Does Rosetta Stone Teach Thai?
No. The App Store listing for Rosetta Stone Sapphire, its newest app, names 25 languages, including Vietnamese and Tagalog, and Thai isn't one of them. Rosetta Stone's lessons, some only 5 minutes long, cover reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Its TruAccent tool listens while you speak and tells you right away how your pronunciation sounds, and its Chat Missions let you practice conversations such as ordering at a restaurant.
Bubblegum has a Thai Alphabet course, and LingoDeer's Thai course has an Alphabet section. Our best apps to learn Thai also covers Thai tutors and language-exchange apps.

Thai Lessons Written for You
Bubblegum
For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Thai. You learn from Thai you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.
Tell Poppy, your AI tutor, why you're learning Thai, and she writes lessons for that at your level. When a word or a tone confuses you, ask her about it while you read. If the letters are new to you, Bubblegum's Thai Alphabet course teaches every consonant and vowel, along with the tone rules.
When you finish a lesson about ordering street food, the next one Poppy wrote for you is already waiting. The trade-off is that Bubblegum's lesson audio doesn't stop and wait for you to answer. For lessons that pause while you say your answer out loud, Pimsleur below is the better fit.
- Poppy writes Thai lessons about what you want to do, like ordering street food or chatting with a coworker.
- Talk with Poppy in Thai in live voice chat.
- Words you save show up again in later lessons through Regenerative Review™, and you can export them to Anki as flashcards.
- Clear, expressive AI voices read every lesson aloud, with a different voice for each speaker.
- A new custom lesson costs us real money to make, so your first one is free, and Bubblegum Pro gives you unlimited custom lessons. The lesson library is free for everyone, because we believe everyone should be able to learn.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Thai app should a beginner choose?
If you are serious about learning Thai, start with Bubblegum. Poppy writes lessons at your level about things you like. Or start with LingoDeer if you'd like a course that explains Thai grammar in order, with an alphabet section.
Will Rosetta Stone add Thai?
Rosetta Stone's App Store listing and website, checked on October 15, 2026, list 25 languages without Thai. We don't guess at its plans.
Do I need to read Thai script to use these apps?
No. Pimsleur's lessons are audio, so you can start speaking before you read Thai. Learning the script early still helps, because Thai letters tell you which tone a word has. For reading and listening at your level after that, see our Thai comprehensible input apps.
Is Bubblegum free?
Yes. The lesson library is free for everyone, because we believe everyone should be able to learn. It holds lessons that other learners asked Poppy for. A new custom lesson costs us real money to make, so your first one is free, and Bubblegum Pro gives you unlimited custom lessons.
