Learn Thai Language Reviews

Want to like LearnThaiLanguage but it suffers from something many apps suffer from. It wants me to draw a k in Russian. I do this. Yet it won’t accept it. You need to either have a bypass in which I override you and say it’s done, period, move on or have something which allows me to remove a section of your lessons, such as writing. I need to be able to say, I don’t care about part, do not include it period. Why? Because I’m right and you’re wasting my time because your app doesn’t see that I wrote the character well enough to move on. You instead make this a trap that the user gets stuck in. We need to just move on.

LearnThaiLanguage feels sluggish. And I’m on an iPhone 14 Pro Max. Come on.

I pronounced the word стоит again, good enough. Need to say, move on. My answer is good enough.

You need to be able to save the current text as a card in photos. That way I can read it later or use it with CHATGPT.

If this what you still can’t get right after 4 years, you’ll never get it right in 4 more. I doubt any improvement like I mentioned will occur in a timely manner.

I just got the latest update. What happened to the sentences??? They should have never been a part of the grammar, but they should be included in the review. The vocab and dialogue is not enough. Need the sentences that used the vocab like the previous version.

Overall, I am very disappointed i with LearnThaiLanguage. The vocabulary given to learn, and the order doesn’t make sense to me. Why are we learning how to say German, Germany, Japan, Japanese, etc in the first lesson??? It is maddening how many lessons you have to go through to learn the word for today.

Many times words are presented as new vocab, when they were already used in previous lessons.

The review is very bad. Needs some sort of flash card UI. In the least, the English and Thai words should be separated. You don’t need pictures in the review. The point of the review is to try and memorize the words. Hard to practice when the English and Thai words are side by side.

Why can’t I, as a paying customer, use LearnThaiLanguage offline. Not being able to practice on a 15 hour flight is a bad user experience.

All in all, this is perhaps the best app for learning Thai, but it’s not very good.

Please work on improving it. It has gotten visually better in the last few updates. I’m counting on you. 🥺

$15 for 30 days of access is already a steep asking price, but there’s not a lot of Thai resources out there. To make things worse, I got through 1 (O-N-E) ‘premium’ lesson before LearnThaiLanguage froze and kicked me out, and now has no record of my purchase. I’m locked out of the lessons I bought and yet the money is still gone from my account. Even if I can get a refund, I will not be using LearnThaiLanguage again, nor will I ever recommend it to fellow language learners. In the time I have spent trying to get LearnThaiLanguage to work, I could have found 5x as many free resources that actually function as advertised. Disappointing.

Don’t trust their free trial. They will charge without any notice beforehand. Even If I requested on the same exact day charge was made, they already have set it up not to be eligible for a refund from Apple. So I’ve tried to directly email LearnThaiLanguage company, however they repeatedly said request refund through Apple only and not try to be helpful. How am I suppose to get refund from Apple when they already have made it not possible with their shady refund policy.
Very dishonest and greedy company.
Now I’m stuck with this uninteresting useless low quality app for 1 year subscription fee. This is too much to pay off for as a student who was just curious to test LearnThaiLanguage .

The premise is brilliant and is a useful tool HOWEVER LearnThaiLanguage simply won’t load. Apple store refunded my purchase as LearnThaiLanguage wouldn’t open. If the developer manages to ever check on LearnThaiLanguage he’ll see the cries and make the correction but until then he will miss out on people willing to purchase. If it worked I would rate it a 5*but until then 1*

Update: app now works but has been reformatted. Unless you pay you only get the 1st two blocks. So previously I would rate it 5 stars but due to recent issues for the last 3 months and now this I’m downgrading it to a 2 star app. Should have left a good thing alone.

Asian languages are hard, difficult to teach proper sounds and structuring of a sentences. LearnThaiLanguage really pushes full sentences right away. Which is fine, but if you are unable to pull words from your memory you don't understand the question. There is no way to click the word to see its definition nor a access point to search for a words meaning. So if you miss the question it won't even tell you what it was suppose to say, you just fail without understanding the sentence at all. Meaning you'll need to exit LearnThaiLanguage and find the meaning or go back to another lesson to find it and figure it out in that sentence. I'm completing lessons without fully understanding it because there's no access to understand it fully or show why it was wrong / English translation. If I miss the sentence it should at least show up in English what it was suppose to say so I put the words together to understand what each one was suppose to be. Although a word bank / clicking the word would be much more efficient for the price I'm paying monthly.

2 stars because I liked the learning experience for the time I used LearnThaiLanguage . The glaring exception is everything taught from perspective of a female speaker with no way to change to male speaker, which is an important distinction in the Thai language.

After paying for a year subscription I was learning a lot until one day I opened LearnThaiLanguage and was required to log in. When I tried to log in LearnThaiLanguage no longer recognized my email address.

I emailed the company and they told me they don't recognize me in the system by name or email so if I wanted to continue using LearnThaiLanguage I'd have to pay again.

I am trying LearnThaiLanguage out in the free mode, most of the features are locked. I don’t think there is enough of a sample to decide if it’s worth it or not. To what level will this take you? I just see a bunch of phrases and a few grammar/tense rules. Is it designed for one-time tourists or people who want to achieve fluency? The voice recognition feature, like most language programs, is not very accurate. I know this because it gives errors when the words are being spoken even by native Thai speakers. My wife is fluent in Thai (she’s Thai), and when she spoke “The boy eats soup” she got a 0 score. LOL! Other phrases too.

Pros:
The learning format is great. You get to work on growing your vocabulary, learn sentence structures, practice your hearing and speaking. Also, it allows you to learn at your pace while keeping you accountable by sending you a reminder each day (if you set it up).

Cons:
When using the “speaking lessons”, your voice recording often cuts off at the end, so it’s difficult to pass the test. When utilizing the “review”, LearnThaiLanguage often crashes. Most times I only get up to the 4th question before it shuts down on me.

Very few other places. Many of these lesser studied southeast Asian languages are difficult to learn because of a lack of resources. Therefore I was pleasantly surprised when I found LearnThaiLanguage :,) of course not everything is perfect and it’s true that some of the words in dialogues appear before you learn them. But hey I’m up for a challenge and i appreciate the effort put in to make these languages more accessible. I wish it were free (lol) but I understand someone should probably make a living off of this. Thanks and please keep it up, I hope LearnThaiLanguage continues to grow and improve so I can as well.

Ok so I love LearnThaiLanguage because first it’s better then doulingo I think because Dou dose not teach Thai and it also dose not have you like practice writing letters or words like LearnThaiLanguage and dou dose not teach you the grammar for the language and sometimes when I try to learn a diff language off dou it dose not have you practice have to pronounce to words and stuff and I think they need to improve that but this is not about dou this is about y’all’s app I think it’s sooo good and the fact you don’t just have to learn RHAI on it is amazing 5 ⭐️’s from me 🇹🇭❤️🤍💙🤍❤️

Its good so far. REALLY nice feature is the ability to rapidly toggle on and off the roman alphabet (english letters) pronunciation. That shows a deep understanding of the process. It forces one who is already familiar but not yet literate to practice reading the Thai words in context while allowing us to toggle it on really quick to either help when stuck or even just verify what we think we just read. I’m giving it 5 stars now for that alone and for the ease of use. I’ll rate it again later after using for a month to see how useful and in depth it actually is. I’m really hoping this could be the push i need to get reading more than just signs and short simple statements already. I’m hoping the in app content is large enough to be stimulating for the whole course of the year subscription.

I’m using LearnThaiLanguage to learn Malayalam because my fiancé is from Kerala and my in laws do not speak much English. He helps me study and says that LearnThaiLanguage is super in depth and better than all my other attempts before. 2 days in and I’ve already learned how to have at least 3 full conversations with my in laws. Can’t wait to dig deeper until I’m fluent.

Paid upfront for the year Pro service. However app does not allow me to access pro features. Unable to get refund or pro feature access and no one to help with support ticket. They send me a reset password link every time I send a ticket. Very disappointed I paid for app but do not get features I paid for.

LearnThaiLanguage works great and even checks your pronunciation. It teaches you what you need to know to talk to people in daily life. I’ve never learned a second language, much less a tonal language, and I’m learning with this. The free version is the same, but a lot of what you really want to know you need to pay for (they’re running a business, right?) Get the full version right off — you’ll progress faster, I think.

I find it very beautiful for many people here to find study material for less “famous” languages
Came here to learn Thai, I find it very helpful with others apps for more reading, learning alphabet or simply translate things. Base for all of those.
I also starting Norwegian and I can see the same pattern of learning, don’t know yet if that’s gonna help or get my mind more messy than already with other three fluent languages. We’ll see! Thank you for LearnThaiLanguage :)

I have studied the Thai language off and on since 2000. I tried LearnThaiLanguage out seven days ago and really like it. The speaking portion of LearnThaiLanguage is very accurate. If you are not saying the Thai word(s) correctly, you definitely are not saying the word(s) correctly. I tested this with a native Thai speaker. This is really important due to the vowel and tonal structure of the language usually being the most difficult for English speakers when they are learning the Thai language.

This is surprisingly a really great thai language app... I appreciate how it has options to turn on or off the Roman phonetics to sound out words and also turn off the English Thai translations.. so you can your learn the language quickly with the crutches they provide .. or you can turn off the help and master the basics with just the thai reading.. I ended up buying the yearly membership from the trial. If there was one thing that could be done to improve it would be a section with the letters and how to practice writing them. Thanks

I love it. I have too many learning app’s but this one is the best hands down. So easy to navigate. The mini learning games are so fun and easy to use. The tests are random and have great material from all the categorys. In its current state I 100% would and do recommend LearnThaiLanguage to anyone who wants to learn thai or other languages.
I have been using LearnThaiLanguage for 1 year and 8 months and just want to say thank you for such a great app. Would love to see more Thai learning units added to learn more words with Ling. It’s so much fun.

I have been married for 18 years and I have tried several things of language lessons. Now we are retiring and I will have to improve my language since I will be living there. I am loving LearnThaiLanguage and it is helping me out with so much. I truly recommend it for anyone who wants to be able to speak and understand fluent Thai
