Great app
This app is a great app to learn AND LISTEN to native Thai speakers. The words they teach may seem silly at first but it builds on lessons. I especially appreciate the grammar lesson of gives so that you can understand sentence structure. The fact that the translation quizzes are native Thai speakers really helped me pronounce and understand the language. Seriously the best app to learn Thai. I’ve downloaded every single Thai learning app and this one wins by a mile!

Like it very much, but...
I really like this app and have completed the lessons maybe a dozen times, picking up something new each time. There are, however, lots of mistranslations. Also the vocabulary sometimes differs from what Thai people actually use.
Great App!!!
This is a wonderful app. I have had it for years, and can say it has measurably helped me with my Thai language. The absence of English and emphasis on emersion are an important aspect. I can't tell you how much help the support team has been - especially Melanie at Smart Language Apps - in recovering the app that was accidentally deleted.

Thai future is not truely represented here for $20
Not a real value for money. At $20, This app is not specialized for learning Thai to be use in Thailand. Money unit are all in euro. Only repeatedly use words for man and women and male female child. Not representing enough of Thai culture. Made by someone in europe without deep understanding of Thai culture.

One major benefit and many flaws
The great thing about this app is how it helps you learn words by giving enjoyable exercises enabling you to practice using several different approaches and repetition. This is very effective.
The bad things:
1. Many words are formal and not those used in everyday speech.
2. Many words are not explained at all.
3. The grammar explanations are far from enough for you to understand the logic in many sentences.
4. Many words are not among the, say, 4000 words you would need the most.
5. Many sentences are way too long and complicated for beginners.
6. Several more flaws
If you can already speak basic thai, this app can be a great help. For beginners this app is better avoided as it will make your learning journey unnecessary hard, you will learn mechanically without understanding, and you will have to de- and re-learn quite a lot later on.
