Built differently — three things every other app misses

Most apps drill isolated vocab. We teach you to use chunks of real conversation. From day one.

🗣

Situational chunks, not flashcards

Order food. Get directions. Bargain at a market. Every lesson is a real scenario — vocab + dialogue + practice, all in one place.

🎧

Three audio modes — your choice

Chinese only. Chinese → English. English → Chinese. Pick how you want to learn each session. Slow down to 0.7×, loop 3× / 5× / ∞.

🧠

SRS practice that won't let you forget

Star tricky cards. The app schedules reviews based on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve — see them right before you'd forget.

By the end of Lesson 12 you can…

请问,地铁站在哪里?
Ask for directions politely
麻烦给我一份炒饭,不要辣。
Order at a Chinese restaurant
太贵了!便宜一点。
Bargain in the market
师傅,麻烦去机场。
Talk to a Beijing taxi driver
我对这个过敏。
Tell a doctor what hurts
你周末有空吗?
Make plans with a new friend

Common questions

Do I need any Chinese background?

Zero. Lesson 0 covers pronunciation. Lesson 1 starts with 你好 (hello). Pinyin is shown beside every Chinese word — you don't need to read characters.

Will I be able to read Chinese characters after?

Not exhaustively — this is a SPEAKING course. You'll recognize the ~230 characters you've practiced. To master reading/writing, pair this with a character-focused product later.

How does the activation code work?

Buy on Gumroad → you get an email + receipt page with your code. Visit the activate page and paste it. The app unlocks on this browser for life. Lose access? Re-paste your code anywhere — codes are reusable on your devices.

What if my Chinese sounds wrong?

Every audio is native-recorded. You can play at 0.7× to slow it down, loop ∞ to drill, and shadow it line-by-line. Pronunciation feedback (AI) is on the roadmap.
