Learn Thai

How hard is it to learn Thai (if it is)?

How long does it take to learn just enough Thai to survive a week in Thailand? How about their writing system/symbols? Are they hard to learn too?

1. If you would like to visit Thailand for only one week and you will head tourist areas, then it is not that necessary to learn, people in tourist areas speak English quite well. It is not easy for you to learn, we have 44 alphabets, 24 vowels and 5 tones, for more information look the following. http://www.learningthai.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=29&Itemid=58
