Thai Language Guide & Audio - World Nomads

There is no audio on the words that are suppose to have audio. The audio would be useful.

This CRITICALLY important and useful function is missing in the Thai WN app, Which is otherwise useful and one of the better free language apps.

Though they use an authentic Thai speaker for translations, this app is extremely wanting. It does not address tones, I've found several mistranslations (sanook means 'fun' not 'like'), and worse: several mistransliterations. It's one thing to opt out of tones (beginners won't grasp it anyway) but transliteration is quite easy. It's not like Chinese script. Thai is not pictographic. I gave it two stars because of the Travel Safety phrase 'Those drugs aren't mine!' Apparently, this app is for uninformed Australian college students on holiday.

Everything is fine except the "place to stay " 2 of them are wrong. I dont like this and i like this are saying very fun and not fun.

This looks and sounds great, I can't wait to use this on my trip.

Not much in here. A few words, some numbers, and one audio coversation between a tourist and a Thai selling shirts (with an ad plug at the end for travel insurance). You can't pause or reverse the audio "lesson". One star, because the price is right.

(update - as of writing this, the only review on this app is this review showing 1 star, but the average star rating is 2 stars, how is that possible? Also, 0 of 2 people found this review helpful. One may not agree with the review, but to vote that the detailed informatoin did not help at all seems interesting, especially since app developers who are angry with low ratings can just click that it was not helpful and even write fake positive reviews. I won't be wasting any more time trying give detailed reviews and to Apple, this review writing system will give more and more B.S. reviews like "rock on dude" or "I like glass." ) Pass on this. Even for free, if the information is not all correct or at least full of useful information, what's the point? There is a grand total of 26 phrases in this plus numbers 1-10. The audio pronunciations in the introductions section are clipped by the speaker and sound a bit off. The language lesson is filled with a "Thai" person "teaching" a foreigner how to speak, but many times not completely clear. There is also no way to pause, fast forward or rewind the long lesson; you have to listen to it from the beginning every time. Also, the number of phrases per section is anemic. Example - under the heading "Dates" there are only four entries: Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday, Now. The "Thai" speaker pronounces the "nee" part of "wun nee" with the wrong tone and the English phonetics do not have tone marks, so you have no accurate information at all in that case. TO EVERYONE WANTING TO FIND A GOOD ENGLISH PHONETIC PHRASE APP OR BOOK...YOU MUST FIND ONE WITH A TONE MARK SYSTEM IN IT. Using a wrong tone in Thai changes the actual word to a different word or a nonsense word. They even mention this in the little language lesson in this app, yet they don't put tone marks for the phonetics. Bottom line, if you want to learn and listen to Thai numbers one through ten, then for free, this has it. Again beware in introductory language instruction like this; if it does not teach you correctly from the start, then even free is too expensive.
