Generic Language Apps Don't Work for Thai
Five tones. No spaces. 44 consonants. Here's why most apps fail.
Tone Blindness
The Thai word "mai" has multiple meanings depending on tone. Duolingo treats tones as optional pronunciation details.
Script Segmentation
Thai script has no word boundaries. "ฉันกินข้าว" looks like one unit but contains 3 words.
Shallow Memory
Recognition flashcards create weak memories. Without active recall, vocabulary vanishes within weeks.
Three Layers of Science-Backed Learning
Our 3-layer scheduling system is what sets Jam Kham apart.
Within-Session Micro-Spacing
New words appear 3 times per session in different formats, spaced by 2-5 other cards. This rapid cycling creates strong initial memory traces.
Long-Term SM-2 Scheduling
The proven SuperMemo algorithm schedules reviews across days and weeks—1 day, then 3, then 6, then adaptive expansion based on your performance.
Curriculum Sequencing
Smart ordering balances skill types (40% comprehension, 30% production, 20% listening, 10% tone) and interleaves across lessons for optimal learning.

Common Questions
How is Jam Kham different from Duolingo?
Duolingo uses gamification and treats all languages the same. Jam Kham uses research-backed spaced repetition with Thai-specific features: 8 card types, IPA transcription, syllable breakdown, and tone training. We focus on long-term retention, not streaks and XP.
What are Quick Modes?
Quick Modes let you adapt practice to any situation. Balanced (default), One-Hand (no typing—perfect for commuting), Silent (no audio—for libraries), Quick (recognition only—fastest pace), or Full (all 8 card types). Your preference is remembered.
What if I'm a complete beginner?
Perfect! Our onboarding includes starter vocabulary packs with the most essential words. The Quick mode is ideal for beginners who don't want to be overwhelmed.
Can I learn Thai script, or is it just romanization?
Both! Every word includes Thai script, romanization, IPA phonetic transcription with tone markers, and full syllable breakdown so you understand WHY words have their tones.
Is there a mobile app?
Jam Kham is a responsive web application that works beautifully on mobile browsers. Native apps are on our roadmap for 2026.
