Three things you'll do every day

Short sessions, mixed practice. The app keeps each one a tap away.

The tone problem, solved

Five tones, and a calculator that explains every one.

Pick a class, an ending and a tone mark to see the resulting tone, the contour shape and the rule that produced it. Then drill it with randomized syllables that build a streak.

  • Tone overview: five contour cards with native examples you can hear.
  • Class-by-class reference matrix: every combination, all in one place.
  • Practice mode with streaks and a celebration every five in a row.

Nine ways to practice

Mix it up so practice never feels like homework. Each game targets a different skill: sound recognition, vocabulary recall, class memory, hand-writing, speed. Three start unlocked, the rest open up as you earn XP.

Two faster ways to grow your vocabulary.

Adding words used to be one form at a time. Now you can let AI complete the entry or paste a whole spreadsheet at once.

AI fill the form

Type just the Thai, English or romanization. Tap AI fill and the rest — pronunciation, category, an example sentence and its translation — gets completed for you. Your typed values are never overwritten.

5 generations per UTC day per learner; the cap is admin-configurable.

Import from Excel

Got a vocab list in a spreadsheet? Drop the .xlsx or .csv into the importer and every row lands in your personal deck. Headers like thai / english / rtgs are detected automatically; duplicates are skipped, and there's a one-click template if you're starting from scratch.

Your name, in Thai script.

A small taste of what Thai writing feels like. Type a name, hear it spoken. No signup needed.

Your name in Thai will appear here.

Playful approximation. Real Thai transliteration of foreign names follows tone-mark and consonant-class rules we don't apply here. Use this for fun, not for paperwork.
