Write every Thai letter with your finger and get each stroke scored as you draw. Learn the consonant class behind every letter — the key that makes Thai tones predictable. 44 consonants, 32 vowels, 4 tone marks, native audio, fully offline. Thai letters come with names: ก is ก ไก่ — "gor gai", the chicken. That is how Thai children learn them, and how you will too. But the real key is the class. Each of the 44 consonants belongs to one of three classes — Mid, High or Low — and the class together with the tone mark decides which of the five tones a syllable takes. Memorising letter shapes alone will never let you predict a tone. This app shows the class on every consonant, teaches live and dead syllables and the ห leader, and makes you write each letter with the stroke scored in real time. Built for adults and travelers — not toddlers. Practical, fast, and honest about what it takes to read menus, signs, and messages in Thailand. ▸ Handwriting canvas scores every stroke as you draw ▸ All 44 consonants, 32 vowels & 4 tone marks covered ▸ Native pronunciation for every character ▸ 3 quiz modes + real listening drills ▸ Spaced repetition (SM-2) & a daily challenge ▸ A smart review deck that resurfaces your mistakes ▸ Streaks, badges & weekly progress charts Ten minutes a day, from zero to reading Thai, one letter at a time.
