Learn Thai | Textbooks vs. Reality (How big is the difference?)

How big is the difference between learning Thai language from books and real world? Learning a language is a difficult task and textbooks are incredible resources to use. If you bought a textbook for beginners, it will start with the basics, teaching how to read, pronounce and then start digging in typical basic knowledge of the language. Thai language is better learned by doing. (Practice makes perfect!) Jumping right into the conversation with your Thai friends will give you more ideas how things work!
