We are now in the process of starting English classes for adults. The classes will take place in an air conditioned classroom at a convenient location in the town. Classes will be aimed at speaking with concise grammar and a clear accent. Class sizes will not exceed 8 students.
The courses will start as a 20 hour course. Classes will be held either 2 times or 3 times a week and will last 2 hours each.
The first course will start as soon as we have 6 students.
Course fees will be 3000 baht for a 20 hour course.
We have already received some interest from expats who would like their Thai partners to improve their communication skills. Please feel free to contact us if you require any further information or would like to register for a course.
Starting in the middle of May
Thai language courses for Expats.
This course will be taught by a native Thai speaker who has many years teaching experience. A current high workload, teaching Thai students to speak English, means that she will not be available for daytime classes until the new school term starts.
The courses will be run in the same way as the English courses above.
The course fees will be 3000 baht for 20 hours.
Please feel free to contact us.

I might be interested but I would pay ฿3000.- cash after the first lesson if I thought it was worthwhile. That's the way I did it back home and it seems very appropriate to me.

Good thought.
Might consider having a free class then have a collection for all who want to participate.

Keith, it will be money well spent for you.

Ray, that is why I responded. I really need to learn Thai. And I believe I can scrape up the 3000 baht, I could buy one case less of Magners (just bought last week).
However, if the teacher is crappy, as davu notes, it is best to check before paying. Having been an instructor, I personally would give a presentation to the students before I would try to get their hard earned money. Which davu smartly states.
And because I am an American, I would not be insulted to be challenged this way. Because when I taught, I believed I was the best and would back it up. As we yanks say, put up or shut up. If this instuctor is as good as they say, let them show it before we pay the baht.
But with a 1st class teacher getting through my thick skull on speaking Thai, 3000 baht is cheap cheap.

Goodluck with getting the Tones correct.. party4

Thank you all for your comments.
Our courses are structured to the requirements of our students. The basic information that was given on the opening post was just that. It was intended to explicit interest in our services. It was noted, at the end of the post, that it was possible to contact us. That was the intended medium of communication for further information as we have a myriad of different courses on offer and,probably, too numerous to list on here. It is our belief that open forums are not the best place to ask for specific, personal requirements.
We have many courses running at present. All of our students have expressed great satisfaction. Some students have taken the time to contact us beforehand and request extra information and ask some specific questions about how they could enhance certain skills.
Our students have been particularly pleased with the professionalism of our qualified native speaking teachers, the fact that class sizes are limited to only 8 students and also the fact that interaction in the classroom is a big part of the lesson plan. We do not wish for our students to just come along and sit and listen to a teacher without the chance to speak too.
We strongly believe that these are the reasons, and it is because of our efforts to bring a quality service to our students, that all of our courses have been fully booked and that our students have been happy to pay their tuition fees with in our payment guidelines.
If you would like further details please feel free to ask, by mail or PM. We will be happy to talk.

That is why we use qualified and experienced native speakers. Thai courses are taught by a Thai and our English courses are taught by native speaking English speakers.

Keith,
I was referring to you having ENGLISH lessons!
Then you may be better equipped to communicate with Nookie! thumbup thumbup

LOL, cute, However, it works out better not to communicate with nookiefly.
I have heard that Thailand perfers Americans as English Teachers because Britains have too many different accents.
-
Why would you want your child to be taught incorrectly???
English should be taught as English not American English with the different spellings or any other English taught out there..

Why can't the English speak English? Having supported the Brits in Iraq I learned that this vid from My Fair Lady is exactly correct.

We are planning to have an open day for prospective students.
This will enable everyone to meet the teacher and ask any questions prior to enrolling.
The planned date is 16th May.
If this is of interest then please let us know if you would like to attend, as we need to know the numbers.
Thank You.

I indicated my interest for the opening day.

Hee hee, the mail address Buriramlanguageservice@gmail.com doesn't work, I used the contact formula on their website. Maybe I will be told off and put in a corner again.

That is not our email address.
You need to add an "s" to service.

I knew it was my fault. It always is in Thailand. Even if I did copy it from your website. I haven't received an acknowledgement to my message of yesterday.
(paste): Please feel free to contact us at:
Buriramlanguageservice@gmail.com with your requirements. We will be happy to prepare a plan and fee specific to your requirements.
Doesn't look too good does it?

We are sorry to say that we really don't understand the need for sarcasm. We have read and replied every email that we have received. You mentioned that our email address was not working and we pointed out that you were using the wrong address. You said that you used the "contact us" facility. We have replied to every email that we have received. Have you had a reply?
You have now made another comment that suggested our contact details were incorrect, where in actual fact you were incorrect as you again missed off the final "s".
We would be grateful if you could let us know your email address so that we can confirm that we have received correspondence from you.
Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you.

Wow; rec'd a similarly toned response to my query; so . . . not my cup of tea. spot1

Your enquiry with regards to the age of the teachers. We gave you a very informative answer and fully explained our plans and vision. You slightly disagreed with our philosophy and we accepted that view.
We fully appreciate your views and are sorry that you feel unable to participate in our classes.
We have received many positive responses and will be proceeding with our plan for a Thai language course for expats. As we said before, we are sorry that you are unable to attend.
-
My post was not meant sarcastically. The above address that I COPY-/PASTE-d from YOUR website is incorrect. I didn't use the incorrect email address, you guys did.
And no, I didn't get a reply. That's why I say again, it doesn't look very good, does it? An apology for getting your website wrong would have been in order, but apparently you didn't even check the website, did you? It has been changed now, congrats.
-
There seems to be some confusion here.
As previously requested, please send us your email address (by PM function on here would be best) so that we can check any correspondence from you.
We have received many emails via our website and they have all received a reply. There appears to be a problem at your end, as if we had received an email form you then you would have received a reply by now.
The only explanation that we can think of is that your email was sent to our spam folder, which is automatically cleared every day. If that is the case then we would not have seen it.
-
See? It's my fault. Same as if I don't like your course. it will be my fault.
I did try, but no thanks.

I know you ask interested parties to send an e.mail but could you be so kind as to give me an idea where this open day would be taking place. Distance and location from Buriram town would be very helpful. Thank you in advance. thumbup

Thank you for your enquiry.
It has only just been decided where the first open day is taking place. We have had many enquiries and many of them have asked the same questions as you have.
We have several locations available for an open day. By asking perspective students their own location , which we do not wish to do on an open forum, we can decide which is most convenient for all.
We are sorry to inform you that the first open day is now fully subscribed. However, due to high levels of interest, there will be other open days and we will be pleased to let you know the date of the next one as soon as possible.
Thanks again.

Just to help those that appear to be confused, we would like to draw your attention to the above post.
We hope this clarifies the situation.

confused1 confused1 Doubly so. As the question was WHERE? not when?
As in where is Lord Lucan?
Where did Shergar disappear to?
Where is Genghis Khans final resting place?
Where is flight MH370?
\WHERE? not when?
P.s. Thank you for correspondence. A reply is not necessary.

Thank you for pointing that out Candy.
If you read the whole post you will see that there are many places where we can hold our open days. We cannot confirm a place until we have the locations of our students.
Please confirm where you are and we can then arrange to hold our next open day as near to where you are as possible.
We already have a few applicants for the next open day. Another couple and we can then arrange a place convenient for all.

I really don't get this. The three posts I have previously made have clearly all inquired about your location. You totally failed to give me an acceptable answer. Now you have the audacity to ask for my location. As stated. NO NEED TO REPLY. brick1
P.S. Keep up the good P.R. work.

As I said twice before, it doesn't look very good, does it? It will always be your fault, TIT after all and you DON'T challenge Thai school teachers. I am certainly not confused.
