Thai for Beginners

Good for using with the book but a bit old fashion interface.

This is a great app, but after all the years of updates, the startup logo has black borders because the image is from iPhone 4 sized screens. Also, the app itself is not optimized for larger screen like iPhone 6 and plus. The top bar with the signal strength and time is larger than what it is suppose to be which shows this app not being optimized. Just because it runs on the latest iOS doesn't mean it's probably updated. It's been years now and after many emails about this nothing has been done in the last few updates. Please update this and make better use of larger screens. Those old sizes have been phased out.

I love this app. Even with out the companion book it is great! But now with ios17 the app will not open. Please fix this problem so I can use it again. Also, one suggestion is to allow the app to work in the background and not be effected by home screen lock. Many language apps I use allow the lessons to be played while either forcing the screen to not lock while open or to continue to play if screen locked. Thank you!

I can’t get the app to open with it crashing. I tried deleting and redownloading but that didn’t work either. Please update the app to fix this 😭

Buggy and does not follow book

I wish that the conversations were included in the oral section. I feel it is most helpful to hear the words in context. I was surprised that only the vocabulary list is vocalized.

This app is wonderful. Designed to create a broad, strong foundation in Thai language. Female and male speakers help to sharpen listening skills. The tests provide an effective way to measure progress and identify weak spots. One of the best learning tools I have on my devices. This company clearly cares about quality.

If you’re learning Thai from Benjawan Poonsan Becker’s Thai for Beginners, this is a helpful aid for practicing vocabulary, studying sentence structure, and improving pronunciation. It used the same English transliteration as the book. I am using the book and CD for a class I’m enrolled in but got this app to focus in on the pronunciation of specific words (which is harder to do when rewinding the audio from the CD). If you are serious about learning Thai this is a valuable beginner resource.

This app is a great companion to the book! I love it. However the conversation audio from the book is missing. Everything else is there and it's super helpful. This would be a five star review of the conversation audio was there. The UX of the app is also not great but that's not really the point. Would happily give five stars even with the UX if the conversation was in here.

I have been studying the book Thai for Beginners for awhile now, then discovered this app. I like the quizzes and customization options. However, I can read Thai really well. I need more work on listening. I would love for there to be a Listen-only option for the quizzes, so I can drill myself more. Thanks for making and updating this app! :)
