4.0 out of 5 stars Making Out In Thai, May 28, 2006

This review is from: Making Out in Thai: Revised Edition (Making Out Books) (Paperback)

This book is very handy in getting a smile from Thai's.
The ladies appreciate that you try to speak the language!
I wouldn't reccommend this for a person seriously attempting to learn the language...afterall it is not a coursebook, but it is a good supplemental to have. This is a great communication starter and will teach you some interesting things to help during a vacation (nightlife, foods, shopping, etc.) This book can help you learn those words that most liberal coursebooks see as Taboo. Overall a decent book. Glad I bought it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple, powerful Thai missing in many normal phrase books, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Making Out in Thai (Making Out Books) (Paperback)

I have been learning Thai from numerous books and Tape sources for over two years (with limited success). Without living there it is difficult to pickup direct slang, colourful or romantic language, however this book provides many of the missing words and phrases that the young at heart really need. Although lack of tone marks is a major handicap... once corrected by locals the book provides more than enough to deal with all aspects of daily life. In fact my young Thai friend just kept my copy so she could obtain the English wording!

1.0 out of 5 stars Missing tone signs for the Thai words written in English, August 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Making Out in Thai (Making Out Books) (Paperback)

Usefull words in Thai. But when you miss the tones of this Thai words - you never get a chance in Thailand that the people will understand you. Why the author forgot the tone signs?
