Order Food, Get Around, and Make Locals Smile
You don't need to be fluent—you just need the right phrases and the confidence to use them. Learn enough Thai to navigate markets, order meals, and have simple conversations.
Practice Anywhere
Got 3 minutes on the train? Waiting for coffee? Jam Kham's 5 Quick Modes adapt to wherever you are—no headphones required for Silent mode, no typing for One-Hand mode.
Get Understood
Thai tones turn "rice" into "news" and "beautiful" into "bad luck." Our visual tone guides show you exactly how to say each word—so your taxi driver knows where you want to go.
Learn about tonesActually Remember It
10 minutes a day for 2 weeks before your trip. Spaced repetition means you'll remember those phrases when you're standing at a street food stall, not just when you're at home studying.
How it worksA Systematic Approach to Thai's Tonal Writing System
Thai orthography encodes pronunciation through consonant classes, vowel length, and tone markers— a system that demands specific training techniques. Every feature here exists because Thai requires it.
Core Features
Every feature solves a real problem Thai learners face. Use what you need now; the rest is ready when you are.
Tone Training
Master Thai's 5 tones with dedicated practice cards, minimal pair drills, and visual pitch contours. Finally understand why "mai" means five different things.
High class consonant (ม) + long vowel + no tone mark = High tone
