Easy Thai : learn to speak Thai quickly!

Jintana Rattanakhemakorn, 1972-2015
Book
"Easy Thai targets beginning students and anyone who needs a functional day-to-day grasp of colloquial Thai quickly. The 12 chapters cover practically useful conversation topics such as introductions, telling the time, directions, ordering food and shopping. Each chapter opens with a dialogue that introduces new language in context, followed by vocabulary lists, grammar notes, sentence patterns, exercises, and notes on culture and etiquette. All dialogues, vocabulary lists, and sentence patterns are rendered in Thai script, romanized Thai, and English. A comprehensive but concise introduction to the book gives guidance on pronunciation and on the Thai reading and writing system. A bilingual dictionary at the end of the book gives translations for approximately 1,000 common words in both Thai and English. An audio disc gives sample conversations by Thai native speakers, enabling the reader to practice authentic pronunciation. This book ." --Publisher description.
