Say it wrong,
and “horse” becomes “dog”.

Thai is tonal — the same sound, said five ways, means five different things. Ravela is the only Thai app that hears your tone and shows you if it’s right. Train the thing every other app skips.

มา
maa · mid
“come”
ม้า
máa · high
“horse”
หมา
mǎa · rising
“dog”

Try the tone coach — right here

Pick a tone, hear the native target, then say it. Ravela draws your voice against the target and scores the shape. No app, no signup — this runs entirely in your browser.

มา

Mid tone · “come”
Native target You
First time? Tap ① Calibrate your voice once — it learns your natural pitch range so it can read your tones accurately (everyone’s voice sits differently).
Tip: use headphones and a quiet room. Hum or say the word in one smooth breath.
In the full app, every word you learn is scored like this — so you fix your tones on day one, not year one.
The serious Thai app Duolingo never made.

Built for speaking, not streak-chasing

Everything you need to go from your first สวัสดี to holding a real conversation.

Tone coach

The moat. Say a word and Ravela scores your tone against a native target — the one thing that decides whether Thai people understand you. No other app does this.

Hear every word

Real Thai audio on tap for every word and phrase, with looped-script Thai and clear romanisation — so your ear and your reading grow together.

AI tutor, 24/7

Chat in Thai with a tutor that replies in simple Thai with translations, so you can practise speaking between lessons. Live lessons with a real Thai teacher coming soon.

Real-world missions

Take your Thai off the screen — order food, greet a neighbour, ask a price — and earn points for actually using it out there.

Earn certificates

Pass a level test and earn a shareable certificate — proof you’ve gone from complete beginner toward real conversation.

“I started learning Thai the normal way — private lessons, because my friends and family speak it and I was tired of smiling and nodding at the dinner table. The lessons were great. The problem was everything between them. I’d learn something on Tuesday and lose it by Friday, and not one app could tell me the thing that actually matters in Thai — that my tones were wrong. They all just taught me to tap.

So my tutor Pook and I built the one we wished existed. She brought the teaching, I brought the tech, and together we made the Thai app we couldn’t find: one that actually hears your tones and corrects them, keeps you consistent between lessons, and takes you further than any other app bothers to.”
