Tone-dle

Hear one Thai word. Which of the five tones is it? Six tries, hints after the second, a new word every day.

How it works

Thai has five tones, and the same syllable with a different tone is a different word: มา is “come”, ม้า is “horse”, หมา is “dog”. Tone-dle trains your ear on one real word a day. The grid you share shows the shape of your guesses (▁ mid, ↘ low, ⤵ falling, ↗ high, ⤴ rising), never the answer.

Want the whole language?

Jingjok teaches the Thai you use in Thailand from day one: script, tones, and the words for 7-Eleven, Grab and your landlord. Tone-dle is in the app too, with a tone check on your own voice.
