Forget flashcards. Step into China. Tap a subway sign. Order at a hotpot table. Greet a doctor. LingoTouch drops you into beautifully illustrated places โ€” subway stations, restaurants, hospitals, tea houses โ€” 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. โ€ข Read โ€” Tap anything in the scene. See the hanzi, the pinyin, the example sentence. Hear a native voice say it. โ€ข Listen โ€” A word plays. Find the right object. Train your ear the way real conversation trains it โ€” fast, in context, with no subtitles. โ€ข Speak โ€” Say it out loud. Our AI coach scores your tones the moment you stop talking. Mฤ, mรก, mวŽ, mร  โ€” it hears the difference, and tells you exactly which one you nailed. WHY IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE STUDYING โ€ข Every word is tied to something you can see โ€” so you remember it the way you remember places, not lists โ€ข AI pronunciation coach that actually hears tones. Not "close enough" โ€” precise, syllable by syllable โ€ข First scene is completely free. No email. No sign-up. Open the app, tap the subway doors, you're learning โ€ข One scene โ‰ˆ one commute. 8โ€“12 minutes, and you walk away with 10 words you could use tomorrow โ€ข Pinyin on, characters off โ€” or both at once. You decide โ€ข 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.

About

Spelling Fox

Read full description

Spelling Fox turns spelling practice into play. Built for children ages 6 to 10, it lets a grown-up choose the words and lets kids learn them through a set of friendly, hands-on games. A GROWN-UP SETS IT UP Behind a parent gate (PIN or Face ID), you create a profile for each child and choose what they practice โ€” grade-level sight words, themed sets like Animals, Food, and Feelings, or your own words. You can even photograph a printed spelling list and the app turns it into a word set for you. KIDS LEARN BY PLAYING Children spell words by tapping letters, arranging syllables, filling in a sentence, matching pictures, or saying the letters out loud. Words become "mastered" only after a child spells them correctly across several sessions, so learning sticks. A story-mode adventure keeps them coming back. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Everything your family creates stays on your device. Speech recognition and photo text-reading happen entirely on-device โ€” nothing is ever uploaded. MADE FOR FAMILIES โ€ข Multiple children on one shared device โ€ข Progress tracking and mastery for each child โ€ข A parent area protected by PIN and Face ID โ€ข Works on iPhone and iPad Spelling Fox is free to start. A single optional one-time purchase unlocks every game, every word set, and unlimited child profiles โ€” no subscriptions, ever.
