Learn Chinese with Music & HSK

Learn Chinese with music — real Mandarin songs, with synced lyrics, pinyin and instant word meanings.

Every Chinese song comes with time-synced lyrics that highlight line by line as they play. Tap any word for its pinyin, tone and English meaning. Tap any line to hear it again. Nothing to set up — press play and follow along.

LEARN CHINESE THROUGH SONGS

• Synced lyrics — the line highlights as it's sung, with pinyin above every character and an English translation below
• Tap a word — pinyin, meaning, HSK level and example sentences, without leaving the song
• Grammar, line by line — an AI breakdown of any Mandarin sentence: its structure, each part with its pinyin, and how to reuse the pattern in your own speech
• Ask follow-ups — 20 free questions a day to an AI Chinese tutor that already knows the line you're looking at
• Your vocabulary list — save Chinese words as you meet them and review them later; words you look up repeatedly save themselves
• Playlists — build a list of the songs you're working through
• Request a song — if a Chinese song you love isn't in the library yet, ask for it and we'll add it with full synced lyrics

PINYIN AND TONES

Every character carries its pinyin and tone mark directly above the lyric, on the beat. Reading pinyin while you hear the tone is the fastest way to stop guessing tones — and you can drop the pinyin the moment you don't need it.

HSK VOCABULARY THAT STICKS

Every word you tap shows its HSK level, so you can see where a song sits before you commit to it. And songs repeat: a chorus hands you the same Chinese sentence five times in three minutes, which is exactly the repetition vocabulary needs and exactly what flashcards can't make you want to do.

MANDOPOP, C-POP AND DRAMA THEMES

The library is Mandarin pop — ballads, chart songs and TV drama themes, with new songs added on request. The Chinese in a pop lyric is far closer to how people actually speak than most course material, which is why a song teaches usable Mandarin faster than a textbook dialogue.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Anyone who already listens to Chinese music and wants to understand the lyrics
• Learners at any level — pinyin and an English meaning sit over every character, so a song is readable before you can read hanzi
• HSK learners who want listening practice that isn't a textbook
• Heritage speakers getting back into reading hanzi
