If you’re a traveler who truly wants to immerse completely in Thailand, then learning Thai as a language is one thing you really should do. Thai can be a little difficult to learn but you can get help by using various apps that will help you learn Thai in Bangkok. Here are some apps you should consider getting before you take that trip to Bangkok, Thailand.

Talking Thai-English-Thai Dictionary

A dictionary is practically a requirement if you want to learn a new language. This app is better than an actual dictionary because it actually pronounces the words that you look up. No more guessing whether you’re pronouncing the words correctly. This dictionary was developed by Benjawan Becker and Chris Pirazzi, who are quite famous for their work in bridging the gap between the Thai language and people who want to learn it. The only downside to this app is that it costs $24.99. Quite expensive for an app. But because you’ll use it a lot, the price does become more reasonable.

Reading Thai

This is an app that teaches you the basics – from vowels, tone marks, consonants, and the most tricky part of the Thai language, the tone rules. This is a handy reference if you’re quickly looking for words that you’re having trouble with.

MyWords Thai

If you’re already getting the hang of the Thai language, you’ll have use for MyWords Thai. This is a great app that will help you learn ten new Thai words every day. This app will allow you to listen to Thai word, then you can record your own voice pronouncing the word so you’ll have instant feedback if you’re pronouncing the word correctly. This app requires that you already know how to read basic Thai.

So there you are, three handy apps that you can use when trying to learn Thai in Bangkok. These apps will definitely make that goal more achievable.
