for me it worked perfectly and once an immigration officer comes by to take a photo of you, then you need to come to the school for taking a class, but that’s only once a year

I am really shocked that an online school would be approved by the government to qualify for giving education visa 🤷🏻‍♀️what is the cost and the time spent studying requirement from the school?

They also have regular classes, I think thats why they are qualified.

And it's Thailand, give enough money to the government and they will accept it.

I think it was 36k for a year.

I am currently studying at ALA, located in the same area as Duke. I planned to enroll at Duke last June, but they were fully booked and couldn’t accept new students until August. Both schools are good for studying the language, helping you with the necessary papers, and guiding you through immigration. I’m on the intermediate level — focusing on writing and reading. I can communicate with locals now, but sometimes I am afraid to speak continuously as some talk too fast, and I can't catch up. 😅

Duke Language School is one of the best in Bangkok, but only for serious learners. 3 hours per day, 5 days per week. You learn really fast though.

yes, I was on 3 hours and the last hour was a bit if a struggle to be honest. Doing 2 hours now and much better.

Rule of thumb: To make it worthwhile, for every lecture hour, a student must study two hours on his own. Two hours plus Two hours time two= Six hours a day. Five days a week. That’s still a lot !

@Randy *****

the rule of thumb is only for university level. We were learning elementary Thai. But I still put in 2 hours a night of work.
