My dad was moving to Thailand, so I built him a Thai version of WaniKani

My dad decided to explore the world and ended up in Thailand, and now he has a girlfriend and is learning the language.

That made me realize pretty quickly that Thai is not an easy language to casually pick up, and most apps either barely support it or don’t teach vocabulary in a way that feels useful.

So I started building JamDaiThai - (meaning I remember Thai) for him.

The goal was to help him learn useful everyday words, hear them clearly, remember them with mnemonics, and review them through simple levels.

One thing I really cared about was pronunciation. Every word is pronounced by a native speaker, not some terrible text-to-speech voice that makes the language sound robotic.

It started as something for one person I cared about, but I kept building it because I think a lot of people need a resource like this.
