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.

duiduidui! is the Chinese learning app that actually keeps up with you. At its heart is a comprehensive Mandarin dictionary — over 200,000 words and phrases, with pinyin, natural-speech audio, and example sentences for every entry. It goes well beyond the textbook, covering modern vocabulary, colloquial speech, and the slang people actually use online and in everyday conversation. Look anything up, tap to hear it — and it all works offline, so your dictionary is with you on the subway, on a plane, or anywhere the signal drops. But duiduidui! is more than a dictionary: • Your own phrasebook — Star any word or phrase to build a personal phrasebook of favorites, always a tap away and ready to review whenever you want. • AI tutor — Chat in Chinese or English with a patient tutor that explains grammar, corrects you gently, and answers "but why?" as many times as you need. • Snap to translate — Point your camera at a sign, a menu, or handwriting and get an instant translation. • Adaptive flashcards — The review system tracks what you actually know and steers you toward the cards you're ready to learn next — never too easy, never overwhelming. • Real progress — Watch your vocabulary, streaks, and skill level grow, session by session. How it works duiduidui! learns your strengths and gaps as you study, then balances new words against review so you stay in the sweet spot for learning. The more you use it, the better it fits you. Start with a 7-day full-access trial — the entire dictionary, the AI tutor, and adaptive flashcards, free for a week. No commitment up front. Whether you're learning your first character or polishing toward fluency, duiduidui! grows with you. 对对对 — "right, right, right." — Subscription details: • After the free trial, duiduidui! offers Monthly ($12.99) and Annual ($89.99) subscriptions. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. • Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. • Terms of Use: https://duiduidui.app/en/terms-of-service/ • Privacy Policy: https://duiduidui.app/en/privacy-policy/
