♟ 好高興認識你,我叫Brad,音樂人,是個香港土生土長的泰國人,畢業於香港大學,主修化學及音樂,後來到西班牙進修電影音樂作曲碩士。畢業後回到泰國,進入第五年,工作環繞音樂作曲、制作及語言教學。自小學習泰文、中文、英文及普通話;現在正學習法文。不時會作各種語文的語譯。喜愛科學、熱愛音樂、思想離不開人性與神學。
♟ Nice to meet you, I'm Brad, a musician, a Thai raised in Hong Kong. After graduating from HKU major in Chemistry and Music, I continued my film scoring study in Valencia, Spain. Currently I'm living in Thailand, working as a music composer and language teacher. Since my childhood, I have been learning Thai, Cantonese, English and Mandarin. And now, time for French! Sometimes I also participate in translation and interpretation works. Science and music are my passions; while humanity and theology are my power fuels.
Ich als Lehrkraft
💬 Cantonese
If you aim at conversational Cantonese, let’s work together with the help of the Jyutping system. No worries if this sounds less, as dealing with six Cantonese tones would be fun and crazy enough at the moment!
But if you are also interested in learning traditional Chinese characters, let's take this further step! Chinese characters are the spirit of the language - you look at them, you feel the language.
💬 Thai
While Thai scripts are somehow pictographic, they are either consonants, vowels or tone marks. This is important - it means once you understand them and know the rules, you can read almost 90% of Thai words!
Surely it takes time, but it's totally worth it!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
♜ Tailor-made Learning Note Book
Our brains love information grouped instead of scattered. Whether they are topics, the film and podcast voices, or our conversation itself which lead us to new words and phrases, they all matter. They will all be stored on your very own individualised google sheet / google doc / anki flashcards.
♜ Revision
Constant exposure, whether intense or loose, is the key to learning a language. We don't only understand a certain phrase structure - we need to make them part of us. Thus, we will revise together, from time to time, step-wisely, habitually, and efficiently. Our progress will be closely logged - and let our own progress fuels our future progression!
Brad is a very patient teacher, who engages his students with conversation and vocabulary building. he uses supportive teaching techniques and technology. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you Brad.

I've been taking classes with Brad for over a year and he has helped me make great progress with my Cantonese. The lessons are perfectly tailor-made to my needs. Brad regularly introduces new learning methods for me to try out. It never gets repetitive. At the same time, he brings structure and continuity into my language journey, which I really need. He is patient and attentive, correcting mistakes and making suggestions how to improve. Also, he brings a lot of joy, passion and knowledge into the lessons. We have great conversations and I always learn a lot from him.

Brad is the best language teacher I have ever had. He is dedicated and smart. He can improvise listening and speaking exercises suitable for my level on the spot. He is also very good at tailoring materials for my needs. I highly recommend Brad as a Thai language teacher.

Apart from learning conversational Thai, there are some specific Thai passages that I would like to learn and translate into Chinese. Brad did some extra preparation for these passages before class. I really appreciate his effort and dedication as a teacher.
