Okay, this is not a bad app but it does have one serious flaw: it's supposed to support the Thai for Beginners book from the same publisher. It only has about half of what the book has and some of that is critical: tone sounds, the simple reading exercises, the ability to write. The reading exercises in the app drop you right in to sentence level reading well before the book even covers all the letters and vowels. This could be a much better and more useful app if it tracked the lessons in the book more closely.

Hi, thanks so much for creating this wonderful app from the book! Are there plans to create the app for intermediate Thai? Thanks!

Bought book with tapes years ago. Tapes died, book was fine. App. returned audio.

Y70%

I'm really hoping there's an upgrade coming to help justify the price. Exercises are very limited and . Major upgrade required

It works well alongside the book. However, the Thai script is too small with no apparent way of adjusting it - magnifying glass required. Also, I get the following error message on a regular basis: Reason(RETRY) (Connectivity issue): 291 The only way I can get rid of this message is to reboot. Thanks for the update, it's working fine now - changed rating to reflect this from 2 to 5 Star. Best wishes

The book is probably the best and this is a great on-the-go refresher that helps you learn to listen as well as read

1. The Reading Exercises are assuming that you already know to read Thai, while the application doesn’t actually teach you to read. It shows a summary of the Thai Writing System but it is just a plain exposition of the consonants and vowels, not a progressive learning system like the one at the book. 2. The Thai letters are too small (specially for those who are learning how to recognize them). Please, implement the option to resize the fonts, or at least the possibility to zoom in.

Follows the book a bit, but its limited. Rather expensive for what it is. Needs a lot of work to make it really useful. For most questions it was too easy to just make a guess and get it right. Worth $3

I've tried just about every app for learning Thai, and this is the best. I'm trying to learn to read and speak. This app is expensive, but very comprehensive. I would be good if you could turn off the English translation when in preview screen
