The Naga's Tongue — learn to read and speak Thai
The Naga's Tongue turns learning Thai into a story. You wash ashore with your voice stolen; to reclaim it you climb a giant serpent by mastering real Thai — listening, reading the script, and speaking back.
Part I — The Climb (free)
- Survival Thai: greetings, food, the market, directions, numbers and feelings
- Learn to read the Thai alphabet — consonants, vowels, tones and numerals
- Audio recorded for every phrase, so you hear the tones as well as read them
- Built for complete beginners — no prior Thai, and no account required
Part II — The Deep River
- Real conversation: bargaining, small talk, getting out of trouble
- Idiom, particles and the politeness registers Thai people actually use
- The deeper script: rare consonants, clusters and irregular spellings
