Forget flashcards. Step into China. Tap a subway sign. Order at a hotpot table. Greet a doctor. LingoTouch drops you into beautifully illustrated places — subway stations, restaurants, hospitals, tea houses — where every object you can see is a word you can tap, hear, and speak. No textbooks. No grammar drills. Just the Chinese you'd actually say, in the places you'd actually say it. THREE STAGES. ONE SCENE. EIGHT MINUTES. • Read — Tap anything in the scene. See the hanzi, the pinyin, the example sentence. Hear a native voice say it. • Listen — A word plays. Find the right object. Train your ear the way real conversation trains it — fast, in context, with no subtitles. • Speak — Say it out loud. Our AI coach scores your tones the moment you stop talking. Mā, má, mǎ, mà — it hears the difference, and tells you exactly which one you nailed. WHY IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE STUDYING • Every word is tied to something you can see — so you remember it the way you remember places, not lists • AI pronunciation coach that actually hears tones. Not "close enough" — precise, syllable by syllable • First scene is completely free. No email. No sign-up. Open the app, tap the subway doors, you're learning • One scene ≈ one commute. 8–12 minutes, and you walk away with 10 words you could use tomorrow • Pinyin on, characters off — or both at once. You decide • Shadow native speakers and build the rhythm of real Mandarin, not stiff textbook lines START FREE Your first scene is on us. Tap in and see what sticks. When you're ready for more, LingoTouch Pro unlocks every scene with a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID. Payment is charged at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
