Best Thai language pocket/reference book plus great price,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thai Phrasebook: A Rough Phrasebook (Phrase Book, Rough Guide) (Thai Edition) (Paperback)
I lived in Thailand for six months and had no previous Thai language training. This is the book I found the most helpful. The first thing a beginner should do is study the pronunciation guide in the front of the book. Once you have that down you're set! You can use this book to look up a particular word or look up the key word in a common phrase, and chances are the phrase you want to say will be listed under that word. Very intuitive (for me anyway).

This review is from: Thai Phrasebook: A Rough Phrasebook (Phrase Book, Rough Guide) (Thai Edition) (Paperback)
This book is terrific!! It has English-thai, and Thai-english sections, and shows Thai with consistant rominazation, plus thai script.Now, the best part of the book is the intro (before the dictionary begins) to Thai language. It gives all the basic rules (summed up nicer than many Thai language books!) Rules for different kinds of questions and everything. Even a section on profanity (so you'll know when people are upset:) ANd all examples give thai script, roman-thai (including tone marks), and english. I highly recommend this book to anyone even remotely interesed in the Thai Languages. Besides, it's got a GREAT price :)
