Baolingo: Learn Chinese & HSK

New: on-device AI scores your pinyin, tones, and pronunciation in real time - even offline. Train your ear with dictation, then sound native through shadowing.

Master Mandarin listening and speaking with the two methods serious learners swear by Dictation and Shadowing. Now powered by on-device AI that scores your pinyin, tones, and pronunciation in real time, even offline.

Whether you're starting from zero or pushing toward HSK 9, Baolingo trains the skills test-prep apps skip: catching tones at native speed, writing what you hear in pinyin or hanzi, and shadowing native voices until your rhythm matches theirs.

WHY BAOLINGO • On-device AI: speech recognition and pronunciation scoring run privately on your iPhone. No upload, no waiting. • Built for Mandarin: every drill is tuned to tones, initials, finals, and Hanzi. • HSK 1–9 aligned: measured against HSK 3.0 standards so you always know where you stand. • TOCFL ready: content mapped to Taiwan's TOCFL bands. • Works offline: practice on the subway, on a flight, anywhere.

DICTATION - TRAIN YOUR EAR Listen to natural speech, type what you hear in pinyin or hanzi, and get instant scoring. Our AI flags missed tones and characters and shows you exactly what slipped past - so the next sentence sticks. • 82% of learners report improved listening within one month.

SHADOWING - SPEAK LIKE A NATIVE Mimic native speakers line by line. Record your voice and get detailed feedback down to initials, finals, and tone contour - the same techniques used in linguistics labs, in your pocket. • 75% of learners report higher speaking confidence after three months.

SMART ERROR REVIEW Mistakes become drills. Baolingo automatically resurfaces the tones, characters, and syllables you keep missing, so weak spots turn into wins.
