About

Most people studying Chinese can read more than they can say. Liao fixes that with the smallest possible habit: three minutes of real conversation, every day. HOW IT WORKS 1. Talk for just three minutes. Open Liao and start speaking with an AI conversation partner about your weekend, your job, what you ate — real topics, in real time. 2. See what you actually said. Liao shows you the sentence you spoke and the way a native speaker would have said it, with a short explanation of why. 3. Learn one thing well. Every conversation ends with a two-minute lesson built from your own mistakes — not a generic lesson plan. PINYIN FIRST You don't need to read characters to use Liao. Every phrase leads with pinyin, so you can start speaking on day one. Characters sit underneath as a reference for when you're ready. THREE WAYS TO SAY IT The same idea sounds different at dinner, in an interview, and in a group chat. Liao shows you all three: Natural — how people actually talk day to day Professional — for interviews, meetings, and formal settings Casual — the slang your friends use, with notes on when not to use it BUILT FOR THE HABIT • A three-minute daily goal that's short enough to actually keep • Streaks that track the days you showed up • Friends who can see you practiced today, and you can see them • Saved phrases you can revisit and review anytime • Full history of every conversation and every piece of feedback WHY THREE MINUTES Because thirty minutes is the goal you skip. Three minutes is the one you keep — and speaking a little every day beats an hour of flashcards you forget by Friday. Liao is for beginners who study Chinese but don't often speak a sentence out loud, intermediate learners stuck at "I can speak basic phrases but I want to sound more local," and heritage speakers who understand everything but hesitate to answer. A note on AI: your conversations are generated by AI and can occasionally be imperfect. Treat corrections as guidance from a patient practice partner, not a textbook.
