the_numbers Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 That's it - screw college. I can pay 6000B and go to language school with J-Girls. :hubba: OH has the right idea, but throw some of that lottery cash over here. I'll even pretend I don't speak Thai that well.. Sorry did I mention that I have a thing for J-Girls.. I met this half-J-girl half farang in the cineplex, awhile back that was stunning The rest of the story is just as good..

chilli13 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Anyone got experiences with the AUA program on a beginners level say level 1, 2-3 hours a day? I understand they run a bit unusual listen only model in the beginning & other 'high tech' methods? Any hot j-birds or even tgs or other birds spotted there??? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul101 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Never heard any good opinions of this listen only place, several have said they left before the end. An update on prices: stl on asoke charges 12960 for 30 hours outcall, somchart (or somshit) 11800 both for 30 hours. You can get 40 hours for 10500 though if you don't go through a school.

khunsanuk Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hi, "somchart (or somshit)" Do you think you could give it a rest? Your complaining about this place is getting really annoying. If I was as tenacious as you are, you would not be posting here. Maybe something to keep in mind. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul101 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Opps sorry, but i seem to recall you being a bit tenacious yourself over losing just 500 baht at AUA, some of these places just don't care as soon as they have your cash.

khunsanuk Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hi, I bitched about that place once, not at every opportunity that presents itself. Slight difference, don' t you think? Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunmi Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I also went to Unity. I did Mod 1-3 then took a break for 4 months, did Mod 4 but haven't been back to finish yet. The 3-4 hours a day depending on morning or afternoon is as much as you need especially once you start mod 3 and have homework. You can end up getting headaches. I found the staff vey approachable when asking ?'s. But you do need to take a break and do something else. A very good idea before starting would be to get books and learn writing the thai alphabet. You would find it much easier. Cheers Khunmi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Ok I went & took the free test class at AUA with their so called unique listening only system & 2 teachers rambling about. Nice enough & entertaining style, but my main worry is will it really work if investing the massive amount of hours(800) even they're less than 100bt/h? Or would I be better off trying to learn to read instead or follow the Union or other recommended (traditional) schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummigut Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I think it is well worth it. BUT... You have to be religious about going. Especially in the beginning. At least 4 days a week, several hours per day. Ideally 5 or 6 days a week. A lot of people trash the method (and I'm sure some will speak up here). But most of the people who come here to Thailand don't have the diligence to stick it out. It's a very natural way to learn it and you can meet some pretty nice people! Also, the hours never expire and they have classes that you can attend virtually all the time. <<burp>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul101 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 You'd be better off with my mrs, so to speak. A school I recently saw looks good near chit lom station and includes the lady's paintings in an art gallery, don't know how much she charges. I'll post her website when I can find it. If I may mention somchart one more time, I hear things are going downhill and the teachers were not paid their yearly bonuses this year. http://www.artofjim9.com/about.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
