Now that I have a decent grasp of the Thai language I'm looking to learn Lao, which is very similar.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend some materials to me that would take advantage of my knowledge of Thai, or anything at all really. Thank you in advance 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I've not found any Thai-to-Lao materials. If your Thai is pretty good, doing a simple
course like the SEA one should be enough to learn the common uniquely Lao words, after which you can move on to native materials. The two languages are very close, especially if your exposure to Thai is via Isaan natives. However, the dialects of Lao differ quite a lot and standard Lao isn't as widespread and universal as standard Thai. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thank you everyone, I wish I would have known about the SEA site when I started studying Thai.
I just got back from a year abroad in Thailand so my Thai is decent, but all my friends from the area here in the States are actually Lao, so I'm hoping just hanging out with them will get me up to speed, but I'd also like to do some personal study. Thanks again :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Have you thought about FSI?
