A fantastic introduction to Thai with lots of phrases and words you'll actually use. Jom is an incredible teacher, always engaging and dropping in new words and phrases that will come in handy in your travels. Small classes so you get the help you need and an open environment to learn in.
Although I could only do 1 week I learnt so much it surprised me how much you can pick up in such a short amount of time with the right teacher. Lots of repetition and actually speaking involved.
Wish I had done the full course!
I'm taking intensive Thai classes online.
Compared to other language courses I have taken, Mind Your Language focuses more on practical application and more on repetition.
The course is about 20% new sentence structures or new words and 80% conversation, where you practice again and again with words you have learned (even from a few months ago). The teacher is very patient, with humour but also professional: always correcting mistakes without judging. He explains the difference between formal and informal Thai, we practice mostly with informal Thai (like sometimes using an L instead of an R and dropping the pronouns; as this is how most Thai actually speak).
He uses his own material, it can use some refinement, but what I like is that it builds vocabulary by category (many books focus on a dialogue and then eg you learn only the Thai words for 3 jobs, so you are directly stuck if reality is a bit different from the dialogue. Here you learn 30 jobs; same with dishes, drinks, locations, vegetables etc).
In short: very recommended. You will learn Thai that you can actually use.
I start the course in the end of March with Jom, Id like to improve Thai language and I thought this was the right time to do it online.
I really enjoy the class and I find the way of teaching very interesting and efficient.
Jom is a really good teacher and the lesson is fluent and fun too!
Je viens de terminer la session « level 1 » de la formation intensive « 2 weeks to speak Thai » du 29 avril au 10 mai 2019. Mon objectif était de pouvoir (enfin) communiquer avec les habitants de ce beau pays qui m’accueille.
Avant de m’engager, j’avais participé à une initiation dans une autre école et rencontré les responsables dans une autre école. Le rythme proposé ailleurs (généralement 2 à 3 cours par semaine à raison de 2h), comme les méthodes, ne m’ont pas paru suffisamment professionnels pour obtenir rapidement un résultat pour la débutante que j'étais.
J’ai alors pris contact via Facebook avec l’école « Mind your language » qui opère le stage « 2 weeks to speak Thai ». Je pensais en effet que l’immersion et l'apprentissage intensif serait plus profitable pour moi et je disposais de 2 semaines libres.
J’ai aussitôt été en confiance dès les premiers échanges avec Jom et Chiara.
J’ai ensuite consulté l’ensemble des avis trouvés sur Internet. L’équipe pédagogique vous encadre parfaitement dès les premiers contacts et très vite la date a été confirmée et je me suis engagée.
Notre session comportait 3 adultes.
L’enseignement se déroule dans un environnement très convivial et se conclut par un cours de cuisine thaïe tout aussi convivial chez Infusion Cooking Class.
La formation proposée « 2 weeks to speak Thai » donne les bases essentielles de la communication orale et de la grammaire/conjugaison. Elle ouvre aussi à une meilleure compréhension générale.
Les qualités d’enseignant de Jom, sont un réel plus. Jom est particulièrement expérimenté, il adore enseigner et transmettre, c’est un passionné ; il est réellement doué pour rendre son enseignement intéressant et inviter à participer de manière soutenue. Sa méthode est axée sur la répétition : pour muscler notre mémoire, il répète régulièrement les mêmes phrases et interroge chaque participant à tour de rôle. Ses cours sont dynamiques, vivants, il sait s’adapter aux différents niveaux et rythmes de compréhension, vous motiver quand vous désespérez parfois de retenir ces mots qui se ressemblent étonnamment et se prononcent difficilement, et est objectivement pédagogue pour vous encourager à persévérer quand parfois vous vous décourager.
Les cours sont donnés en anglais. Jom parle un anglais parfait et vraiment très clair. Du coups, ces deux semaines ont également été pour moi un parfait entraînement pour améliorer aussi mon anglais.
Nous avons également eu la chance de profiter de son assistant, Mind, professeur en formation qui apprend les techniques d’enseignement de Jom. Mind nous a également entraînés avec un accent thai différent pour améliorer notre compréhension. Il a le meilleur des professeurs !
Je suis Française et j’étais à 99% débutante, à vrai dire je ne connaissais qu’une trentaine de mots en Thaï, qui plus est que je prononçais mal. Ces 2 semaines intensives (5h par jour x 5 jours par semaine) sont un plus pour qui veut de solides bases pour commencer à communiquer.
La formation est aussi une immersion dans la culture locale grâce aux anecdotes relatées par Jom.
Sa technique pour booster la mémoire par la répétition est efficace, j’entends encore les phrases que l’on a tant répétées :) !!!
La formule intensive est parfaite pour les personnes motivées, il faut vraiment travailler pour améliorer son apprentissage, apprendre le vocabulaire et pratiquer bien sûr le plus possible.
Maintenant il faut se lancer !
Thank you very much for taking time to write a review of the course.
I'm Belgian nationality and I've been going and coming to Thailand in the past 7 years. I've tried to learn this language myself through the books and signed up some hours with Thai teachers on skype, but it didn't go well as I've planned and expected it to be, so I decided to search for intensive courses (speaking) during my vacations and this course was recommended by one of his ex-students who has done the course with him before.
I wasn't sure at the beginning but until I've read many positive comments about the teaching methods he uses so I decided to go on and signed up for the last course of 2018.
The whole 2 weeks were absolutely amazing and worth every penny!
What happened in our class was what the school has promised us. Jom started to make us speak and repeat questions, answers, positive sentences and negative sentences on day 1 (there were 8 of us). The teaching methods are unbelievable, it's very simple but effective and at the end of every day, I went back to my hotel with a sore jaw. :-)
He's very informative with a great sense of humour.
I highly recommended the 2 weeks to speak with Jom Nawa.
Thank you very much for your great review. Hope to see you for level at the end of this year.
I took a total of 4 weeks of level 1 and 2 of 2 weeks 'intensive Thai conversation course'. I was amazed that there were a lot of language schools on Koh Samui, but after examining it I chose from the fact that the reputation was the best, but I think it was really good at this school.
The most important thing is Jom Nawa's enthusiasm and established teaching method. It was very easy to understand Thai language that can be used immediately in practice, and I was able to learn in a pleasant atmosphere. Of course the contents have become more complicated and more difficult each day, but it has become very fun to study, and the time has passed every day. It is said that it is 'intensive (intensive course)' and there are 5 hours of hard work every day from Monday to Friday, but it is best to study intensively if you want to study languages personally I thought.
The class was also about 10 people at the maximum, but I think that the efficiency of learning with three people at level 1 and 4 people at level 2 was also good.
First of all, I need to speak English to some extent, but now I have friends of various nationalities and it has been a very fulfilling time. If you want to learn Thai at the resort, we recommend it.
Thank you very much for your review Kazu. I hope your coffee shop is going well.
After „2 Weeks To Speak - Intensive Thai Course“ I can say WOW!
I expected a lot, but not this :)
We were a small class of 5 students and Jom, our teacher.
Joms teaching method is perfect to me and I felt every minute that he loves his job.
After just two weeks our heads are full of Thai Language and Sounds. Even it was hard and brain burning, we learned and spoke Thai so much and laugh everyday by our student Kauderwelsch.
I don’t want to miss this 2 amazing weeks and I wish I had language teachers like Jom before.
Thank you, Jom!
Thank you very much, Sybille. I will send you some useful stuff about learning to read Thai very soon.
Ich ging ich für zwei Wochen auf die "Mind Your Language School" in Bophut/Koh Samui. Der Leiter der Schule ist Jom Nawa, der zugleich den zweiwöchigen Thai-Intensivkurs leitete. Am Anfang zweifelte ich zwar, ob so ein Sprachkurs in englischer Kurssprache das Richtige für mich sei. Aber nach den ersten Tagen stellte ich doch fest, dass dies für mich eine sehr gute Entscheidung war.
Die Schule selbst ist klein, aber fein. Das Gebäude besteht aus zwei Etagen, im Erdgeschoss mit einer kleinen Küche und alles klimatisiert. Die Lehrer sind alle sehr nett und freundlich. In unserer Klasse waren wir vier Schüler, weshalb jeder entsprechend oft von Jom zum Unterricht und dem Lehrstoff der vergangen Tage befragt wurde. Das passte aber sehr gut zum Leitthema der Schule. Nämlich durch Wiederholen der Wörter und Sätze das Ganze sich schneller und besser zu merken. Die beiden Lehrbücher konzentrieren sich auf das Wesentliche und beziehen sich stark auf Alltagsgespräche in Thailand, bzw. sind sehr praxisorientiert.
Thank you very much for your review Uwe. Hope you and your wife are enjoying the time in Germany.
I am happy to have done the two weeks to speak course with teacher Jom and 4 classmates. I learned A LOT in the little time we had. I love that this course teaches useful and common Thai words and phrases so you can start practicing after the first day. Jom is the best teacher and challenges each of his students. His teaching methods are superb and the learning environment is very fun and feels comfortable. I recommend anyone interested in learning Thai to come study here with teacher Jom! You won’t regret it! The cooking class included with the course is such a blast and I loved that I had the options to make all of my dishes vegan and they were still sooo delicious! All of the staff at Mind Your Language school are friendly and the facility is nice. I really wish I could continue to level 2, but I had to return home after the course. I look forward to studying Thai again at Mind Your Language! It’s so fun to be a student there :)
My advice to future travelers on this program....
Practice using your Thai with locals! The more you speak and listen the faster you can learn Thai! Really focus on learning how to pronounce new Thai words correctly. It helps so much to get it right the first time verses correcting it after years of saying it incorrectly. Have an open mind and just listen carefully to the sound of vowels and tones ;)
Would I recommend this program?
Yes, I would

Thank you very much for your review, Jaime. I hope to see you back to Thailand to continue learning the language you love.
The family type of atmosphere in the school was welcoming from the moment you stepped through the door. Coffee or tea was offered which was welcoming.
All the teachers and staff are very friendly and it is that feeling of friendship that makes you feel at ease with your surroundings.
The course teachers are most informative and put the course content across in a friendly and enjoyable manner.
I look back at each lesson and think did I really go through that much information as the time flies past.
I have been to a few other schools dreading each lesson not knowing what to say, but at this school if you make a mistake no problem just try again. It must be the way they teach the language, the TMC methodology which reinforces way you learn the language.
T – Transformation method: Reversing sentence structure.
M – Muscle memory method: Repetition leads to accuracy.
C – Combination method: Creating meaningful paragraph.
I feel more confident in the language to be able to speak to local people outside the classroom
Thank you very much for your great review, Christopher.
