Character → sound → word

ก า กา

kaa crow

ก is a consonant. า is the long “aa” vowel. Together they spell กา.

Hear the character, apply one rule, then read a real word.

Common questions

Read Thai Lifetime is a single $49 payment for lifetime access to the full alphabet course. There is also a monthly plan at $9 a month that renews until you cancel. Modules 1–3 free — no card needed.

No. The course starts from scratch with the Thai alphabet. You don't need to speak any Thai — reading and speaking are taught separately here.

You move from consonant recognition to vowel combinations, syllable decoding, tone rules, and real-word reading practice. Review scheduling brings each item back as you learn.

Modules 1–3 free for every account. The remaining modules — vowel patterns, all tone rules, and reading practice — are part of Read Thai Lifetime ($49, one-time).

Start with the letters, then read the word.

Modules 1–3 (the first three parts of the course) are free, so you can work through the actual course before you decide to join.
