Thai is a tonal language .. it's virtually impossible to learn the proper pronunciation from just written words.

There are enough YouTube channels out there with contents which has both anglicized writing and Thai speaking that would be better venue to learn basic Thai.

nope english to thai is not ok also.
must be the siambu managed to guess your meaning correctly :o

until now translation apps still cmi for anything that requires language context.

for simple nouns eg apple, pineaple, sure no problem.
but for words with different meanings eg miss (can mean lady, can mean didn't hit target, can mean didn't catch the bus or train, can mean longing for someone), the vast majority of translation apps n even PC programs turn out garbage :(

all said, 2 english-thai programs stand head and above all others:
Thai2English and Paiboon's Thai & English Dictionary by Benjawan Poomsan Becker.
the former has a good free translation on their website and also a PC windows program worth every cent i paid for. the latter has both PC windows and android app version on top of book version (just dictionary, no translator. choose the proper word in your context from the various clearly listed meanings) mrs Benjawan Poomsan Becker also has arguably the best thai language course for english speakers in the form of 3 related books (with CDs).
