Chinese Vocab That Actually Sticks

Well done!

very clear layout and simple UI

The tone trainer helps a lot

Learning tones was my hardest part, but the Foundations course with the tone trainer made it clearer. I can hear the native audio, then read and tap through pinyin while the app tracks my pitch. My pronunciation feels more consistent after a week of practice.
