Agree with these guys above. I only did a trial but I was impressed with Duke. I will return once proper classroom lessons resume with no more chance of interruption. I hate online learning. I want the real thing. I'm on retirement visa so I don't have to fart around getting an ED visa
I am attending ALA. It's in the trendy building Soi sukhumvit 13.
Class right now are online because of covid of course.
I am pleased with them. It's 2 hour classes Monday to Friday. And they typically have 2 class times to join. If you doing like an Ed visa package it's also unlimited so you can join extra class and repeat.
They use custom text books. It does move pretty fast, so to stay on top of vocabulary you definitely need some study time outside of class. The first 10 weeks focus on speaking, then 12 weeks on reading/writing, then they move to more advanced class I don't even understand yet.
You can ask to do a trial class to see what it is like before you enroll if you want.
Everyone recommends Duke, I did check them out too. They seem a little too intense for me. I wanted a bit more flexibility.
