| Publisher Description: For the new arrival to Thailand, nothing seems more impenetrable than the local language. Phrasebooks abound, but how does one begin to master the unique sounds of the language? Let's Speak Thai is a phrasebook and dictionary with a difference. In addition to tackling all of the needed topics from greetings to shopping, food, drink, accommodation and transport, each copy includes download access to MP3 audio files containing over 20 minutes of carefully structured pronunciation lessons, presented by the author, together with native speakers. Featuring in addition an explanation of basic grammatical structures, all words and phrases in English, phonetic & Thai script and a 140 page dictionary, this is the only tool that the visitor will require to start communicating in Thailand. |
