About

ChatNative

Features
Read full description

Learn Chinese through real conversations, not flashcards. ChatNative matches you with language partners and keeps the chat readable. When a word is new, a short translation sits under it so you can stay in the conversation instead of jumping out to a dictionary. Tap any word to mark it unknown, recognised, or known. As you learn, the extra help fades. Word help that stays in the chat Unknown words show a translation underneath — Chinese keeps pinyin Colour cues show what’s new, seen before, recognised, or known Tap a word for a definition and example in context Long-press to mark a whole phrase as one item Check grammar before you send, or translate a full sentence when you need it Hold to send a voice message, then read the transcript Meet people who want to practise Turn on 'Looking' to join the partner pool Each day you get a few people who speak the language you’re learning and are learning yours You choose who to message - there is no hidden ranking New chats can suggest icebreakers from both bios and interests Speak, then turn the call into a lesson Jump into a 12-minute audio-only call with guided topics — no camera required Live captions appear as you talk Optionally record (both people must agree) and get a transcript Replay the call, tap words the same way you do in chat, and keep a learning streak A home-screen widget shows your streak and a daily tip so practice stays visible. Built for English and Chinese ChatNative is for people learning English or Mandarin Chinese. Your partner’s wording stays theirs. The app only marks the words you have not learned yet, so the conversation stays real and a little above your level. Stay in control Block and report are built in. You decide who to talk to, whether a call is recorded, and when you are looking for new partners. Chat with people. Keep the words you need. Speak when you are ready.
