mostly writing") is not necessary to learn the alphabet and I found myself using only the "mostly reading" book. However, this is not a Thai textbook (it focuses only on the writing system) - I use it together with "Thai Language and Culture for Beginners" by Yuphaphann Hoonchamlong and find these two go very well together.

It may still be possible to obtain the workbook from AUA in Thailand. I recently (2008) contacted them about another book in this series and was told they still had it available for sale, so they probably have the workbook too. AUA email address obtainable from their website.
