Features
Progressive lessons
Rather than trying to memorize endless phrases, you'll start with the fundamental building block of Lao. The flow of our lessons gradually builds upon previous lessons, so there are a lot of repetitions for learning.
real-world lao
All languages evolve due to globalization and cultural interactions -- Lao is no different. Lessons include both informal and formal Lao usages, pronunciation tips, and Lao language pitfalls for English speakers.
Lao Vocabulary List with AUdio
We have a list of common words/phrases (English-Lao translation) spoken by native speakers from Laos. In addition, there's a built-in audio player, so you can listen to the words (as many times as you want).
Worksheets and Guides
We have printable worksheets, online quizzes, Lao/English dialogues/transcripts, and more that are not found in our 'Free Lao Lessons' section.
