## Description

Chinese characters look arbitrary. They are not, and the difference is why most people quit.

BaoBao Talk gives you a system. Every character becomes a small scene: an actor who carries its sound, a place that carries its ending, and a setting coloured by its tone. Learn those parts once and they work for every character you meet afterwards, so the hundredth costs less effort than the tenth.

THE MEMORY SYSTEM
• 74 building blocks: 55 actors, 14 places, 5 tone settings
• Every character gets a scene made from them, written for you
• Rewrite any of it in your own words, or attach your own picture
• Rename any actor to someone you actually know, and it updates everywhere
• Drill the parts on their own, so the sounds come back instantly

A COMPLETE HSK 1 COURSE
• 28 themed units, from greetings to ordering food
• 300 characters, the full HSK 3.0 Level 1 set
• Each unit builds on the last, so nothing arrives out of nowhere

WRITE EVERY CHARACTER
• Animated stroke order for all 300
• Trace it yourself and get checked, stroke by stroke
• Components broken out, so you see the parts before the whole

TONES AND PINYIN, PROPERLY
• All four tones plus the neutral tone, with human recordings
• Tone colours run through the whole app, so you see the tone before you read it
• Every initial and final as a tappable tile: build any syllable and hear it

SPEAK AND BE UNDERSTOOD
• Speaking exercises score what you actually said
• See your attempt written back in characters and pinyin
• Runs on your device, so nothing is sent anywhere

REVIEWS THAT SCHEDULE THEMSELVES
• FSRS, a modern spaced repetition algorithm, picks what you see each day
• Open the app, clear what is due, and the timing is handled
• Mastery levels show what is solid and what is shaky

LISTEN EVERY DAY
• A new two-minute dialogue each day
• Written to use only the vocabulary you have already learned
• Replay any of the last 30 days

GRAMMAR WITHOUT THE JARGON
• The six sentence patterns HSK 1 is built on
• Colour-coded subject, verb, object and adjective
• Drills built from words already in the course

The memory system is designed to keep working well past HSK 1. The course covers HSK 1 today, and the building blocks are already in place for what comes next.

Free to start. No ads, ever.

BaoBao Plus unlocks the full course and unlimited daily practice, monthly or yearly, with a free trial on both.
