Chinese Pronunciation

Mandarin & Cantonese Listening

Free · In‑App Purchases

Real Mandarin, Taiwanese Mandarin and Cantonese, read by native voices — with pinyin, Jyutping and explanations in your language. Start free. Same Chinese. So why does a Taiwanese drama sound nothing like your textbook? Because there isn't one Chinese to learn. There's the Mandarin of Beijing, the softer Mandarin of Taipei, and Cantonese — a different language wearing the same characters. This app lets you hear all three, one sentence at a time. Every sentence is a real one: ordering at a breakfast stall, arguing with a taxi app, turning down an invitation without offending anyone. Under each line sits its pinyin or Jyutping, and a one-line note on the thing a textbook never tells you — the tone trap, the word Taiwan uses instead, why 慢走 is not an instruction. Listen. Say it back. Let the score tell you the truth. What's inside • 1,488 sentences across 31 themed packs, levels 1–4, in Mainland Mandarin, Taiwanese Mandarin and Hong Kong Cantonese • Native text-to-speech voices, pinyin and Jyutping on every line • Explanations in 11 languages — or none at all if your phone is already in Chinese • Speaking tests scored on your device, and AI Studio for passages about your own life • Chinese Basics: tones, pinyin, simplified vs traditional, in five minutes each Start free. Credits buy new sentences once and they're yours forever; a subscription makes everything unlimited.
