*PUBLISHED BY MTC The Mandarin Training Center (MTC) was founded in the autumn of 1956 for teaching Chinese as a second language. Currently, the MTC is the largest and the most renowned Chinese language center, with around 1,700 students from more than 70 countries enrolled each academic quarter (three months.) MTC students come from different cultures and language backgrounds. They share the common goal of learning to communicate in Chinese effectively--some for employment; some for interests in Chinese culture and history. Many students have never learned Chinese before they enroll at the MTC, whereas some are good enough to start at intermediate and advanced levels. No matter what your motivation for learning Chinese is or the level of your Chinese, the MTC will do all it can to help you make rapid progress. Official website: mtc.ntnu.edu.tw/eng/

Recent reviews

App functions enough to offer learning. But the books are expensive. One book is broken down into three at $12.99 each. Better getting the entire book and audio online for less.

I found the DangDai app is a way better tool for studying my textbook lessons than Google Play. It’s better organized and optimized to the textbooks, so I get stuff done quicker and more effectively.

I have been using the DangDai series of textbooks and purchased this app to supplement. The navigation and user interface is excellent. The curriculum is very very good. The audio for each chapter is acted out in a clear and lively manner. This course is very excellent but the option to have a more natural script font would be helpful! Also on my wishlist is a flashcard feature. Thank you this app is great.
