Teacher Mimi
Thai tutor on PreplyHi, I’m Mimi! I’ll be your friend (not just your teacher) and get you reading, writing and actually speaking Thai, the fun and stress-free way.
Did GorGai help? Buy me a coffee! 🐔
GorGai is free, and it is staying free. No account, no paywall, nothing locked behind a plan. If it got you reading Thai and you fancy chipping in, there is a Ko-fi page. Totally optional, and nothing on the site changes either way!
Buy me a coffee on Ko-fiOpens Ko-fi in a new tab. One-off, no account needed on your side.
Where it actually goes
- Bandwidth. Every letter, word and tone example plays from a sound file stored here rather than being fetched from an outside service each time, so it comes out the instant you tap. A few hundred files, played a lot, is not free to serve.
- Hosting and the domain. Small, but it does not pay itself.
- Time. Every feature on GorGai came from someone writing in to ask for it. More coffee, more features.
Things that will never happen
- A paywall on any of the practice modes.
- An account you have to make before you can use it.
- Selling anything about what you do here. Your progress is saved in your own browser and never reaches us.
- An ad inside the practice area. Not one, ever.
That is the deal, coffee or no coffee. 😊
Free ways to help, if you would rather
Honestly, these are worth just as much:
- Leave a testimonial. It takes a minute and it helps the next person decide whether this is worth their time.
- Tell me what to build next. Every feature here started as one of these.
- Send GorGai to someone who is learning Thai. Word of mouth is how anyone finds it.
- Turn off your ad blocker for gorgai.net. The ads are what keep the lights on, and they never go anywhere near the practice area.
Now go and practise! 🎉
Forty-four consonants, thirty-two vowel forms, real words and the tone rules. All of it free.
