I think this is a great idea! I am also working on an app and we've just added a similar feature.

It's illustration heavy picture book with multiple difficulty levels and recordings by native speakers for each line of text. The goal is for students to be able to learn languages while they read. Ideally, without having to translate words - though we do provide a lookup tool. Each line in the story is read by a native speaker, and the reader has the option to record themselves and play it back to check their pronunciation.

Our first story "Ari & Chali go to the Market" teaches Thai classifiers and is perfect for someone who has completed Reading Thai Made easy or is just learning how to read.

We hope to develop more content like this for Thai, as well as other languages.
