Hidden Gem!

It’s like Duolingo but better in some ways, many features on here would be paywalled on any other app. Very happy so far

Hands down the best Chinese learning app!

6 years ago, I was drawn in by their slogan—"10 mins a day to fluency in 3 months"—and it actually worked! I stopped using it after completing the course and getting busy.

I returned 2 months ago to find a massive content update. Jumping ahead took some adjustment, but the program has improved drastically. Truly the best app I’ve ever used!
