Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know the Thai script to use this?
No. Cards show romanization alongside Thai script, so you can learn sounds first and script later.
How is this different from Vocab Core?
Sound Sandbox focuses on picture-to-sound association for absolute beginners. Vocab Core uses spaced repetition for deeper retention of a larger word set.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes. All Fluent Thai apps work on any device with a browser—phone, tablet, or desktop.
What if an audio clip sounds wrong?
Tap "Report it" on the quality badge or visit the report page. We verify every report within a week.
