Getting started with Thai means focusing on a few key skills in the right order.

• The Thai script: Reading the Thai alphabet from the start gives you direct access to authentic materials and correct pronunciation.
• Tones: Thai has five tones that change the meaning of words entirely, so practising them from day one is essential.
• Core vocabulary: Learning the most common words first means you can start simple conversations much sooner.
• Speaking practice: Using what you learn with a native speaker as early as possible cements pronunciation and builds real-world confidence.

One-to-one lessons allow you to focus on the areas that matter most to you, whether speaking, reading, or all four skills.

A private Thai lesson in Leicester costs approximately £15/h.

Several factors influence the price:

• The level of study (conversational, reading-focused, exam preparation)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
• The duration and frequency of lessons
• Where the sessions take place

Many tutors offer package discounts for booking multiple lessons.

Thai script is not as daunting as it looks — most learners can recognise the alphabet within a few weeks.

• The Thai alphabet: The script is phonetically consistent — once you know the symbols, reading becomes predictable.
• Consonant classes: Thai groups consonants into three classes (low, middle, high) that determine tone — understanding this system unlocks pronunciation logic.
• No spaces between words: Word boundaries become recognisable through exposure, especially when reading alongside audio.
• Typical learning timeline: Most learners can read basic Thai within four to eight weeks of consistent study.

One-to-one lessons let you progress through the alphabet at your own pace, without feeling rushed.
