Assimil’s grammar notes are brief but essential. They explain why a sentence is structured a certain way without getting bogged down in linguistic jargon.

The Assimil Thai course uses a unique approach to language learning, focusing on:

Buy the official Thai with Ease e-book + audio from Assimil’s website or a reputable retailer. Open Lesson 1. Listen. Look at the PDF. Say “สวัสดี” (sà-wàt-dii) – and trust the process.

Thai is a tonal language with five distinct tones. The audio recordings by native speakers are critical for mastering these nuances.
