Learn Thai the straightforward way. Whether you're just starting out or picking it back up, this app gives you a clear daily plan so you always know exactly what to study and when. The app is built around a daily word learning plan. Each day you get a small set of Thai words to work through in short, focused sessions. You study step by step, practice with related phrases, and complete the plan to keep your streak going. It's a simple, consistent routine that answers the question most learners struggle with: "What should I study today?" When you're learning to speak Thai, vocabulary is the foundation. The Words module covers that with flashcards, image-to-word matching, quizzes, fill-in-the-blank exercises, and example sentences. Once you've studied a word, you can practice it through typing, dictation, listening-based quizzes, and production exercises. That variety helps the words actually stick. The Phrasebook gives you real Thai phrases organized by category. You can listen to each phrase, take listening quizzes, and practice phrase dictation. It's a practical way to pick up everyday language you can actually use when you speak Thai in real situations. The Recall module uses spaced repetition (SRS) to bring back words right before you'd forget them. It's one of the most reliable methods for long-term retention, and it's built right into the review flow. You can track everything in the Stats section, which shows your progress and study session history. The Home dashboard keeps your daily plan, streak, and weekly activity front and center so you stay on track. The app also supports offline access as a fallback, so your study routine doesn't have to stop when you don't have a connection. Here's a quick look at what's inside: Home Dashboard: daily plan entry, streak counter, and weekly activity view Daily Word Learning Plan: a guided, step-by-step routine with a small set of Thai words each day Words Module: flashcards, image-to-word, quizzes, examples, and cloze exercises Word Exercises: typing, dictation, listening quizzes, and production practice Phrasebook: category-based Thai phrases with listening exercises, listening quizzes, and phrase dictation Recall Module: spaced repetition review to reinforce what you've learned Stats: progress tracking and study session overview Offline support: continue learning even without an internet connection Free vs. Premium The free plan covers the full core learning journey. You can follow the Home and Daily Vocabulary Learning modules, study with the standard Words modules, complete all basic word exercises, listen to 5 sentences in each of 30 phrase categories, review with SRS, and track your progress in Stats. Premium unlocks a deeper set of practice tools. On top of everything in the free plan, you get advanced Words features including Weak Spot, Speed Test, and Matching. The Phrasebook expands to 100 sentences per category. You also unlock Sentence Search, Sentence Review, and the Listening Lab for more focused listening practice. Premium is for learners who want to go further, faster. But the free plan gives you everything you need to build a real daily habit and make steady progress learning to speak Thai.
