ToneDeck: Learn Chinese Tones

Most apps teach Mandarin tones once, in lesson one, then never again. That's why learners plateau. ToneDeck is built around the one skill the others skip: your ear for the four tones. Say mā with a falling pitch and you've called your mother a scolding. In Mandarin, tone is meaning, and the only way to get it is to train it. WHAT YOU GET • Tone ear-training - minimal-pair drills (mā / má / mǎ / mà) with pitch contours, plus a listen-and-guess quiz that scores your accuracy per tone. This is the muscle Duolingo never builds. • Pronunciation scoring - say a line and get scored on each syllable and your tones, not just whether you said the right word. • A guided beginner course - themed HSK 1 lessons that teach the words in context, with the grammar you actually need (questions, measure words, 是/有, 了) and built-in practice. • 5,500+ words - the full HSK 1-6 vocabulary plus the 1,000 most common words, every one tap-to-hear in a premium neural voice, with pinyin always coloured by tone. • 60+ real conversations - two-voice dialogues across everyday topics; play any line and check your own pronunciation. • Spaced repetition - the proven SM-2 algorithm (the one behind Anki) reschedules each word right before you'd forget it. • Stay on track - daily goals, streaks, XP, and achievements keep you coming back. Free to start. Learn the HSK 1 essentials, the full tone trainer, and daily reviews for free. ToneDeck Pro unlocks every deck (all 5,500+ words), unlimited reviews, all conversations, and pronunciation scoring, all synced to your account across your devices. Built for people serious about actually speaking Mandarin. ToneDeck Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, offered monthly or yearly with a 7-day free trial.
