Learn Thai
by Articast
Learn to speak Thai for your trip, with nothing to read and nothing to write down. Sing, your teacher, coaches Lucy, who's flying to Bangkok, and you're the second student: every time he says "your turn", you answer out loud. Nok, his friend in Bangkok, lets you hear Thai the way it's spoken on the street. Each episode runs about six minutes, brings three new words at most, and has you play a real scene: a shop, a coffee stand, a tuk-tuk. The voices are generated by a latest-generation AI trained on Thai, and every word is approved by native Thai speakers.

S1E08 · Where's the restroom?
Lucy drank three bottles of cold water, and now it's urgent. You ask where the restroom is, "the water room" in Thai, with a pattern that finds anything you're looking for. And you find out where the question word goes in Thai: at the very end. In this episode: hong nahm (restroom), tee nai...

S1E07 · Do you have…?
Ninety-five degrees, and the fridge in the shop looks empty.

In this episode: mee (to have, there is), mai?...

S1E05 · How much is it?
Lucy found the perfect iced tea, at a stand with no prices anywhere. In five minutes, you point at a drink and ask how much it is, in Thai. No verb "to be", no "it": you just put the words in the order you think them. In this episode: tao rai (how much), nee (this), kah? (the polite word a woman...

S1E04 · Not sweet
At the Thai place down the street, Lucy tried the iced coffee: pure syrup. You learn to say "not sweet", with the little word that turns any sentence into a no, and you correct the vendor when she gets your order wrong. And you order your first Thai iced tea. In this episode: waan (sweet), mai...

S1E03 · I'd like an iced coffee
Ninety-five degrees in Bangkok, and Lucy can't get through the morning without coffee. You order an iced coffee at a street stand, and you find out that in Thai, you snap the pieces together and never conjugate anything. Just don't forget "iced"… In this episode: yaak dai (I'd like), ga-fae...

S1E02 · Hello, thank you
In five minutes, you walk into a little shop in Bangkok, say hello, thank the owner, and leave saying goodbye. Two words are all it takes. In this episode: sa-wat-dee (hello, and goodbye too), kop koon (thank you). Voices generated by a latest-generation AI trained on Thai, and every word is...
