Best mandarin learning app, worth paying for, but Ide like a bit more customisability. The app is free to try but to progress youll need the yearly basic subscription, the more general apps like duolingo dont really cover chinese very well as theres a lot of added context that needs explaining. To improve Ide really like to be able to turn more features on and off, they kind of have this for pinyin/hanzi but personally I only want to speak/listen for my partner and don't really care to write etc

The app feels like it's alive and they keep adding new content and features I like that! I would like for the path / road to be more diverse in its methodology maybe to keep a bit the element of surprise of what comes next by it not being routinely the same type of exercises in a cyclical way. I find the reviews with funny images so engaging. Great job folks.

Thank you for the feedback! We’ll share your thoughts with the team. If you’re able to, it would also be very helpful if you could describe your suggestions in more detail via the in-app feedback page so we can better understand your concerns and consider improvements more precisely.

I first downloaded this 10 years ago and went back to it today after I became frustrated with duolingo. It's changed alot, obviously "borrowing" UI and methods from duolingo, which are the good parts. However, Hello Chinese is way more effective at teaching the language. It takes time to explain the foundation of what you are learning, lessons are more cohesive, native speakers are used to teach pronunciation. It is better in almost every way, even for the free version. I will likely upgrade

Welcome back to the HelloChinese community! We’ve made many changes over the years. We’ve done extensive research to make our courses more effective, while always staying true to our own teaching style. We’re also so glad you enjoy the videos featuring hundreds of native speakers we’ve carefully selected and worked with.
