Can Do: Follow Instructions

An instruction in Thai, and a room to carry it out in. Open the window, close the cupboard — comprehension you demonstrate by doing rather than by translating.

No signup. Ten instructions.

Today’s Plan uses this as a comprehension check that does not involve choosing an English sentence from a list.

Understanding you can act on

01

You prove you understood by doing it

No multiple choice and no translation. The instruction plays, you act on the room, and whether you understood is simply whether the right thing happened — which is how comprehension gets tested outside a classroom.

02

Household objects, because that is where commands live

Windows, doors, cupboards, the fridge. The vocabulary is deliberately domestic: these are the nouns that appear in instructions, and the verbs that go with them are the ones you will hear first from a person rather than an app.

Each object carries its state, so "close the window" is only correct if the window was open — the drill checks the outcome, not the tap.
