Quote: 1. Important: Get totally familiar with the sound by massive passive listening! (Passive listening = listening very softly as much as possible, best for hours on end, creating a "in-the-country-surround-sound" for the subconscious.) The more familiar we are with the sounds the easier it gets.
i copied this from an old post about language learning - i am learning thai and since reading this i have been listening to thai radio (through satellite) in the background and also thai children speaking (they are so funny they can reach such high tones) on my ipod.
just double checking this is what you mean as this is 100% thai and not the language learning program i have (pimsleurs thai) which is thai/english speech.
It means 100% in the native language. Find a soap with a continuing story. They repeat themes in a different way and are a little easier to follow than straight news stories.
