Mandarinput removes unnecessary input friction without removing the parts that matter: sound, meaning, word order, and active recall.
Type wo mingtian instead of adding tone marks. You still see and hear accurate Mandarin while focusing on recall and word order.
Learn vocabulary in the sentence it belongs to, so meaning, sound, and Chinese word order stay connected from the beginning.
Finish a sentence, get instant feedback, and keep difficult lines ready in Review whenever you need another pass.
Start by understanding the sentence, then rebuild it, recognize it from sound, follow its rhythm, and say it aloud. Use the full path for new material—or switch to the mode you need.
Watch the words assemble into Chinese order, hear native Mandarin as each word is highlighted, and get a plain-English explanation tied to the sentence on screen. Then continue in Guided Mode to rebuild it yourself.
Guided Mode is the core typing experience: understand the meaning, hear the Mandarin, rebuild the sentence in plain Pinyin, and get instant feedback.
Know what you are about to say before recall begins.
Connect the full sentence with native audio.
Focus on memory and word order—not typing tone marks.
Get clear feedback, then move to the next sentence.
