NiNowβ We learn how you learn Welcome to the first AI-Native language learning app for English speakers learning Mandarin Chinese! Are you stagnating, not sure where to start, or tired of the same cheesy content in other apps? So were we, that's why we created NiNow. NiNow is built around conversations, and builds and tracks your knowledge along the way. We tailor the experience to your needs and interests, whether it's landing a job, connecting with family, or just challenging yourself. Learning Chinese is particularly hard for English speakers, and the hurdles that come with understanding tones, reading an entirely different character system, and speaking effectively can make it feel like giving up is the only option. We're here to fix that, and bring the world together a little more. You'll meet Coco, your always-ready AI tutor who can help you with more than just rote vocabulary study. She understands your level, goals, and learning style and constantly adapts to your needs! Learning a language is about more than just memorizing wordsβ it's about connecting to new people and cultures. Whatever your goals are for learning Chinese, Coco will guide you on the fastest path. She can help you navigate learning vocabulary, cultural nuances, trending slang, and anything else you need to learn to reach your goals. Not everyone has a chance to be immersed in the Chinese language, and finding materials that are suitable for your level, engaging, and tailored toward your needs has not been possible before. Our team of expert educators has built an entirely new experience around how people learn fastest, get over hurdles, and stay consistent in their improvement of learning Chinese based on years of practical experience.
