A small, honest Thai course for beginners, built the way Thai is taught in a language school: romanisation with tone marks first, Thai script alongside, short phrases you can actually use — and a lot of repetition.
No mascots, no hearts, no streak anxiety. Just the handout, the drill and the flashcards — the three things that actually work in a language school.
Each lesson is a real handout: the words with translations, the phrases with audio, and the rules explained in plain words.
Say it in Thai, tell what it means, or reply to a line of dialogue. You build every answer from word tiles, drawn fresh from a pool each time.
Your name and your gender go into the phrases, so you practise the particles you will really use: khráp, khâ or khá.
90 starter words in categories, practised with spaced repetition. Cards you miss come back sooner; cards you know step out of the way.
Type the pronunciation on a keyboard with all five tones and the app suggests the Thai spelling from a 62,000-word dictionary — or type the Thai and get the tones worked out.
Audio for every word and phrase, syllable by syllable, and ten spoken examples per word. Record yourself for any card and choose which voice plays.
Every rule from every lesson gathered on one screen, starting with a guide to reading the pronunciation.
Start with the romanisation and switch to Thai script when you are ready. The lessons and the trainer follow.
See what you have learned and what is due today. A daily reminder if you want one — and only if you want one.
Say “may” in the wrong tone and new silk turns into burnt wood. In Cry in Thai every tone has its own colour, so you see it before you hear it.
Thai spelling tells you the tone — if you know how to read it. Every syllable in the app is taken apart: consonant class, live or dead syllable, tone mark, and the tone that comes out of it.
Tap a syllable to hear it on its own, then the whole word, then yourself. The explanations come in your language.
No ads, no feed, no pop-ups — nothing between you and the next phrase.
The app never goes online — not for sign-in, not for analytics, not for anything.
The whole course, the dictionary and every audio file are inside the app. It makes no network requests at all.
No e-mail, no password, no social login, no analytics, no advertising. There is nothing to sign up for.
Cards, recordings and progress live on your device, with a one-tap backup file that you own and the app never sends anywhere.
Cry in Thai is out on Google Play and the App Store. Download it once and learn anywhere — no signal required.
