Audience
Challenge
Thai-learning apps usually assume English as the bridge. Myanmar speakers hit an unnecessary language wall, higher drop-off, and culturally flat examples.
Approach
- 01Designed a Myanmar-first interface and transliteration layer for pronunciation.
- 02Built alphabet + category vocabulary (greetings, food, travel, family) with quiz and speaking practice.
- 03Added TTS audio, progress tracking, and a visual learning-path UX for daily sessions.
- 04Shipped as a complete Flutter MVP instead of a tutorial clone.
Outcomes
- ▸End-to-end Flutter product owned solo — discovery through ship
- ▸Niche bilingual market most edtech ignores (MY → TH)
- ▸Reusable pattern for culturally aware education apps
Thin Thai exists because the market gap is personal: Myanmar speakers learning Thai for work and travel shouldn’t need English as a middleman.
The product includes alphabet lessons, categorized vocabulary, interactive quizzes, TTS pronunciation, and progress reset — with a modern gradient UI and snake-style learning path.
For hiring managers, this is ownership proof: find a gap, design the UX, ship working mobile software.
