In depth: Our Thai Courses for Business in Glasgow
Thai Teaching Approach & Experience
Thai Teaching Approach & ExperiencePrivate individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Thai Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Thai speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience. Our Thai teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Thai teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Thai lessons start.
Modern language teaching is now approached much differently to how you might remember learning languages in school. The experience is now much more fun and rewarding. The Communicative Approach, where your Thai teacher will conduct your lessons almost entirely in Thai means that progress is made from your very first lesson. Soon, you will have such confidence that using Thai in a social or business setting will be no problem.
1:1 and Group Thai Courses in Glasgow
Our Thai courses are usually offered by our clients as 1:1 training for their employees. Group sessions, however, are also available and can be excellent value for money. Planning is required so that participants all meet at the same time each week, and we recommend that numbers are kept to 6 or less. 1:1 Thai lessons at Glasgow mean that you will have your individual needs, weaknesses and strengths catered for, so that your progress is quicker.
Thai Course Management
A multi-lingual Account Manager with extensive experience is responsible for each SIMON & SIMON Thai language course. A profile on your trainer, Course Plan and course materials will be sent to you when you start your Thai course. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will also send you Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter, which contains a wonderful prize draw and valuable language learning resource weblinks.

About Thai
Thai is the national and official language of Thailand and the native language of the Thai people, Thailand’s dominant ethnic group. Thai is a member of the Tai group of the Tai-Kadai language family. Historical linguists have been unable to definitively link the Tai-Kadai languages to any other language family. Some words in Thai are borrowed from Pali, Sanskrit and Old Khmer. It is a tonal and analytic language. Thai also has a complex orthography and relational markers. Thai is mutually intelligible with Lao, whereas the Isaan dialect is almost the same as Lao.

Assess Your Thai Level
The table below is based on recognised language levels used by various academic institutions across the European Union. A highly motivated student attending weekly sessions with their Thai language trainer in Glasgow can expect to move from one level to another after 50 hours providing they also commit to a similar number of hours of self-study.
Of course, some people find learning languages easier than others, and some students will have more opportunities to practise Thai in the course of their work and leisure, so these factors also need to be considered when trying to assess how long it will take to move from one level to another.
