I'm still learning parts of Thai and Laos langauge from my wife and the many people I meet in the Isan region and throughout the rest of Thailand. This is probably the only real way of learning the langauge or at least the basic phrases for day to day shopping and getting around.
I usually note the sound of a word and enter it into my smartphone and later on practice the sound and leve a note beside it for it's meaning, here is a list of the Thai and Laos words I have gathered on my travels so far.
