    Thai For Beginners - Becker

    This software does not run on my Windows 7 machines. Any suggestions for making it work on them, please ?

    Looking again at the link i gave you on amazon, it shows this was released Sept 2004, and how long has Windows 7 been out?

    Try an a machine that supports something around 2004.

    If it works on previous versions of windows, try installing/running in compatibility mode. Might not work but worth a try.

    The link is to an audio book, it seems you really need to get the paperback as well as the CD (at least to learn to read Thai)

    Download Daemon Lite and run the program/disc on a virtual drive.
    Very easy and self explanatory software,
    Download DAEMON Tools Lite 4.45.4 - FileHippo.com

    I admire your optimism but wouldn't you do better concentrating on mastering English for beginners first ?

    Hi, is this 2004 book useful? Or did anyone try some other ebooks I could use to learn Thai? Like, for absolute beginner adults.

    Definitely.

    I used the Becker book and I think it is the best foreign language learning book ever.

    I learned a lot from the beginner, and purchased the intermediate and advanced (not going into the latter because I left Thailand).
