About this app

Stop memorizing random words. Start understanding real Chinese sentences.

Mandarin Mosaic is the only app that tracks your entire vocabulary and shows you sentences with exactly one new word. Every sentence is chosen specifically for you — not random, not generic, but mathematically matched to what you already know.

This is the i+1 method: comprehensible input that actually works.

🎯 HOW IT WORKS

The app knows what words you know. When you learn a new sentence, every word in it is familiar except one. That means you can figure out the new word from context — the way native speakers naturally acquire language.
No setup. No manual card creation. No complexity. Just open the app and start learning.

📖 SENTENCE MINING MADE SIMPLE

Sentence mining is the most effective method for building Chinese fluency — but traditionally it requires hours of manual work with Anki, complex add-ons, and technical setup. Mandarin Mosaic automates the entire process:

Intelligent vocabulary tracking across every word you encounter
Automatic sentence selection matched to your exact level
Spaced repetition that schedules reviews at the perfect time
Active recall testing that builds real production ability

Think of it as Anki's effectiveness with none of the complexity.

💡 WHY SENTENCE MINING?

Research shows that learning words in context produces better retention than isolated flashcards. When you see a new word inside a sentence you mostly understand, your brain naturally acquires both the meaning and the usage. This is Stephen Krashen's comprehensible input theory — and Mandarin Mosaic is the first app to implement it automatically at the sentence level for Chinese.
Where other apps show you random sentences or make you pick your own level, Mandarin Mosaic calculates exactly which sentences match your current knowledge. No guessing. No overwhelm. Just steady, measurable progress.
