Hugo Bonnome is the co-founder of Speekeo, a language learning platform designed to help foreigners learn and speak practical Thai without needing to start by learning the Thai script. As a software engineer and product builder, he works on developing Speekeo's learning experience, content, and tools around the goal of making spoken Thai more accessible to everyday learners.

As a French digital nomad who has spent time living and travelling in Thailand and Southeast Asia, Hugo has experienced firsthand the challenges foreigners face when learning Thai. His approach to language learning focuses on practical vocabulary, real-life conversations, repetition, and building the confidence to actually use the language.

On Speekeo, Hugo writes about learning Thai, practical Thai vocabulary and expressions, language learning methods, and the tools and strategies that can help learners progress faster and speak with more confidence.
