## What is Thai Tea Suit?

Thai, taught the way field linguists actually learn languages.

Comprehension first. Listening before speaking. No streaks, no guilt, no confetti — just a quiet, expert path from your first word to real fluency, built for people who'll be in Thailand a year or more, not a two-week trip.

THE METHOD
• Picture-first lessons — understand before you translate
• Tone-colored romanization you can fade out as Thai script takes over
• Train your ear: minimal-pair sound drills and a tone lab that scores your pronunciation on-device
• Spaced-repetition reviews that come first on heavy days, so memory never silently decays
• A placement check that starts you where you actually are

ONE CALM PATH
The app always knows your next step. One recommended lesson, your reviews, and nothing shouting at you. A daily practice contract sized to real life — some days that's one review session, and that's enough.

GOES DEEP
• A deep everyday-Thai course — hand-finished lessons from your first words to advanced, growing every week
• Your own decks for the vocabulary your life actually needs
• Conversation scenes, memory palace, and study kits when you want more ways in
• Register-aware: polite particles, street Thai, and when to use which

FREE AND PREMIUM
The everyday starter lessons are free, and reviews of everything you've learned stay free forever — your memory is never held hostage. Premium opens every lesson in every track, with monthly, yearly, or pay-once lifetime options.

Built in Chiang Mai by a long-term learner, for the next one.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-02

A guided welcome, and a voice tuner you can trust.

• A short welcome now shows you how Sabai works — and asks whether you're learning Thai or helping someone learn (coaches get their own start)
• Voice tuning rebuilt: it waits for your voice, ignores room noise, shows the level it measured, and plays the tones in YOUR range so you can hear what it learned
• Hear your own attempt next to the target in tone practice, with a coaching tip every time
• Clearer placement: honest about its length, a sound check before listening questions, and a plain explanation of what your result changed
• Clearer lesson icons across the early levels, and machine-drafted extra practice now sits apart from the hand-finished path
• Honest labels everywhere: what's reviewed, what's still in preview, and exactly what Premium includes

### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-16

• Fixed an issue that could leave the app stuck on the opening screen.
• Smaller, faster download.
• Sign in with Apple or Google.
• Stability and performance improvements.
