Thai Roots Program

10 weeks • 1 lesson per week • 60 minutes per lesson • Small groups of approximately 6–8 children

Children growing up abroad often have very different experiences with Thai.

Some understand Thai but are not yet confident speaking. Some are beginning to read and write. Others already have a strong foundation and are ready to develop more advanced language skills.

The Thai Roots Program is designed to meet children at the level that is right for them.

We focus on meaningful language use rather than memorisation alone. Children learn through stories, games, conversation, and activities connected to real life.

We also believe confidence comes before perfection. Children are encouraged to use Thai without pressure, and mistakes are treated as a natural part of learning.

Across the 10 weeks, children explore Thai through familiar and meaningful themes such as:

• Me and My Thai

• My Family

• My Daily Life

• Food and Thai Flavours

• Home and Places

• Friends and Feelings

• Thai Culture and Manners

• Stories and Imagination

• My Thai World

• Celebrate and Show What You Know

Each week connects to the next, creating one continuous learning journey throughout the program.

For children who already have a stronger foundation in Thai and are ready to go further.

Lessons include richer vocabulary, reading comprehension, storytelling, writing, discussion, expressing ideas, and deeper cultural understanding.

Learn in person in a small-group setting through conversation, games, hands-on activities, and face-to-face interaction.

Learning continues throughout the week. 

Throughout the program, children learn through:

Stories • Songs • Games • Conversation • Activities • Real-Life Thai

Nong Chang joins the children as their learning friend, guiding them through stories, games, challenges, and Thai language adventures along the way.

The program is suitable for children who:

• Are completely new to Thai and are just beginning their Thai language journey

Let Thai be more than just a subject.

Let it become a language children can use with family, a way to understand their story, and a connection they can carry with them wherever they grow.
