## What is NidNoi?

NidNoi helps you learn Thai, Mandarin Chinese, or Japanese a little every day.

“Nid Noi” (นิดหน่อย) means “a little” in Thai — and that’s the idea: short, clear lessons that build real confidence over time. Pick a course on first launch; progress for each language is saved separately, and you can switch anytime in Settings.

Thai — from the alphabet to real reading
• Step-by-step course across five levels (A1 through C1–C2)
• Guided alphabet in small batches — stroke animation, tracing, and short quizzes
• Consonant classes, vowels, and tone marks with audio and review cards
• 1,600+ vocabulary words with sound-by-sound breakdowns
• 150 graded reading passages and 55 everyday dialogues
• Grammar units, travel phrases, and classifier practice

Mandarin Chinese — HSK-aligned path
• Nineteen units across five levels (HSK 1→5 path, up to ~2,500 words)
• Unit 1 foundations: four tones, pinyin map, stroke-order rules, first Hanzi to trace
• Classroom-style lessons: dialogue → language points → vocabulary quiz → exercises
• Soft unlock so later bands open as you finish most of the previous one

Japanese — JLPT-aligned path
• Nineteen units across five levels (JLPT N5→N1 path, up to ~6,000+ words)
• Unit 1 foundations: writing systems, full kana charts, then hiragana and katakana in small row batches
• Classroom-style lessons: dialogue → culture → vocabulary → language points → reading → exercises
• Furigana readings and a clearer kanji-friendly typeface

Built for daily practice
• Flashcards with spaced repetition
• Quizzes — vocabulary, listening, and reading comprehension
• Cultural photo bites woven into every course
• Study streaks and optional daily reminders
• Share what you’re learning as story cards
• Works offline — no account required
• Optional sign-in to back up progress across devices

Whether you’re traveling, living abroad, or simply curious, NidNoi makes starting feel approachable — one small step at a time.

More features and learning content will continue to be added over time.
