Summary: Pimsleur Thai is great but ...
Comment: I've used the Pimsleur courses with great success in a variety of different languages. I'm a fan of the method - no rewind; proper pronuciation; yada yada - rules in the car. But the Thai course is 1) far too short and 2) why no CD option. It seems that the publishers are short sighted by not improving the Pimsleur product and marketing it more aggresively. This product is great for a quick knowledge of some basic Thai, a difficult tonal language. Perfect for vacation speak. But if you want to learn the language this offering is too light. No excuse for the lack of CDs.
Rating: 5
Summary: Quality Repetition; No Need Constant Rewinding
Comment: Thailand has much to offer both as a vacation wonderland for men and as a terrific place to retire. Pimsleur is the only language program one does not have to constantly rewind to actually learn the language. I agree with an earlier reviewer that more tapes in this series are needed, however, by learning the very basics of Thai here, one can use other Thai programs without rewinding them (such as Berlitz) every 2-3 minutes.
Rating: 5
Summary: Limited, but Extremely Good
Comment: It IS extremely frustrating that the Pimsleur Thai course only lasts 4 hours total. It's certainly repetitive, but it works very well: your vocabulary will not be large, but (and this is key with a complex, tonal language like Thai) your pronunciation will be clear, and Thai natives can understand you. I think that this is the best Thai course out there.
Come on, Pimsleur! Give us some more!
