How it works
A progress dashboard for committed Thai learners

Stop studying Thai.
Start acquiring it.

The layer between you and whatever Thai content you’re already watching — YouTube, podcasts, books. Captions, lookups, sentence mining, and a dashboard that doesn’t lie.

Invite-only while in personal beta. Email tillschlieh@gmail.com to request access.
The number that matters

2,000 hours to comfortable fluency.
Here’s where you’d be after a year.

No tool shows the long road honestly. Ours does. The bar below is the dashboard’s centerpiece — at hour 12, at hour 247, at hour 1,800.

At 1.2 hr/day, 300 hr in ~7 weeks.

Duolingo shows you “Level 12” with no ceiling. LingQ shows you words known with no ceiling. We show you the whole road. It’s humbling and clarifying in equal measure — and we think that’s the only honest thing to do.

How it works

Three steps. That’s the whole product.

01
Watch Thai content.

Any source. Comprehensible Thai, PailinsKitchen, podcasts. We don't own the content — we sit on top of what you already do.

02
Captions, lookups, mining — handled.

Tone-colored captions over YouTube. Hover a word, see its meaning. Double-click to mine a sentence into your SRS deck. One keystroke, no friction.

03
Come back, see the progress.

The dashboard shows hours, comprehension trends, vocabulary growth — and the whole 2,500-hour road. Then it gets out of your way.

What we are not: not a course, not gamified. No streaks, no XP, no mascots, no confetti. We will not push notifications to you when you skip a day. We will not tell you your tone discrimination is “B+”. The dashboard is supposed to feel like opening a journal. Quiet. Yours. Grounded in real numbers.

The first hour is the hardest.
