Thai Alphabet

Features
Read full description

Start reading Thai from your first letter. Learn each signโ€™s sound and consonant class, then use vowels and tone rules to read real words. Thai Alphabet takes you from zero to reading Thai script through short lessons, active recall and guided review. It teaches how the writing works, so you can work out a tone instead of memorising isolated answers. START WITH THE SCRIPT โ€ข Learn all 44 consonants, 32 vowel forms, four tone marks and essential reading patterns. โ€ข Begin with nine mid-class consonants and four vowels for free. โ€ข After your first letter-recall question, see the optional Pro offer. Continue learning free without buying. โ€ข Browse the alphabet by consonant class and look up a letter whenever you need it. HEAR IT. SAY IT. REMEMBER IT. โ€ข Hear letter names, vowel sounds and selected words, with recordings available offline. โ€ข Practise recognising a letter, recalling its name, and identifying its consonant class. โ€ข Opt in to a spoken full-letter-name check for a clear pass, try again or unclear result. It checks recognition, not accent. Apple may process audio when on-device Thai speech recognition is unavailable. Recordings and transcripts are not saved by the app. โ€ข Spaced review brings back letters as you learn and gives missed answers another chance. UNDERSTAND THAI TONES Learn how consonant class, vowel length, syllable ending and tone marks combine. Work through a written word and see why its tone changes. PRACTISE WRITING Trace a letter, hide the guide and try it from memory. Writing practice is freehand: it does not score handwriting or stroke order. KEEP YOUR PROGRESS VISIBLE Add a daily-letter widget or a practice-calendar widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen. Your progress and study history stay on your device. No account and no ads. READ REAL WORDS Build simple Thai words from the signs you have learned, listen to selected everyday phrases and practise polite endings.
