Thai for Advanced Readers
Thai for Advanced Learners fills a need that the author felt while teaching Thai to foreigners. Intermediate or fairly advanced students may know how to read Thai but not yet have the voacbulary to read a Thai newspaper or book without the tedium of constant dictionary lookups or the help of a tutor. A reader that presents new voacbulary and definitions and a pronunciation guide can be of tremendous help to students who want to progress from reading Thai tectbooks for foreigners to reading material written for native Thai speakers. Thai for Advanced Learners helps to bridge that gap. Each reading has a vocabulary list where new and difficult words are introduced with their pronunciations and definitions. Most of the words that are not explained in this book are covered in Thai for Beginners and Thai for Intermediate Learners.

Making Out in Thai
From the language of eating (a national pastime in Thailand) to affairs of the heart, here is all you need to know to speak in the colorful colloquial language that Thai people really speak when they are with their friends. Since phonetic pronunciations are given for the Thai, you can be speaking real Thai phrases like; Jee'ow! -right on, Kuhn tam ngam arai- what do you do, Suai jang Kun du dee Suai ngarm- you look beautiful, and many more. This book was written by John Clewey, a British writer who specializes in writing about non-western music. He has lived in Thailand since 1984 and the insights he has picked up are invaluable for the reader. Making Out in Thai is a glossy paperback that can fit in a jacket pocket or purse. It is good as either a phrasebook or as a tool for learning the idiomatic phrases that tend to be left out of textbooks.
