HearMandarin teaches Mandarin the way you will meet it: by ear first. Every word, sentence and story comes with clear Mandarin audio, and each screen asks you to listen before it shows you the characters. What is inside • Eight rooms: Tones, HSK words, Survival phrases, Stories, Slang, Grammar, Radicals and a daily listening round. • 220 graded stories across seven bands, read line by line with pinyin and English on demand. • 11,000+ HSK 3.0 words with example sentences and stroke order. • 185 slang entries with register, channel and freshness notes, plus 12 "how to say it" guides and 8 side-by-side comparisons of words people mix up. • Four practice games: Tone contrasts, Picture match, Build the sentence and Draw the tone. • Review that surfaces what is due, and a progress page that shows your week. Works offline once its audio packs are downloaded, and every audio pack is free. No account, no ads, no tracking. HearMandarin Pro is a one-time purchase: audio, listen-first mode and quizzes for every story beyond Band 4, the complete 720-question test bank with explanations, Anki-ready exports, printable word books and continuous listening through each band.
