Why choose Mind Your Language Thailand?

8 months student visa, thai language

Learning Thai helped me stay in the country longer and better understand the local culture. The Thai language is different from English and this only added to the interest. It was very interesting not only to study the standard program, aimed mainly at tourists, but also to ask questions about those things that interested me and that I use in my non-tourist life. I had two teachers: Mai and Jom. Each of them taught the language differently, but they both did a good job. Thank them very much for this experience.

What was your funniest moment?
I asked how to say "I'm watching you" in Thai because I joke like that sometimes. For example, with the Thai worker who repairs my bike :D The teacher thought for a long time what I meant, but then he understood and laughed :) The answer was “Pom duu khun yuu”.

The Language Cottage

Chiara taught my children online for around 2 years, and has been amazing throughout. My children are English/ Italian bilingual, but we live overseas where they have limited opportunities to speak Italian outside the home. They were 8 and 3 when they started classes. Chiara tailored her classes to their ages and interests, made the classes interesting and fun, and really understands how to use the online medium to the best advantage. Even when my daughter was tired from school she would come out of the classes cheerful and lively, having enjoyed the lesson. Her Italian progressed enormously and she is completely comfortable reading, writing and speaking Italian in a way that would not have been possible without Chiara. What I appreciate the most is that she understands bilingual children have different language learning challenges and needs than an adult learning a foreign language, so she is able to tailor her classes accordingly. Now we are moving into an Italian speaking environment and I am confident that my children will cope. Thank you Chiara!

Pros
  • Tailored classes for bilingual children
  • Excellent use of online medium
  • Fun and interesting
Cons
  • She's very busy - can't really be flexible on timings

Online Italian Course

Chiara is amazing! She has endless energy and keep the classes fun so both my kids look forward to them…and so they are learning a lot.

For my 6 year old daughter - the lessons are really fun, interactive and topic based (eg. Restaurant, Christmas etc.).

For my 13 year old - the lessons focus more on grammar (she is getting him ready to take Italian iGCSE) but Chiara builds in as much interactivity as possible - and even manages to make grammar not boring!!

I can’t thank Chiara enough - without her my kids would not speak as much Italian.

Chiara è fantastica! Riesce a rendere le lezioni divertenti e così i miei due figli ci vanno volentieri e stanno imparando un sacco.

Chiara - grazie di cuore per tutto!! ❤️

Pros
  • Teaching in a fun way
  • Chiara has lots of energy
  • Great structure to the learning curriculum

Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Chiara's Italian lessons! Her material is always interesting and practical, which makes learning grammar much more fun. During our conversations, she always listens patiently and only makes corrections when it is necessary. At the end of every lesson, she sends all the material that we have covered in that class. Even though our lessons are online, I can feel her energy, enthusiasm and passion through the screen. Above all, she is kind and lovely teacher and I'll definitely keep on taking lessons with her.

Pros
  • engaging material
  • enthusiastic and patient teacher

The Language Cottage

Consiglio vivamente le lezioni con la Maestra Chiara.
Mia figlia di 7 anni frequenta assiduamente da più di un anno ed ogni volta è entusiasta di partecipare.
Chiara, con la sua competenza, riesce a preparare delle lezioni che divertono i bambini ed al contempo fa loro apprendere la lingua.
Mia figlia frequenta il corso on line con altre 3-4 bambine della sua età; non è facile mantenere viva la loro attenzione per un’ora ma la lezione passa velocemente, imparando parole nuove e frasi di senso compiuto attraverso un gioco, con una canzone o con una storiella di volta in volta diversa.

Pros
  • Engaging
  • Effective
  • Fun
