Frequently Asked Questions
Is Read Thai really free?
You can start Read Thai free — the first three modules need no credit card and never expire. The full 11-module course is a paid upgrade (monthly, annual, or a one-time lifetime option).
When can I get the full Jam Kham app?
The full vocabulary app is in private testing and open sign-ups are closed for now. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know when the next spots open. Early waitlist members get founding pricing when paid plans launch.
What is founding pricing?
Early supporters who join the waitlist lock in our lowest pricing when the full app's paid plans launch — and you'll get plenty of notice before anything changes.
What happens to my progress when paid plans launch?
All your vocabulary, progress, and learning history carry over. Waitlist members who join early get the best pricing — locked in for as long as you stay subscribed.
What are Quick Modes?
Quick Modes let you adapt practice to any situation. Choose Balanced (default), One-Hand (no typing), Silent (no audio), Quick (recognition only), or Full (all card types). Your preference is remembered.
What is IPA transcription?
IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) is the professional standard for pronunciation. Our AI extracts IPA with Chao tone letters so you know exactly how each word sounds, including the tone.
Which plan is right for a tourist visiting Thailand?
Travel Pass is designed specifically for trip preparation. It includes 220+ travel phrases across 9 real situations, trip countdown pacing, and an offline cheat sheet — a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Travel Pass is coming soon — join the waitlist to get founding pricing when it opens.
What's the difference between Travel Pass and Read Thai?
Travel Pass is 220+ spoken phrases for getting around Thailand — you say them with romanization. Read Thai is a structured literacy course: alphabet, vowel system, tone rules until you can read any Thai word from its script. Different goals, different products. Read Thai is available now; Travel Pass is coming soon.
Read Thai — subscription or lifetime, which should I pick?
Subscription if you want to try the course at $5/mo or $30/yr. Lifetime is best if you know you'll come back to it — including alongside a future Study Thai subscription, or for occasional refreshers. Both include Founding Reader perks while early supporters are still being onboarded.
What does "Founding Reader" mean?
Early Read Thai supporters get permanent perks: locked-in pricing for life, early access to new lessons, a Founding Reader profile badge on your account, and a downloadable Thai script cheatsheet PDF. Join now and today's price is yours for good — it never goes up.
Do you offer student discounts?
Yes! Email us with proof of enrollment (student ID or .edu email) for 50% off Study Thai or All-Access when paid plans launch.
