The best way to learn is learn how to read. As daunting as that may seem. It helps with tone and pronunciation. Hard at first but doable โชคดี

It's daunting to learn a tonal language...I gave up quickly. You really need to have the aptitude and patience and spend a lot of time. This is coming from someone who can speak several languages.. But all learned at a very young age.

If you really want to learn Thai, check out Duke. It's really highly recommended, and having sat in a trial class recently I understand why. The students achieve a very high level after only a few courses. It's 8k baht for for 20 days / 60 hrs course/unit.
