Thai language lessons

I had a wonderful experience at Lanna Language School, in both private and group lessons. I learned with several teachers who were all great. Highly recommend!

One-on-one lessons with Khru Few and Khru Mild have been great. The school is flexible with scheduling and the lessons are tailored to my interests and ability.

Lanna Language School feels like a family. Kru Tu and the other teachers are very kind, very supportive and organize great activities outside of Thai classes...i highly recommend this school!

Just completed 6 days of studying 4 hours a day. Wow - Khru Kik is the best teacher I've ever had! Full of energy, and so understanding of my level and my needs. I wish I had more time as I would definitely be happy continuing this course. I'll definitely be back! Thank you to Khru Kik and everyone at Lanna for an awesome 6 days 🙂

I’ve been attending Lanna for 6 months and have thoroughly enjoyed studying Thai here ◡̈ The teachers are friendly, and they create a stress-free and fun environment to learn Thai. Our teachers are also amazing baristas who offer a vast variety of drinks during break time. I always look forward to attending my classes each week!

Wonderful teachers and Course arrangement. I really improved a lot here. Plus: There are many drink options during the tea break. Love it💞

I am older and learn slowly, but the teachers are very patient with me. they create lessons that are challenging and appropriate for my ability! Highly recommend

I have taught English language for 50 years. Lanna Language school is the best language college of the three I have used in the past year in Chiang Mai, by far. The teaching is more student -centred than the other colleges I attended in the city. There are several experienced teachers who are familiar with the most up-to -date second language learning methods, including working in pairs and groups. The management is also more student-centred: students are treated 'personally' and made to feel welcome by management and all of the teachers. Relations between students and teachers are informal. Finally, teachers offer to make coffee during break-time for students: something I have never seen anywhere before in my teaching career which spans 50 years in many countries! I strongly recommend it.

Lanna Language School is in my opinion one of the best schools to learn Thai here in Chiangmai. Our family has been living in Chiangmai for 10 months. Prior to arriving, we had begun our study of Thai and knew we wanted to find a school that would give us the instruction we needed to become proficient at speaking, understanding, and even writing Thai. I researched several schools and tried a trial lesson via Zoom with Kru Tu. I was impressed at how well Kru was able to assess some of my strengths and weaknesses. I had already tried out several online Zoom lessons with other teachers and felt Kru Tu was a professional teacher who was going to give me the most learning for the time invested in learning. Once we arrived, we were impressed at the easy onboarding process of enrolling--they provide you with all the pertinent information without pressuring you to make a hasty decision. The location works for us since there is ample parking for both cars and motorcycles. We decided to take private classes with Kru Benz and we have enjoyed our lessons so much! Learning Thai has many challenges but Kru Benz has a wealth of knowledge because she graduated from CMU with a degree in Thai language and is truly what Thais describe as "greng jai"--thoughtful and willing to give herself to serve others. She speaks with us in simple Thai at a level that she has discerned we can understand, then explains in very clear English all of the instructions and lessons so we develop a fuller understanding of what we are learning. The lessons are prepared with exquisite care--the content is presented clearly, then we are usually given an opportunity to practice by speaking, sometimes writing, and then review. What really impresses me is that you never really know exactly how the lesson will be taught--Kru Benz mixes up the methods so we don't feel like the lessons are predictable nor boring. The "board game" activity is in some ways the most challenging lesson which requires us to remember some of our previous lessons, but it allows us the opportunity to dig into our brains to formulate answers. Even when I am having a brain-dead day, Kru Benz never makes us feel discouraged--she is willing to patiently review things we have learned so we can try to make the language a part of our everyday working memory. The classrooms are very clean and comfortably air-conditioned, and during the season when pollution can be an issue, i have seen an air purifier in every classroom. The break area is also air-conditioned, spacious, and even has a coffee / espresso machine and snacks. I have found that the teachers at LLS have a strong work ethic. With Kru Benz and other classes I have occasionally observed, i have never found one instance of the teacher simply "filling time" and checking her Facebook (which happens quite often at other schools and educational facilities). We recommended this school to two families and they are both very satisfied with their classes. An additional bonus that I was not expecting is that Kru Tu has an excellent handle on what is going on with the immigration offices. We even get updates via Kru Benz whenever the immigration office changes its requirements. My older son has depended on LLS for his education Visa, and we have had a smooth experience thanks to the LLS office despite the infamous challenges that Thailand Immigration office puts in front of foreigners. We compared the rates at LLS with other schools in the area and they are not the most inexpensive, but they are much more reasonable than CMU's Language Institute. If I have to go out of town, Kru Benz is willing to switch to a Zoom class to continue our lessons--this is important since our schedule does occasionally require us to learn on Zoom. I would highly recommend anyone wishing to learn Thai language to consider enrolling as a student at LLS.
