About this app

Learn to read, write and speak Mandarin — with live radio from China, a private
on-device AI tutor, 680+ characters with stroke order, graded stories, 18 games and full HSK 1–3 mock exams with certificates.

Everything is free for your first 30 days — no signup, no card details, nothing to
cancel. Explore the whole app from the moment you install. After your free month, keep everything with a small monthly or yearly subscription, or make it yours forever with a single lifetime purchase.

LIVE CHINESE RADIO
Tune into real stations from Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong — news, music and talk, exactly as native listeners hear it. Every station is labelled by listening difficulty (music is the gentle on-ramp; news is a workout for advanced ears), and audio keeps playing while you study elsewhere in the app.

HSK CERTIFICATION TESTS
Take full-length mock HSK 1, 2 or 3 exams — questions across character recognition, pinyin matching, translation, fill-in-the-blank, grammar and listening. Finish with a detailed report: score breakdowns by skill, personalised strengths and weaknesses, targeted exercise recommendations, and a printable certificate.

AI CHINESE TUTOR — ON YOUR DEVICE
Chat with a friendly Mandarin tutor that runs privately on your device — no account, no internet needed once set up. It teaches in English with Hanzi and Pinyin, practises conversation, explains grammar and gently corrects your mistakes. Prefer a bigger cloud model? Connect your own AI provider key. Or use the built-in offline tutor for instant lessons on any device.

What’s new

Six fixes from a learner's list — thank you.

• Character Combo: tap a chosen character to put it back. A wrong first pick is no longer final.
• More audio: HSK lesson Practice, Sentence Builder, Radical Hunt catches and Pinyin Typing all have a listen button.
• Translate into Chinese: a word revealed by a hint stays tappable after you clear or remove it.
• Stroke Order Challenge: the last stroke always draws.
• No more random word spoken on the home screen at launch.
