We ask why before we invest our time, energy, and resources in anything that takes real effort.
For me, the “why” behind Thai Copilot came from a simple frustration: I wanted to learn Thai quickly and efficiently as an expat living in Thailand, and the usual methods weren’t helping.
I joined a Thai class expecting steady progress. Instead, I sat through lessons that felt slow, unfocused, and not very useful in real conversations. After several weeks, I still couldn’t say much more than a few basic phrases. It made me ask myself: Is there a better way to learn Thai, especially for expats who don’t have hours to study every day?
I set a personal rule: no more than 15 minutes a day. If a system couldn’t help me improve within that constraint, it wasn’t practical for my life.
That pushed me to start automating my own learning. I built small tools, flashcards with audio, quick speaking prompts, and little scripts that helped me gain velocity. They weren’t fancy, but they worked far better than any class I’d taken.
At some point I realised these tools shouldn’t stay on my laptop. Other people, especially expats, beginners, and anyone who wants to learn Thai efficiently could benefit from a faster, simpler approach.
That’s Thai Copilot - a Thai learning app built from the ground up to help you speak Thai quickly. It began as a side project to solve my own problem, but it’s becoming a full product aimed at helping people speak Thai now(in less than 10-15 minutes), not someday.
This is just the beginning. I’m building Thai Copilot for myself, for the expat community, and for anyone who wants to learn a new language without wasting time.
Let’s see how far we can take it.
