Our programs

Classroom-led Thai lessons tailored to children aged 4–12

Our Thai language program develops everyday skills in conversation, reading, and writing through engaging, theme-based modules that highlight Thai culture. Designed to build confidence at every stage of learning, children learn to express themselves naturally alongside other children learning Thai.

๑

Thai Young Stars 4–6 years old

Thai conversation is introduced through story-telling, games, songs, and play. Across a 2-hour session, guided play gives young children plenty of time to hear and use Thai naturally. Children listen and repeat their way into greetings, colours, numbers, animals, family words, and short phrases.

Children are introduced to the Thai alphabet, recognising consonants and vowels by shape and sound and beginning to trace them. By the end of the year they have an ear for Thai tones and the confidence to use them out loud.

๒

Thai Juniors 7–9 years old

Children continue to advance spoken Thai through longer sentences. They learn consonant classes, vowel forms, and tone rules, then combine them to sound out and read words they have never seen before.

Writing progresses from single letters to words and sentences of their own. Every lesson introduces new settings for conversation: their day, their school, what they like, advancing speaking and reading together.

๓

Thai Explorers 10–12 years old

Children read and write connected text: short stories, messages, articles, and passages carrying new vocabulary. They learn to decode unfamiliar words from spelling and context on their own.

Writing becomes paragraphs, notes, and messages they can send to family or friends in Thailand. Conversation steps up to opinions, explanations, and longer exchanges.

Frequently asked questions

Does the trial lesson cost anything?

We charge a small trial fee to maintain our high class quality and small group sizes. This commitment-free trial lets you experience our Thai lessons before enrolling. We'll share more details via WhatsApp when arranging your session.

Can we enroll after the term has already started?

While we encourage starting at the beginning of the term to take advantage of our promotional rates, we are happy to accommodate mid-term enrollments on a case-by-case basis.

We are a mixed family. Is this for us?

Yes. Many of our families have one Thai parent, and our classes are built with multi-lingual home environments in mind.

My child has no Thai background at all. Can we still join?

Yes. Our classes are open to any child who wants to learn Thai, starting from absolute beginner.

Where exactly are the classes held?

Classes are co-located with our partner Linguabridge Language Centre on the 2nd floor of Balmoral Plaza, 271 Bukit Timah Road, Singapore 259708 — a 500 m walk from Newton MRT, with buses stopping in front and parking on site.

Why are classes 2 hours long?

Research on language learning consistently shows that the amount of exposure children get is one of the biggest drivers of progress. A longer session means more time listening, speaking, and practising in Thai each week, and gives us room to mix structured learning with guided games, songs, and play, which keeps children engaged throughout.

What ages do you teach?

We offer classes across three age groups: Thai Young Stars (ages 4–6), Thai Juniors (ages 7–9), and Thai Explorers (ages 10–12). Each group accommodates students from absolute beginners to more advanced learners. We place your child by skill level and age group where possible, and we make adjustments so they land in the class that fits them best.

How big are the classes?

Our maximum capacity is eight students, but we aim for an average of six children per class. Keeping groups small ensures every child receives personalized attention and plenty of time to practice speaking.
