What you get

Everything your Mandarin Chinese needs, in one place

Unlimited conversation in Mandarin Chinese

Talk as long and as often as you like, on up to five topics you choose. No minutes, no credits, no slot to book, no lesson to wait for.

Corrections that become your lesson

Grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation corrected while you speak, one at a time. Keep the ones that matter and discard the rest; after class they come back as feedback, a writing exercise and reading and video suggestions.

Flashcards and six review games

Built from the mistakes you actually made in Mandarin Chinese, not from a generic word list. They update themselves after every class.

Targeted Practice for real situations

Rehearse one situation from start to finish in Mandarin Chinese: an interview, a booking, an appointment, or the phone call you have been putting off.

About Mandarin Chinese

What Mandarin Chinese asks of you

Mandarin has four tones and a neutral one, and the tone is part of the word rather than decoration on it, so it has to be practised out loud from the start. The grammar is lighter than you expect: no conjugation, no cases, no genders. Characters can wait while pinyin, subtitles and slow speech get you talking in the first class.

Start speaking on day one, with subtitles and translations while you need themYour teacher slows down, and speeds up when you are readyCorrections are saved, reviewed and turned into gamesYour teacher remembers what you talked about last time
