Re: [ADVERTORIAL] Introducing The Learning Centre
James Higbie’s Essential Thai now available
This popular beginning level Thai language book has been out of print since the demise of the book division of Post Publishing (Bangkok Post) almost ten years ago.
The book has been reissued in its original A4 format and includes standard sized CDs for pronunciation.
Essential Thai is a complete learning package for those who want to acquire basic working skills in the Thai language, quickly and efficiently. Freshly updated and back by popular demand, Essential Thai includes a CD ROM with MP-3 audio files to introduce the student to Thai pronunciation and beginning phrases.
Focused completely on developing practical language skills, Essential Thai introduces conversation and grammar, commonly used vocabulary and how to read Thai script in a logical, graduated, manner.
Now available at The Learning Centre for Baht 895. Yes, a little pricy but have never heard a purchaser complaining as to its value. To order, email your contact details to: info@learningcentre.co.th Please put "Essential Thai" in the subject line.

Pleng, go to:Pleng wrote:Hi thanks for your offer but seeing as I am in the UK it's a fair distance to travel for a sample!
I have recently been in email contact with Donald getting information and while I am keen to be learning with you, the course times could be a little promblematic.

Which is a good place to start...
First or Second Floor
Perhaps in the wrong place but I am sure Mod will move if necessary.
We have facilities on both the ground floor and the next floor up in our building.
Problem is that people from some parts of the World will say that the next next floor up from the Ground Floor is the First Floor and others will say the Second Floor. Then then again, some will say that the Ground Floor is the the First Floor.
At present we advertise:
Sirada - The Learning Centre
Ground and Second Floor.
Wongchomsin Building
And some people will come along and say: "Don't you mean the First Floor
Or should we play it safe and say: Street Level and the Floor above Street level?
What is the consensus?

A little surprised that this topic was moved to this area. It really has nothing to do with Education.
Re: [ADVERTORIAL] Introducing The Learning Centre
On the contrary! It is our duty to educate our colonial and European friends that the level above the ground floor is correctly called the first floor!bapak wrote:A little surprised that this topic was moved to this area. It really has nothing to do with Education.

Re: First or Second Floor
That's OK if you've only got two floors - what do you call the next floor though?migrant wrote:Ground and next floor up

The Thais, to their eternal discredit, use the US system. If you seriously want opinions on this issue

Oh, and make sure the fire brigade know, just in case you get stuck on the 3rd (or 4th) floor...
This is the way

The UK & Europe do use 'ground & first floor', it's North Amercia that uses 'first & second floors', or have I misunderstood you!?Huahinian wrote:On the contrary! It is our duty to educate our colonial and European friends that the level above the ground floor is correctly called the first floor!
I'd say that if there is the mention of 'ground floor' then neither 'camp' would be confused about the floors, despite one camp considering the description to be wrongBapak wrote:What is the consensus?

Perhaps I should have used ground level instead of ground floor. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: [ADVERTORIAL] Introducing The Learning Centre
Actually, the Ground Floor gives us no problem. The problem is describing the next floor up from the Ground Floor. Perhaps the First Level above the Ground Floor,Super Joe wrote:The UK & Europe do use 'ground & first floor', it's North Amercia that uses 'first & second floors', or have I misunderstood you!?Huahinian wrote:On the contrary!
