From Thai Language Wiki

The first goal of the Thai Language Wiki project is to convert the FSI language course into text, add Thai language for all transliterations/phonetics script, and link in the sound files (FSI Thai is a high-quality language course in the public domain).

We are convinced that the result will be a language course that can augment, and might be even better than some (rather expensive) commercial products.

At this moment not many people are using this course for several reasons:

• Created on a typewriter, the layout is old fashioned.
• It contains no Thai script.
• Some dialogues are outdated.
• It is not being actively promoted.

The FSI Language course has several strong points:

• It uses a very systematic way of teaching.
• There are hundreds of exercises in the course.
• The course book is perfect for classroom use, but also for individual use.
• There is a lot of audio material available.

How do we work?

• Our working platform is a "wiki". This is a kind of web-site that can be edited by many people at the same time. You don't need to be a computer expert to use it.
• We might convert the information into other electronics formats, like PDF later.

What do you get from helping?

• The opportunity to practise your Thai.
• The opportunity to work with new technologies (wiki).
• The opportunity to give something to something back to the Thai learners community.
• A free high quality language course.
• Eternal fame!

Who can help?

• Anyone with a bit a free time and an interest in Thai language.
• You don't need to be able to type Thai. You can work on the English part.
• If you don't know how to use a wiki, you can use the templates we prepared for you.
