About this app
Regal - Learn Thai Language is built for people who need Thai for a trip, for family, or for everyday conversation, and who have not studied it before. The course runs as short daily lessons along a set path rather than open-ended word lists, so every session has a clear beginning and end. Thai speakers can turn the whole thing around and study English with Thai-language support instead.
Reading comes early. Thai alphabet practice covers consonants, vowels, tone marks and syllables along with the basics of reading and writing, so the script stops being a wall before longer sentences arrive. Pronunciation practice handles tones and sounds on their own, and speaking practice asks you to produce the material out loud rather than only recognise it on the page.
Grammar lessons cover word order, polite particles, questions, negation, classifiers, numbers and time, plus the mistakes English speakers tend to make, with Thai and English compared in plain terms. Travel content is grouped by situation — airports, hotels, restaurants, transport, shopping, directions, health and emergencies — so you can revisit only the section you need. Review modes, a sentence builder, dictation, listening practice, learned words, missed questions, streaks and achievements handle everything after the first pass.
