Q&A - Questions about English courses and schools in Thailand

What would be the best type of course to chose for a Beginner student in English?
“If you are a beginner, to start with the basic an English group class should be the best. These classes are open to everyone and covering a bit of everything: speaking, grammar, vocabulary, reading & listening skills... They are a good choice for students in the lower levels who are still working on establishing a solid linguistic foundation and also for people who want a good, all-round course but who want to have some freedom too.
