IV. Detailed Product Function Introduction:
① Skills Training: Following the rules and system of language learning, the program progresses from learning pinyin, recognizing Chinese characters, learning words, learning sentences, and reading short passages, providing step-by-step language learning with demonstration sounds and tongue position diagrams. Supporting two learning modes—free practice and challenge mode—the app combines free practice with user-selected practice time. Challenge mode increases the learning intensity, guiding users through levels according to a set pattern. The results page provides a score report displaying sample pronunciations, recordings, and scores for individual words, making learning more engaging. The vocabulary section categorizes words by context for better language learning, facilitating understanding and memorization.
② The app includes mock tests and quick tests for both elementary and adult learners. Elementary school students (grades 1-6) are categorized into three difficulty levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced), gradually increasing in difficulty to better align with language learning patterns. The adult version's quick test, based on the new syllabus, assesses Mandarin proficiency in just 3 minutes.
③ Typing Practice: Integrating challenges into pinyin typing practice, the syllabus vocabulary for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels is presented as three difficulty levels of typing games. After testing the user's typing speed, the game determines success or failure, allowing for retrying. The results page provides sample pronunciations and correct pinyin and tones for secondary memorization and learning.
④ Chinese Culture: Presenting a combination of cultural videos covering four sections: Chinese recitation, Chinese poetry, Chinese idioms, and Chinese calligraphy, allowing users to learn about culture while simultaneously improving their pronunciation and vocabulary.
