It's not that easy; I guess most of us were beginners in English years ago, often in the pre-Internet era :), and used materials targeted at children or teenagers, or published in the respective native language. Anyway, I have no idea about Australian resources (and mixing them with British and/or American ones might not be the smartest idea) but you could have a look at: BBC Learning English - quite many audio courses and other materials, but most of them are probably way past the beginner level. Voice of America - Learning English - there are some materials for total beginners, and quite a lot of interesting audio/videos, recorded in slow and clear English. Muzzy in Gondoland - a series of animated movies for EFL learners, sometimes hilarious, very popular sometime around 1995 in my country and has kinda of a cult status in my generation ;). You will find the videos on YouTube. English Extr@ - a sitcom for EFL learners. I watched the French edition and found it really good - you can enjoy the plot, jokes etc. even if you are a complete beginner. I hope I have helped you at least a bit. Generally, I would suggest finding Thai speakers who have learned English - they might recommend some great Thai-based learning resources. A simple searc on the Thai-language Internet might also help a great deal - even if you don't speak the language, you could have a look at whatever your friend would find and help her to make a good choice. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Your friend might be interested in the Home Tutor scheme which operates in some areas of Australia. She
would be matched with a volunteer who meets with her for conversation practice. The volunteers have some training and are usually really kind people who want to help newcomers find their way around the community. She could end up with an actual person she knows as well! 1 person has voted this message useful |
