Chinese Pronunciation

Real Mandarin, Taiwanese Mandarin and Cantonese, read by native voices — with pinyin, Jyutping and explanations in your language. Start free.

Same Chinese. So why does a Taiwanese drama sound nothing like your textbook?

Because there isn't one Chinese to learn. There's the Mandarin of Beijing, the softer Mandarin of Taipei, and Cantonese — a different language wearing the same characters. This app lets you hear all three, one sentence at a time.

Every sentence is a real one: ordering at a breakfast stall, arguing with a taxi app, turning down an invitation without offending anyone. Under each line sits its pinyin or Jyutping, and a one-line note on the thing a textbook never tells you — the tone trap, the word Taiwan uses instead, why 慢走 is not an instruction.

Listen. Say it back. Let the score tell you the truth.
