Cry in Thai
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cry in Thai is a small, honest Thai course for beginners. It follows the way Thai is taught in a language school: romanisation with tone marks first, Thai script alongside, short phrases you can actually use, and a lot of repetition. LESSONS • Each lesson is a real handout: the words with translations, the phrases with audio, and the rules explained in plain words. • A training of 10 exercises drawn from a pool: say it in Thai, tell what it means, or reply to a line of dialogue. You build every answer from word tiles. • Your name and your gender go into the phrases, so you practise the polite particles you will really use: khráp, khâ or khá. FLASHCARDS • 90 starter words in categories: greetings, numbers, food, market, time, colours, family, getting around. • Mark a category "in learning" and practise with a word and four answers, the way spaced repetition apps do. Cards you miss come back more often. • Add your own cards. Type the pronunciation on a keyboard with all five tones and the app suggests the Thai spelling from a 62,000-word dictionary. Or type the Thai and get the pronunciation with tones worked out from the spelling. PRONUNCIATION • Every syllable is explained: consonant class, live or dead syllable, tone mark, and the tone that comes out of it. • Native-sounding audio for every word and phrase, syllable by syllable. • Record your own voice for any card and choose which voice plays. MADE FOR LEARNERS, NOT FOR DATA • Works fully offline. No account, no analytics, no ads, no network. • Everything stays on your device, with a one-tap backup you own. • A daily reminder if you want one, and statistics that show what you have learned. Beginner or Advanced mode: start with the romanisation and switch to Thai script when you are ready. The lessons and the trainer follow.
