We took out the three things that make people quit Chinese — so “just one more sentence” actually happens.
Type Pinyin without tone marks, from your first sentence to your last. You still see and hear every tone — you just never have to type one.
Instead of drilling dead cards, you snap together real sentences you could actually say — so they stick.
Every sentence is a small, finishable win. Five minutes a day quietly turns into real Chinese.
One signature mode you won’t find anywhere else — plus four more for typing, listening, reading along, and speaking.
Sit back and watch a sentence build itself. The word blocks slide into Chinese word order in front of you, an AI tutor explains why in plain English, and every word lights up the moment it’s read aloud — in both a native Chinese voice and a clear English voice. It’s the closest thing to a tutor reading over your shoulder.
See the English meaning, hear the Chinese, then type the Pinyin — the most supported way to build a sentence.
Hear the Chinese only, then type the Pinyin. Trains your listening with no meaning shown.
See the meaning, read along, and listen — no typing. Great for absorbing sentences without pressure.
Listen, then say it aloud. Best for pronunciation and natural rhythm.
The core loop you start in — Guided mode, and exactly what the demo lets you try. See it, hear it, type it, and want one more round.
Each round opens with the English meaning, so you always know what you’re about to say.
A native voice reads the sentence — and each word as it lands — so sound and meaning connect from the start.
Type toneless Pinyin and watch the blocks snap into place. Small words become phrases, phrases become a real sentence.
Instant check, the sentence locks in, and the next one is a single tap away. That’s the loop that’s hard to stop.
Prefer no typing, or audio only? Other modes remix the same loop — Watch, Dictation, Read-Along and Speak.
Every session feeds a daily streak, a check-in calendar, and a progress curve that only goes up. Small wins stack into a habit you actually want to keep.
16 min average session — people come for one sentence and stay for ten.
