USER REVIEW: “***** Not your typical Chinese grammar app” : ‘At the time of writing I have 2060 consecutive days on Duolingo. During that time I’ve appreciated Duo for the vocabulary but found it very difficult to learn grammar. I’ve got a couple of grammar books (that I don’t have the time to properly study) and I’ve tried several grammar apps (that are characteristically poorly written, poorly explained and generally very unhelpful). I’ve learned more Chinese grammar from this app in three days than I have in the past five years. If you’re serious about understanding Chinese, this is the best £25 you’ll spend." -- Review by user JezDavis – Aug 26, 2023 * 'Bootstrap Chinese Grammar' provides the solid grounding in grammar basics that is the key to mastering Chinese as a second language. * Grammatical rules and concepts are clearly explained in order.
