Sawasdee is a vocabulary and listening trainer, not a game: ask, answer, feedback, next – with a memory that knows which word you are about to forget. Free: the first 300 words of every language with every trainer, plus the complete alphabet and tone trainers – no time limit, no account. LEARN WHAT MATTERS • Seven languages: Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, German, English • Each word list is built from that language's own sources, not a translated English list – pronouns, particles, classifiers, politeness levels and culture notes included • CEFR levels A1-C1, everyday sentences • Interface and translations in 14 languages A DAILY SESSION THAT FITS YOUR TIME • Pick 3, 7 or 12 minutes – the app fills them with what is due, then with new words • Spaced repetition (FSRS) asks exactly the words you are about to forget • Words you know get typed or heard, not just tapped • Confusable pairs are detected and drilled side by side • Honest status: "these words are solid, these are shaky" – answers instead of charts AUDIO FOR EVERY WORD • Clear pronunciation for every word: recordings and labelled computer voices (sources in the app) • Slow playback, record yourself and compare • Transcriptions adapted to your native language SCRIPT AND WRITING • Stroke-order trainer for Thai, kana and kanji, Hangul, Hanzi – order, start point, direction, scored tracing • Tone trainer for Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese • Writing trainer with tiles or keyboard, sentence builder YOUR DATA • Works offline (download audio above level A1 once); progress stays on your device • Optional sign-in with Apple, Google or a one-time email code to sync between devices • No ads, no tracking, no cloud AI in the learning path PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) • Unlocks everything: all words and levels A1-C1 in all seven languages in one purchase • Monthly, yearly (14-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase – cancel any time in Settings Spotted a mistake?
