ฝนตก ไม่มีเน็ต · When the internet goes

Install before you go.

ติดตั้งก่อนออกไปทุ่งนา — เปิดครั้งแรกตอนมีเน็ต แล้วใช้ต่อได้ตอนฝนตก

Open the practice page once while you have a signal, and the phone keeps it. The word lists, the pictures and the phone's own voices work in the rice field with no internet at all. One thing does not, and we would rather tell you than let you find out in the rain:

Works offlineThe 81 topic lists, the Thai, the pronunciation guides, the printable word lists, and "Listen" — if your phone has an English voice installed (step 2).

Works offlinePloy Hears, the ten-week clinic, after the first open.

Needs internetThe microphone. "Speak" sends your voice to the browser's speech service to be checked, and on an Android phone that runs in the cloud. Offline, the button will not answer. Say the word to your teacher, your mother or your brother instead — that works in any weather.

ComingThe rain pack: every word recorded in a real voice, about 12 MB, one button, so "Listen" no longer depends on the phone's voices. What is coming, month by month →

Three minutes, once, on an Android phone

A web page cannot install voices for you. You have to do this yourself, and then it is done forever.

Open this site on the phone that will go to the field. Tap Practice, open two or three topics. When the phone asks to Add to Home screen, say yes.
Install the voices. Settings → General management → Text-to-speech → Google speech services → Install voice data → download English (United States) and ไทย. About 30 MB each, once.
Turn the internet off and test it. Open the app from the home screen, tap Listen. If you hear the word, you are ready. If not, the voice download has not finished.

iPhone: Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices → English and Thai. Same idea, same three minutes.

On paper: print any topic as a word list before you leave. Paper never loses signal.

Ploy Hears — ten weeks, one phone, forty children.

คลินิกออกเสียง 10 สัปดาห์ ที่ครูเปิดจากมือถือเครื่องเดียวบนจอหน้าห้อง

Sixty of the hundred points in the district Story Telling competition are the English itself — vocabulary, pronunciation, voice. So this is a ten-week clinic on the handful of English sounds Thai speakers actually lose: final consonants, /r/ and /l/, /v/, /th/, the clusters. A teacher opens it on a classroom screen; the class says it together twenty times before anyone says it alone.

No login, nothing stored, and it works without internet after the first open.

Week one, for example

Final /t/ and /d/ — cat, bed, want-ed
The puff on the back of the hand
Chorus, rows, pairs, then one brave child
Ten minutes a day, five days

Look up any English word

The 2,919 words above are the ones we teach you to say. When a word turns up in a book, a song or a homework sheet and nobody in the room knows it, you need somewhere to look. So here are the rest — 82,683 English words, each with a meaning, the Thai where we have it, and a voice that will say it for you.

Free, no login, and your phone only downloads the letters you asked for.

Three steps · สามขั้นตอน

How practicing works.

No login, no score that follows a child home, no pressure. Just a loop that works — and Ploy listens first.
