THE TONE TOOL

See the shape of your tone

Thai has five tones, and the tone changes the meaning of the word. Switch on the Tone Tool, say the word, and it draws your pitch beside the shape the word needs.

Mid, low, falling, high and rising tones, visualised
Tuned to your own speaking voice during setup
Aim for the shape; it matters more than a perfect score

Lesson 3.2 on a phone: the Tone Tool drawing ภาษา as it is spoken, mid then rising

CONVERSATIONS AND EXERCISES

Textbook Thai, or real Thai? Learn both.

Every lesson has its conversations, and a switch between the grammatically correct Thai and the way Thai people actually speak. Then practise straight away.

Each line to hear, in Thai, romanisation and English
Meanings, word order and polite particles to practise
Stuck on one? Ask your tutor from the question

LISTENING PRACTICE

Train your ear with real Thai voices

Five listening tests, recorded by Thai speakers: which tone, same or different, find the tone, mixed practice, and your weak spots. After each answer you see the word you heard, in Thai.

A scoreboard for this session and all time
Your gap: the tone you hear as another, and a test to fix it
No reading needed to take part

A listening question, answered, with the word in Thai

TONE DRILL AND PROGRESS

Hear it again and again, until your ear knows it

Pick a tone and hear it over and over, said by different Thai speakers. Then watch your progress stack up: every word you learn, your day streak, each lesson and your score for every tone.

The drill is unlimited on every plan
Bars coloured by how well you know each word
Tone scores for each of the five tones

EVERYTHING YOU NEED

Every tool you need to speak Thai, in one place

Listening, speaking, tones, and the why behind them. The tests train your ear, the Tone Tool shows your voice, and Kruu Jai answers your questions properly, the way a patient teacher would. And it is simple to use: every lesson, test and tool is a tap away.
