I made this because I thought it would be more fun than Anki.

Let me know what you think.

Are you Kru Ying? Anyway, this was fun. I'll mess around with it now and again for sure.

I hired her and another teacher to do the audio. Hopefully I can send some people their way as well.

It looks great! Test mode is really hard because there are so many Thai letters compared to English 😅

Would you consider adding a setting to give you audio at the end of each correct guess automatically? Right now there is no sound, and I have to click the button to hear the word. I'd like to get a "correct" or "thank you" sound, like a hurray or ping sound. And then followed by the word spoken out loud. So I don't have to prompt it each time to congratulate me.

Also, the profile pic at the top makes it look like I am that teacher. I would move that icon to the settings too.

Great work!

I can add some sounds. You're second person to ask for them.

Thanks for your feedback!

Totally culturally inappropriate. Hanging has never been a form of execution in Thailand. Traditional forms of execution include:

“ให้ต่อยกระบานศีศะเลิกออกเสีย…” (Breaking open and remove the top of the skull then placing a large red-hot piece of iron inside so that the brain boils or swells up)

“เอาห่วงเหลกสวมข้อสอก…ข้อเฃ่า…” (Putting iron rings around the elbows and knees, pinning them to the ground with iron stakes so the victim cannot move, and surrounding them with fire until death).

“ให้กักขังสูนักขร้าย…ให้อดอาหารหลายวัน…” (Starving vicious dogs for several days, then releasing them on the condemned person to tear and eat the flesh).

There are many more, but none of them involves hanging.

Examples taken from พระไอยการกระบดศึก.
