Well probably not a day but that's what the books called.
I saw an advert for a seminar that was held this past weekend at the Boulevard Amari Hotel, which was advertised as learning to read Thai in a weekend using advanced learning techniques / picture recognition, that kind of thing. I had to work all weekend so couldn't make it, but a quick google search found their website.
Rapid Language Learning
They're not claiming that you'll understand what your reading just that you'll be able to read it and use that as a base to improve you language skills.
Its kind of a lazy bastard technique which is perfect for me and also I already had a bet on with a mate that I'll be able to learn to read before him and the cut of deadline is Nov 11th 09. So hopefully he wont read this thread.
On the site is a free trial Ebook which I downloaded and worked through this morning. It took about an hour and I was picking up and being able to work out what words said by the end of it.
When you get to the end of the first section the rest of the ebook is locked and you need to pay 2,000bt to get a pin to unlock it if you think the books any good.
Has anyone else here learned from this book? I've pretty much decided already that I'm going to buy it, just wondering if anyone else already has.
P.s, Its a windows based ebook but mac users can install Crossover and then you can open it.
