glot.it — Learn Thai Free

Order pad thai without pointing.

glot.it is a free Thai-learning app built by teachers and polyglots. 161 lessons across 12 stages take you from "สวัสดี" to watching Thai soaps with subtitles off.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

• Actually free, forever. 7-day Pro trial, then a free plan with daily limits. Not free-to-look-at — free-to-use. Daily goals, streaks, and progress are yours to keep.

• You'll speak, not just tap. Our pitch-contour tone mirror shows you exactly where your tone slipped — the only Thai app that does this. Say มา, mâa, or máa and see the contour scored against the native reference.

• Built by teachers and polyglots. 161 lessons, 49 grammar guides, 74 cultural deep-dives. Every lesson follows a 5-phase flow: Learn → Read → Listen → Speak → Drill.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Structured Thai lessons from Foundation to Native — curated word packs grouped by real-life need (ordering food, taking a taxi, meeting the in-laws)
• AI roleplay chat — practice ordering at a cafe, making friends, at the night market, at the doctor, with real-time pronunciation grading
• Thai alphabet — all 44 consonants + 18 vowels + 5 tones with mnemonic illustrations and handwriting practice
• Music & lyrics — study Thai through real songs with singable romanization
• Podcasts — AI-generated Thai listening episodes tied to your lesson level
• Cultural moments — 74 deep-dives on etiquette, tradition, food, regional differences
• Photo vocab — snap a picture, get Thai vocabulary with cultural notes
• Word bank with spaced repetition — words come back right when you're about to forget them
• Tone training — minimal-pair drills (หมา / ม้า / ม่า) so you actually hear the difference
• Offline-first — download lessons for the BTS / train / plane

WHO IT'S FOR

• Travelers heading to Thailand who want more than "hello, thank you"
• Expats in Bangkok / Chiang Mai / Phuket who still order food by pointing
• Partners of Thai speakers who are tired of smiling through family dinners
• Heritage learners whose parents speak Thai at home
• Anyone curious about one of Southeast Asia's most beautiful scripts
