RELAXED METHOD (GSR Files)


All repetitions and review are self-contained. This is for people who do not have time to use a
book, do dictation, or do recordings.

For best results, try to repeat as much as you can. Don't worry if you miss a sentence. Repeat
it when you start to feel comfortable with how it sounds. Always have at least one deep sleep
between each session, and no more than 2 sleep session between each recording. If you haven't
listened in a few days, back up a few lessons and start again.

Sample Routine
Day 1: Listen to GSR File called Day 1
Day 20: Listen to GSR File called Day 20... etc.

Fluency 1
This GMS Fluency Series accompanies the GMS recordings
and is a supplementary course assisting you on your path to
fluency. This course fills in the fluency training that is lacking
from other courses. Instead of advancing in the language via
grammar, GMS builds up sentences and lets students advance
via the full range of expression required to function in the
target language.

GMS recordings (sold separately) prepare the student through


translation and interpretation to become proficient in speaking
and listening.

Glossika Spaced Repetition (GSR) recordings are strongly


recommended for those who have trouble remembering the
content. Through the hundred days of GSR training, all the text
in each of our GMS publications can be mastered with ease.

Brett has spent the past decade living in Thailand and learning
as many languages as possible. He currently designs tools for
learning Thai and other languages. Among them are a web course
for mastering the Thai alphabet including its somewhat complex
tone rule system and mobile apps for both android and iOS.

For those who want to become fluent in Thai, Brett says “Put in
the time to learn the alphabet and tone rules of Thai. Knowing the
alphabet means you’ll never struggle with the sounds, you’ll know
how to say everything correctly and Thai people will just plain love
you. You can learn it all in a week or two and master it in a month.
Why wouldn't you?”

can be found on Google Play and Itunes.
