The 6-Month Thai Language and Culture course focuses on introducing both Thai Language and Culture to international students. Students will study: speaking, listening, reading and writing throughout the program, through a series of carefully designed lectures, presentations and workshops. We estimated that by the end of the course students will be at a pre-intermediate level. 

Thai culture is an important aspect of language acquisition – for this reason the 6-Month Thai Language and Culture course aims to introduce Thai culture through both in class activities and field excursions. This may include activities such: Thai cooking, Muay Thai kickboxing, Thai music and dance, Buddhism, Thai history, Arts and films. Weekend activities and excursions will be organized on a monthly basis, however the fee will not be included in the overall program fees shown.
