Learn Chinese - Easy Learning

Learn to understand and speak Mandarin from the very first lesson. 75 lessons, 328 everyday phrases, and every new word practised three times so it sticks.

Learn to speak Mandarin Chinese — starting with your ears and your voice, not a textbook.

This app teaches you to understand and say real things from the very first lesson. No characters to memorize. No writing drills. Just listening, speaking, and the sounds that make Mandarin work.

WHAT YOU LEARN • 75 short lessons in 25 units that build on each other, from "hello" to shopping, directions and simple conversations • 328 everyday phrases — greetings, names, family, numbers, food, feelings, travel and more • Every new word comes with a picture, its pinyin, its meaning and its sound

BUILT SO YOU REMEMBER Hearing a word once is not learning it. Every new word is asked back three times in the lesson that teaches it — by ear and by meaning — and the Review tab brings it back on later days, right before you would forget it.

TONES, TAUGHT PROPERLY Mandarin has four tones, and getting one wrong changes the word. Tones are taught from the first lesson, with drills for hearing the difference before you make it yourself.

SPEAKING AT CHECKPOINTS Every third lesson is a checkpoint: nothing on screen to copy, just you saying what you have learned out loud. Prefer not to speak right now? Quiet mode lets you tap instead.

NO CHARACTERS REQUIRED The course runs on pinyin — the romanized spelling of the sounds — so you can start speaking on day one. Characters can be switched on in settings if you are curious.

GENTLE BY DESIGN Short lessons, plain language, nothing timed and no lives to lose, so younger learners can go at their own pace.

LEARN OFFLINE All lessons and audio live on your device — no connection needed to learn.
