Hi, I go to Thailand about 4 times a year. I will be there in June.I have been teaching University for 3 years in South Korea; a women's university. Anyway, I am always impressed at how quickly the Thais seem to pick up on the language. I think those working in the tourist industry learn fast because they constantly hear it and are challenged to use it.

I would get some relia. Perhaps go to a salon and take pictures of stuff and use it as part of your lesson. Teach them what they need to know for their
prospective trades and the conversational bits they will pick up and develop. Can discuss more with you over a beer. Will be there June 4th
