ThaiEar: Real Thai Audio

ThaiEar

About this app

Understand spoken Thai — by listening.

Most apps drill vocabulary lists. ThaiEar is built around whole sentences, recorded in
the studio by native Thai speakers, so you train the skill that actually matters:
understanding Thai as it is really spoken. Create a free account and start learning for
free.

READ THAI, FROM SCRATCH — FREE
A complete 12-step course that takes you from zero to reading Thai script: consonant
classes, vowels, final sounds, sound families, tone rules and clusters — with audio on
every letter and word. The whole course is free, and with a free account you also get
reading tests to consolidate your understanding, plus the whole course downloaded for
offline study.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 43 topics, 2,400+ sentences, 3,000+ unique words
• Every Thai sentence recorded by native speakers, male and female voices
• English translations and word-by-word notes on every sentence
• Graded beginner to advanced, so there's always a next step
• Cultural notes on how the language is really used

FOUR QUIZZES ON EVERY TOPIC
Listening is half of it. The quizzes are where you find out whether any of it has stuck:
build your vocabulary, your listening comprehension, and your ability to produce Thai —
by assembling sentences from gloss chips, or by speaking them aloud. They are a good
benchmark of how well you really know a topic: hearing the same sentences many times
makes them feel familiar, and familiar is not the same as known. Every unit has them,
and they work offline too.

THE DYNAMIC PLAYER
Build the listening session you actually want:
• Thai first or English first
• Repeat each Thai sentence 1, 2, 3 or 4 times
• Put the English where you want it — or switch it off entirely
• Stretch or shorten the pauses between sentences
• Take the Thai slower while a topic is new to you
Your session is assembled on your own device, so every setting applies instantly and
works completely offline.

PLAYLISTS
Collect sentences from any topic into your own playlists: the ones that keep catching
you out, a set for your next trip, today's revision. A playlist plays exactly like a
topic — same player, same settings — and downloads for offline too.

GRAMMAR BY EAR
Twenty short units, each drilling one Thai structure by ear — the small words that hold
a sentence together, and the patterns you keep hearing but can't quite place.

What’s new

• Repeat and Autoplay now keep working with the screen locked: a repeating topic starts again, and Autoplay moves on to the next topic, without you unlocking your phone.
• The previous and next buttons on the lock screen, headphones and in the car now skip between topics straight away.
• The lock screen now has a Repeat button that shows whether Repeat is on.
