## What is Learn Chinese News?

新闻学中文 · Learn Chinese News turns today's real Chinese-language news into your daily reading lesson.

Pick a source and a topic, open any headline, and read the article one sentence at a time with an English translation right beside it. Tap a sentence to hear it read aloud, see pinyin above every character, and save the words you want to remember. It's comprehensible input for Mandarin — with material that's current, real, and worth reading.

WHY LEARNERS LIKE IT
• Real news, not textbook dialogues — headlines from major Chinese-language outlets, updated daily
• Sentence-aligned bilingual reading — Chinese and English, line by line, so you're never lost
• Pinyin on every character — toggle it on or off as you improve
• Tap to listen — natural read-aloud for any sentence, entirely on-device
• Instant Simplified ⇄ Traditional — switch the whole app with one tap (简体 / 繁體)
• Stacked or side-by-side layout — read the way that suits you
• Automatic vocabulary — every article surfaces key words with pinyin and definitions; save the ones you want
• Bring your own article — paste any Chinese news URL and read it the same way
• No account, no sign-up — open the app and start reading

HOW IT WORKS
Choose from sources across the Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and beyond, browse the latest headlines (with English titles), and tap to open. Each article is translated and split into aligned sentences so you can read, listen, and build vocabulary at your own pace. Your preferences and saved words stay on your device.
