About Me

I am a native Thai speaker from the southern part of Thailand, fluent in both Thai and English. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student in engineering in the US. As a lifelong language learner, I love learning languages to explore new cultures, people, and places. I am also learning Chinese (Mandarin), Spanish, and Vietnamese. I used to hate learning foreign languages until I moved to the US at the age of 18. After that, my passion for learning languages developed. Having observed different teaching methods from teachers, I will make the lessons more relevant to you. 你好,我叫Don。我的中文名字是【荘俊雄】。我的中文水平是中级。我很愿意帮你学泰语。 *Students must be at least 16 years old.

Don is a great teacher and extremely helpful. He explains the meaning of words and grammar in an easy and memorable way. He also tailors his classes to your needs, making lessons very effective. A great Thai teacher. I recommend you to book time with him!

If you're multilingual / a polyglot or hoping to be one, I highly recommend Don. Don has an understanding on tones across several Asian languages, an understanding of the history of languages in SE Asia, such as some of the Sanskrit origins etc. - if learning a language with the help of another language is your way of learning then I highly recommend Kru Don!

I love learning the Thai alphabet with Teacher Don. His explanations are super clear, and he introduces the letters in such a well-organized and easy-to-follow way. What makes the class even more fun is how he mixes in a little Thai during the lessons, so even beginners like me can start feeling the rhythm of the language. Plus, he speaks Chinese and understands the connections and differences between Thai and Chinese, which is a help for native Chinese speakers like me. I’ve had such a great time in his class, and I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to start learning Thai.

I really enjoy taking classes with the teacher. He explains the Thai alphabet very clearly, which has helped me a lot. Moreover, his passion for teaching Thai is truly inspiring. As someone who sometimes struggles with motivation, I find his energy and enthusiasm incredibly uplifting. His teaching and interactions always leave me feeling recharged and encouraged. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn Thai.
