It is the official language of Thailand, the 50th largest country in the world, almost equal in size to Spain. More than 92% of the Thai population speaks Thai.
It is used when dealing with Thailand through import/ export businesses, missionary work, aid workers for international organisations, tourism, investors, foreign embassies and other areas of diplomatic exchange. The Thai language is closely related to Lao, and northern dialects of Thai are mutually intelligible with Lao, particularly the Lao spoken in northern Thailand.
The Thai vocabulary includes many words from Pali, Sanskrit and Old Khmer. Like Chinese and Vietnamese, it is a tonal language meaning that the same word can have a completely different meaning depending on how it is pronounced. In total, there are 5 tones: Mid tone, high tone, low tone, rising tone and falling tone.
For example, the Thai word mai, can have many meanings including “wood”, “not”, “silk”, “burn”, and “new” depending on what tone is used to pronounce it.
Who We Are
The School of Languages is a government school which specialises in languages education. Since its establishment in 1986, this unique South Australian school has supported thousands of students to pursue their interest in languages learning and to experience the joy of embracing another culture.
The school was initially founded as a secondary school for students from all three sectors. In 2000 the school introduced its first classes for students from Reception to Year 7. Since then our primary classes have continued to grow in popularity and demand.
Our Mission
The School of Languages aims to enhance access, choice and continuity in language learning for South Australian learners, through the provision of quality programs in a broad range of languages R-12, that complement and supplement languages programs offered in mainstream schools and ethnic schools.
Our Values
Our Unique Context
Students from Government, Catholic and Independent schools come together after school hours to learn the language of their choice, which is not available in their home school. Lessons are held once a week in a friendly environment of committed professionals and motivated students. This provides for a sustained focus and time for extending students’ learning through a wide range of activities.
Teaching Centres
Our classes are held in schools across Adelaide, with Adelaide High School being the largest centre. Approximately 25 other teaching centres offer a variety of languages at various year levels, in response to local demand.
We give special acknowledgement and appreciation to the many schools across Adelaide that host our programs, thus enabling students and their families to benefit from learning a language.
