Read full description

Thai, taught the way field linguists actually learn languages. Comprehension first. Listening before speaking. No streaks, no guilt, no confetti β€” 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 β€’ Picture-first lessons β€” understand before you translate β€’ Tone-colored romanization you can fade out as Thai script takes over β€’ Train your ear: minimal-pair sound drills and a tone lab that scores your pronunciation on-device β€’ Spaced-repetition reviews that come first on heavy days, so memory never silently decays β€’ 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 β€” some days that's one review session, and that's enough. GOES DEEP β€’ A deep everyday-Thai course β€” hand-finished lessons from your first words to advanced, growing every week β€’ Your own decks for the vocabulary your life actually needs β€’ Conversation scenes, memory palace, and study kits when you want more ways in β€’ 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 β€” 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.

About

Saga

Read full description

Saga is a personal language tutor that actually talks with you. Tell it what you want to be able to do, and it builds a plan around you: real conversations, short exercises, and simulations of the situations you'll face. Order a coffee in Stockholm. Meet your partner's parents in Seoul. Get through a phone call in Italian. You practise the moments that matter, and the tutor adapts to how you're doing. WHAT YOU GET β€’ A tutor that remembers you. It knows what you practised yesterday and plans today around it. β€’ Simulations. Rehearse real-life scenes out loud, with a partner who reacts to what you say. β€’ Bite-sized exercises. Pronunciation, listening, recall. Five minutes when that's all you have. β€’ Ask anything. Why is it "λ¨Ήμ–΄μš”" and not "λ¨Ή"? Ask, and get an explanation in plain words. β€’ Speak from the start. Saga listens to your voice and helps you sound natural. LANGUAGES Spanish, Italian, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, Dutch, Polish, Czech and English. WHO IT'S FOR We built Saga because the usual apps didn't get us speaking, and tutors were too big a commitment. Saga is for anyone with a real reason to learn: a partner, a move, a job, a family. It's for adults who want practical progress, not streaks. PLANS Standard: $23.99 per month or $49.99 every 3 months. Pro: $37.99 per month or $74.99 every 3 months, with maximum usage. Both start with a 7-day free trial. Lifetime access to one language: $119.99, paid once. Prices may vary by country. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Cancel any time in your App Store settings. Terms of service: https://saga.study/terms Privacy policy: https://saga.study/privacy
