Frequently Asked Questions
What is glot.it?
glot.it is a free, open-source Thai-learning app with AI pronunciation scoring and a pitch-contour tone trainer. It teaches Thai through 162 structured lessons plus music, podcasts, and guided conversation practice — in your browser and as an iOS and Android app.
Is glot.it free?
Yes. All 162 lessons are open from day one, with no paywall. An optional Supporter tier adds extra AI chats, but everything you need to learn Thai is free.
How does glot.it work?
Each lesson runs five phases: learn vocabulary, read it in context, listen to native audio, speak with instant feedback, and drill with a mixed test. Your word bank tracks every word you study and brings it back right before you forget it.
Do I need an account to start?
No. Open the app and start your first lesson right away — no sign-up. Signing in later with Google, Apple, or email keeps your progress across devices.
How does glot.it teach Thai tones?
Thai has five tones: mid, low, falling, high, and rising. glot.it records your voice and shows your pitch contour next to a native speaker's, so you can see exactly where your tone slipped and fix it.
Does glot.it work offline?
Yes. Lessons work offline in the mobile app and the installable web app, so you can keep studying without a connection.
What platforms does glot.it run on?
Any modern browser as an installable web app, plus native apps on the App Store for iOS and Google Play for Android.
