Thai language tones

See how your voice rises and falls as you practice Thai tones. Speak a syllable, watch its pitch on screen, and compare your attempts as you adjust your voice.

A different tone can change a Thai word's meaning. Thai Language Tones brings speaking practice, listening exercises and tone rules together to help you work on that difference.

All features are included in one purchase. No subscriptions, in-app purchases or ads.

Practice speaking
Speech practice draws your pitch in real time and shows the detected tone: middle, low, falling, high or rising. Use the visual feedback to explore each tone and see what changes when you try again.

Train your ear and build vocabulary
Practice with more than 750 Thai words, each with audio and an English meaning. Five exercises let you identify tones by sound or spelling, listen before seeing the word, and match Thai words with English meanings in both directions. Adjust playback speed for a closer listen and check your answers as you go.

Understand the tone rules
Look up how consonant class, vowel length, syllable endings and tone marks determine tone. Tap example words to hear them and see their English meanings. Refresh the tables for new examples of the same rules, so you can apply what you learn to different words.

Use it alongside your Thai lessons for speaking and listening practice between classes. As you learn Thai script, return to the rule tables whenever a word's tone leaves you unsure.
