fantastic app

this app is amazing!!! so many incredibly useful functions, beautifully designed too! An absolute must for anybody who wants to learn and improve their chinese

Beste App zum Chinesisch lernen

Für zwischendurch. Neben dem eigentlichen chinesisch lernen in Gruppen und Unterrichtseinheiten. Es ist wirklich vielseitig, schreiben, lesen, hören, sprechen. Es gibt viele Beispiele und die Geschichten sind interessant, ebenso nützlich, weil sie alltagsnahe Bausteine haben. Diese App hat eine Spende verdient. Ich danke allen Mitarbeitern, die ihr Wissen weitergeben.

Very good app!

One of the best apps ive used so far you can actually go back to previous lessons and review

App not opening

After signing up the app closes every time I try to open it, I’ve restarted my phone and reinstalled the app, still it crashes :(

Favorite Chinese learning app

I just started using the app today and I already love it! I used HelloChinese before and then they suddenly wanted me to pay so i looked everywhere for another app until i found this one. Although i have to "redo" everything i learned on other apps it's been really fun and the dictionary feature is amazing. This is genuinely the best layout for any language learning app that I've ever seen and apparently it's free?? This app is so underrated.
