I'm going to Thailand for 3 months and I want to try to learn the language. I'll be staying in Chiang Mai.
I also am addicted to surfing the web and porn, and it contributes to my insomnia and general suckery. Unfortunately, my need to kick this habit takes priority over learning Thai.
How can I learn Thai without an internet connection? I have a solid 2 days left to download any listening I need onto an iPod and get all the books I need.
I am not really sure if you need an internet connection for rosetta stone... but that seems to be the way to go. Good luck with the porn addiction thing, may I suggest a nice ladyboy to curb your addiction?

Rosetta Stone Thai is absolutely terrible.
My suggestion is Thai-language. They have recordings and a couple lessons. Some are pretty OK, some are useless.

good to know, are there any other Rosetta Stones that aren't worth the time to pirate.....I mean purchase legally?

That's the thing -- I can't have an internet connection. If the site sells books and audio downloads I can use that though.
Can't vouch for their quality but you could try FSI's courses.
They're old so you may need to update some expressions, but they're all in the public domain so they're legally free (including the audio files).
You can easily find in sites or via torrent.
These are two sites where you can download the material.

When you get there go to Phyap University a sign up for their program.
