Finally learn to read Lao

For those ready to stop relying on romanisation and understand how Lao actually works.

"I was fluent when I was a kid, but I lost it due to not practicing in the country I grew up in. Lao English School provided real structure and support to learn the language. They made it easier; the lessons are fun and practical, and the self-paced reading/writing course is very well-made and thoughtfully designed. I truly enjoyed studying Lao this way. I finally see progress."

Understand how Lao actually works

Start reading from absolute zero
No experience needed. I build everything up step by step, so by the end you'll be reading words you've been hearing your whole life.
No more guessing the tone
The Lao script tells you exactly which tone to use. Once you can read it, you'll never second-guess your pronunciation again. I've put together a tone map so you always have something to refer back to.
The next step once you can speak Lao
You'll be able to read your cousins' Facebook posts and write back to your aunties and family in actual Lao script.

Ginie is the best Lao teacher I could ever imagine having! She is very patient and she is taking me methodically through the syllabus. She has the perfect blend of recapping and adding in new material. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn this beautiful language.

Short quizzes at the end of each module to check you're keeping up before moving on, so you always feel confident going into the next lesson.
Unlimited support from Ginie
Never get stuck between lessons. Skip the uncertainty of Googling and get direct help from me on all your Lao questions, whenever you need it.
3 months access to the LES Community
Learning a language is so much easier when you're surrounded by people on the same journey. You'll find that here, with resources to keep practising between lessons and so much more.

Lao English School provided me a safe and structured environment to learn Lao from the ground up. After a year of taking lessons and interacting with the LES community, I've developed enough confidence in my Lao to start practicing with my family again.

"I always wanted to learn the Lao script but didn't know where to start. This course gave me the structure I needed. The lessons are clear, well-paced, and by the end I could finally read words I had seen my whole life but never understood. It's one of the best investments I've made in my language journey."

Meet your teacher Ginie

I started teaching Lao, English and French at 18 because I've always believed languages bring people closer together. I've put everything into creating this course, testing, refining and perfecting every lesson so you get the clearest path to reading Lao. The tone map and cheat sheet you'll get with this course are tools I still use myself when I'm teaching. I know the script can feel overwhelming at first, but I promise, if you follow the lessons step by step, it all comes together! I can't wait to see you progress.
