A real card from the course. Tap it to flip.

How it works

The words you need, in the order you need them

1

Survival words first

1,083 words ordered by how useful they are in daily life. Greetings, food and getting around come first. News and formal Thai wait until the end.

2

A few minutes a day

Each day you get the cards that are due plus a few new ones. Help fades as you learn: first the English blurs, then the romanization.

3

Every sentence makes sense

Each card's example sentence only uses words you've already met, so you can always work it out.

Progress you can feel

See how much everyday Thai you already understand

Every word in the course is ranked by how often Thai people use it, so each word you learn moves a real number: the share of everyday Thai you can follow.

  • Daily review. The cards you're about to forget, at the right time.
  • Streaks in Thailand's colours of the day. Yellow Monday, pink Tuesday and so on.
  • On every device. Sign in once and pick up on your phone or laptop.
