MidMando

A Cantonese course, the HSK grammar syllabus, graded stories to read and hear, and sentences to type from memory. • A Cantonese course: its own graded words with Jyutping, sentences, Cantopop songs, stories, idioms and chats with 布布. Each course keeps its own progress, and any word's page shows the same word in the other language. Settings → Course. • Grammar: all 529 grammar points of the HSK syllabus, with examples, taught in each class after its words, with a drill to put a sentence in order. • Stories: 21 stories written for each HSK band from 1 to 7–9 using only that band's words, and seven classics of modern Chinese literature, read aloud chapter by chapter. • Type it out: short sentences built from characters you've started, typed back on the Pinyin keyboard, copied or from memory. • Your reading: share a page from Safari or WeChat, or bring in a web address, an EPUB or a text file, and read it with pinyin and English on or off. • Traditional characters, as written in Taiwan or in Hong Kong, with their stroke order. Settings → Characters. • Speaking: every class has a Speak part. Say the word and see which tones you hit, drawn against the recording. • Study a song line by line, then sing it from memory. • The pinyin table: every syllable in all its tones. • Every marked question in the practice papers now says why its answer is right. • Conversation mode in Translate: two microphones, both sides translated. • Spotlight, Siri, a notice when words come due, Home Screen shortcuts and Handoff to your iPad or Mac. • A regrouped Library, and one page for your study plan and skill focus. • Reviews spaced properly: a word counts once a day, and words you keep getting right wait longer. • Version numbers are now the year and month: this is 26.11, and your iPhone, iPad and Mac share it.
