Learn Thai.
Actually speak it.

Most apps teach you to tap. We teach you to talk — hear every word in real Thai, learn the tones that actually change meaning, and practise with a tutor and a community who have your back.

สวัสดี
sà-wàt-dii · hello
The serious Thai app Duolingo never made.

Built for speaking, not streak-chasing

Everything you need to go from your first สวัสดี to holding a real conversation.

Hear every word

Thai is tonal — the same syllable can mean different things. Tap any word to hear it, and train your ear with a dedicated tone trainer.

Practise any time

Chat in Thai with an AI tutor that replies in simple Thai with translations — so you can practise speaking between lessons. Live video lessons with a real Thai teacher are coming soon.

Learn together

A community to ask questions, share small wins and cheer each other on. The "together" is the point — you don't learn a language alone.

Real-world missions

Take your Thai off the screen — order food, greet a neighbour, ask a price — and earn points for actually using it out there.

Earn certificates

Pass a level test and earn a shareable certificate — proof you've gone from complete beginner toward real conversation.

Remember what you learn

Smart spaced review brings back the words you're about to forget — and the ones you get wrong — so they actually stick.

How it works

Up and learning in under two minutes.

1

Sign up free

No card, no fuss. Take a quick placement test or just pick your level.

2

Learn by ear

Work through short lessons with audio, quizzes and flashcards — a few minutes a day is enough.

3

Use it for real

Practise with the community, take on missions, and watch your confidence grow out in the world.

"I started learning Thai because the people I love speak it, and I was tired of just smiling and nodding at the dinner table. I built the app I wished I'd had — one that helps you actually speak, not just collect streaks."
