# Let's Speak English TV poster (Thai, Bangkok)

A Thai-language announcement of a television English-teaching series. A rounded television-screen shape holds the title 'Let's Speak English' with a small line figure of a man pointing a long stick at the letters. The text names the American Information Service as presenter, the host 'Dr. Chala', a start date and broadcast times, and says textbooks are sold in bookshops. The tell is testimonial: a named, titled host vouches for the programme.
