If you've just started learning Thai, or would like to get started but aren't sure where best to begin, then we recommend using the steps below as a roadmap on your journey to learning Thai. Learning a new language, especially one that is very different from one's own native tongue, can seem overwhelming at times, so we recommend practising daily, little and often. Be patient with yourself but keep up the daily practice and gradually build the momentum. We recommend an initial goal of 50 flashcards per day.
