This application helped me so much with learning a new language in small and simple ways I can use everyday. Thank you JW Language!

Thank you for this amazing tool to learn! I am learning Chinese Mandarin and noticed with the Grammar section there was no pinyin provided for the characters. Listening is very helpful, but to easily work on my pronunciation, it would be helpful to have pinyin readily available. Otherwise, I would have to use an external tool to look up the characters each time I forget a character. Thank you for considering!
