Query: Better than a phrase book...

This course is certainly better than a phrase book. I like the dialogs and that they teach you the grammar.However, they use their own way of transliterating Thai into the roman alphabet, which makes it utterly confusing when you try to look something up in a dictionary. "j" is written as "ch", "ch" is "sh", etc.Furthermore, the transliteration is skimping on the tone marks. Tone marks appear in the glossary but not in the dialoges. Although each chapter has a section where they teach you Thai script, they don't show the Thai spelling of the words that are used in the dialoges.In my opinion, "Teach yourself Thai" is a better course than this one.
