Chinese Pronunciation vs ToneLeaf

Chinese Pronunciation is a 28-day Mandarin course: one short lesson a day, about five minutes. • Hear it, pick the word: tone pairs in four voices, Mainland and Taiwan • See every tone as a line, then say it and see your line beside the voice • Your copybook: each finished lesson writes its character • Day 1, then Day 7: record 你好，谢谢 on your first day, again a week later, and hear yourself change • Sounds you miss come back the next day, three days later, then a week later • Studio: five short sentences built on the sounds you still miss, for a situation you choose • Listen: five real sentences a day, free • Every lesson ends with one phrase heard three ways: Mainland, Taiwan and Cantonese • Progress follows you across iPhone, iPad and Mac Lesson 1 is free.

ToneLeaf drills Mandarin tone recall. How it works: Sessions pull characters from HSK or TOCFL vocab. You see the character, tap the tone (1, 2, 3, 4, or neutral), get instant feedback. Each rep takes a couple of seconds. New characters show pronunciation hints and audio. As your recall gets stronger, the hints fade and you answer from memory. Miss one and the hints come back. Spaced repetition: Reviews are scheduled with FSRS-5 (an advanced spaced repetition algorithm), which surfaces each character around the point you'd otherwise forget it. Less time on the stuff you already know. Vocabulary: HSK 1–6 (simplified or traditional) or TOCFL 1–7 (traditional only). Works with pinyin or zhuyin.
