Why Thai is different

Thai has five tones and no spaces between words, so learners rely on precise listening and pronunciation. NYC uses communicative and task-based approaches to build practical fluency instead of rote memorisation.

Cross-cultural training for executives

Foreign executives in Thailand encounter cultural gaps such as face-saving, indirect communication and 'kreng-jai'. Our workshops use real case studies from HR teams at Toyota, Unilever and Michelin to help leaders adapt their style.

Frequently asked questions

How long to speak Thai?

CEFR A2 (basic conversation) requires 80-120 hours; B1 (business conversation) 200-300 hours; C1 (academic fluency) 500+ hours.

Are teachers native speakers?

All teachers are native speakers with CELTA/DELTA credentials or a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics and at least 5 years of expat teaching experience.

Zoom or on-site — what's different?

Pricing is identical. Zoom is flexible and recorded; on-site drives higher interaction and suits Business Thai.

Do you deliver corporate training in provinces?

Yes, nationwide — provincial delivery bills for travel and accommodation.

Does the certificate support an ED visa?

Courses of 200+ hours can issue an Enrollment Letter for a Non-ED visa once attendance is met.
