Two languages. One bridge.
Built in Thailand, for Thailand.
English is free, forever for every Thai learner. Thai is honestly priced for the rest of us. Our aim: every membership helps put more English into Thai classrooms.
One choice locks the app to your side. Focus wins.
A British and Thai couple. Two languages. One idea.
We started trying to learn each other's languages. We quickly noticed that a lot of apps don't really teach the kind of language people use in everyday life. They felt built to keep you subscribed, not to help you build real confidence in speaking.
At the same time, most of our own family members in Thailand don't speak English, and they can't afford classes, tutors, or expensive language apps. That stayed with us. It made us realise how unfair language learning can be. For some people, English opens up more confidence, more opportunities, and a better future. For others, that access just isn't there.
So we built thaiandenglish.com. A place where tourists and expats can learn real, conversational Thai at an affordable price, while helping support free English learning for Thai people.
Our hope is that, over time, this grows into something that helps children in local schools, and adults who want to improve their English but never had the same opportunities.
More than flashcards.
Other apps teach you pointless words that keep you a paying customer for longer. We focus on useful, everyday Thai.
Conversations, not padding
Hear a real Thai phrase, pick the right reply. 3 lives. Streak bonuses. The drill format you already play for fun.
Word by word
Tap any word in any sentence to see its meaning, role, and tone. Learn how sentences are built so you can build your own.
Tone training
Thai has 5 tones. Miss them and nobody understands you. Our trainer drills them in with audio and colour coding.
Five ways to drill the same sentences.
Switch formats and your brain learns faster. Every game pulls from the same live vocabulary, so progress follows you everywhere.
Conversation
Someone says something in Thai, you pick the right English reply. 3 lives, streak bonuses. The most fun way in.
Sentence Builder
Scrambled word chips, drag them into order. Shows you how Thai sentences actually assemble.
Matching Pairs
Classic flip-card memory. Thai to English. Quick visual drilling for new vocabulary.
Flashcards
See a sentence, recall the meaning. Rate how well you knew it. Spaced repetition queues it back at the right moment.
Tone Trainer
Hear a word, pick the tone. Thai has five. Get them wrong, nobody understands. This drills them in.
What the app actually looks like.
Real content, not mock-ups. Tap words to break them down, tap audio to hear native-style pronunciation.
Other apps teach "the spider drinks milk".
Pointless words. Padded lessons. Daily streaks. It's all designed to keep you subscribed, not to help you speak.
We went the other way. Every sentence in here is something you'll actually need this week in Thailand.
Order food. Talk to your taxi driver. Bargain at the market. Have small-talk with neighbours. The boring, useful stuff.
Three steps to starting.
Tell us about you
Gender (it changes pronouns!), level, optional kid mode. Takes 30 seconds.
Pick a scenario
Food, taxi, shopping, small talk, emergency, more. Or jump straight into a game.
Play, drill, speak
Five game types. Spaced repetition under the hood. 10 focused minutes a day.
Our aim: classrooms across Thailand.
We want this to be the first free English resource any Thai teacher reaches for, from Bangkok to Betong. If you teach, tell us what would help and we'll build it with you.
One price. One annual payment.
No subscriptions stacking up. No "Premium Plus Ultra" tiers. No hidden extras. No constant pressure to spend more. And English mode stays free for Thai nationals, forever.
