About Ann: Thai Lessons That Actually Stick
Thai is hard. Not “I need more practice” hard — genuinely, objectively difficult.
If you’ve tried apps, videos, or classes and still feel stuck, you’re not alone.
Who This Is For
Thai is hard. The tones trip you up. The script looks like decorative squiggles.
You’ve tried apps, YouTube, maybe even paid for lessons — and you still can’t hear the difference between “near” and “far” without intense focus.
You’re not bad at languages. Thai is just unforgiving in ways Spanish and French aren’t.
If you’re tired of smiling and nodding while native speakers politely pretend to understand you, you’re in the right place.
How Lessons Actually Work
Speaking from day one
You’ll speak out loud immediately. Ann will correct your tones until they’re right. Not close. Right.
Tones are non-negotiable
Minimal pairs, repetition, ear training — until your mouth and brain cooperate.
Script that makes sense
Learned in chunks, not dumped all at once like a sadistic memory test.
Conversation-first grammar
Grammar appears when it’s useful, not as the main event.
Flexible structure
Lessons adapt to what you need — tones, reading, food, family conversations.
Who This Is (and Isn’t) For
This is for you if:
You’ll practice (even 10 minutes a day)
You want real corrections
You’re okay sounding awkward
You want Thai for real life
This isn’t for you if:
You want passive learning
You want a shortcut
You get defensive when corrected
You don’t want to be challenged
If this sounds like you, great.
Just know that progress comes from practice, correction, and repetition.
If that’s not what you’re looking for, no hard feelings — there are easier ways to feel like you’re learning Thai.
Common Struggles (That Are Completely Normal)
“I can’t hear the tones.”
“I feel embarrassed speaking.”
“The script is impossible.”
“Apps didn’t work for me.”
How Lessons Actually Work
Speaking from day one
You’ll speak out loud immediately. Even basic phrases get corrected so you build good habits early.
Tone training (yes, really)
Tones are drilled until your ears and mouth cooperate. Not rushed. Not skipped.
Thai script, taught logically
Learned in chunks that make sense — not all 44 consonants dumped on you at once.
Conversation-first approach
Grammar appears when it’s useful. Conversation is always the goal.
Flexible structure
Lessons adapt to what you need — tones, reading, real-life situations, or all three.
