The Thai for Lovers cassette tapes accompany the "Thai for Lovers" book. They help students to instantly express feelings and needs in Thai and to improve their listening and speaking ability and expand the Thai vocabulary in a systematic way. They're fun to listen to! Two cassettes - one hour each.

PUBLISHER’S COMMENTS AND EXPLANATION,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thai for Lovers Tape Set (Audio Cassette)
PUBLISHER’S COMMENTS AND EXPLANATION We noticed the wide variation in reviews of the "Thai for Lovers Tape Set" -- some users gave it 1 star and some gave it 5! - and felt that an explanation on our part could be helpful. First, the tapes are useless without the "Thai for Lovers" book. They are not a stand-alone product but are meant to be an accompaniment to the book. Second, "Thai for Lovers" (the book and the tape set) is not designed to be a serious language course. Another book and tape set that we publish, "Thai for Beginners", serves that purpose. Instead, "Thai for Lovers" is meant to be a romantic phrase book with no pretensions of teaching the Thai language in a systematic way. The tapes follow the book exactly and phrases are spoken in natural Thai following the English translation. Some listeners pointed out that the Thai was very fast. We asked the Thai speakers to use their natural speed and intonation thinking that this would be what listeners wanted to hear. It turns out that some people like it and others would prefer a slower pace. In the next edition we will reconsider and possibly have the Thai voice talent slow down a bit. In the meantime, we honestly believe that the "Thai for Lovers" book and tape set offer the best and most complete Thai romantic phrase book available. The potential they have to help open doors to new or improved relationships make them a five star bargain indeed! Our company is doing its best to help our readers with the Thai language and to maintain quality products....

A poorly conceived effort for a good idea.,
By Ric Thibault (Bangkok Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thai for Lovers Tape Set (Audio Cassette)
I purchased both the book and the cassettes. The book contains many phrases which, as a frequent traveler to Thailand, I find myself wanting to use. However the audio cassettes, which is merely a page by page reading of the book, is an extreme disappointment. What with its five tones the Thai language is extremely difficult for the westerner to grasp - and merely pronouncing each phrase once in rapid fire Thai is not helpful to one who is trying to learn the subtleties of this rich foreign tongue. There are no pauses in the tape for the listener to repeat the phrases - there are no repetitions of the phrases - as in the Pimsler method of learning languages - so one is merely left with a soundtrack to the book - which will leave the neophyte Thai speaker no closer to mastering the language.

Thai for lover Book & tape,
By Pharmook (usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thai for Lovers Tape Set (Audio Cassette)
I enjoyed listening to the tapes very much. They are spoken at the Natural speed of Thai speakers and are easy to follow when used with the book (the book and tapes need to go together). The content is fun and the tapes are clear. If you are serious about speaking Thai to your lover, these tapes are a must!
