The speakthai.ai app is free, and it does a lot of the work: daily practice, spaced repetition, tones, script, and the vocabulary you keep forgetting. What AI alone cannot do is hear you speak Thai to another person, or prepare you to speak in real human interactions. That part needs a human — and by integrating the app with a human tutor, speakthai.ai offers the best of both worlds.
Two ways to learn Thai already exist, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. speakthai.ai gives you both in one place — one product, one subscription, one plan, instead of an app in one tab and a tutor marketplace in another. An AI teacher for your daily practice, and a human tutor for the parts software cannot do on its own.
