Can you hear the difference between xī and shī? Put your Mandarin ear to the test with quick listening games built around the sounds learners often mix up. Chinese Pinyin Game turns Pinyin practice into short, playful challenges you can pick up anytime. START WITH TWO CHOICES Listen to a syllable and tap the answer you heard. Each round has just 10 questions, so it is easy to fit in a little ear training whenever you have a few minutes. LEARN FROM EVERY ANSWER Get instant feedback, see Mr. Panda react to your result, and hear encouragement in Chinese. Missed a sound?

It is a practical way to build the listening foundation behind clearer pronunciation. LEVEL UP YOUR LISTENING When two choices feel easy, move on to four-choice syllable and word quizzes. You can also explore the Pinyin syllable chart and play sounds tone by tone.

I really love using this app. The only problem is that after a while it won’t load and I have to delete it then download it again.

I'm not sure how this app showed up on my phone - I think my kids downloaded it for me. But from the moment I started playing with it I was hooked. It allows me to improve my listening skills as well as speaking as I repeat after the recording to solidify the correct way to pronounce words. It also immediately showed me that I've been pronouncing the "ing" sound incorrectly and this many common words have been subtly off which causes confusion when I try to have a conversation.My only wish is that there were not words and maybe even some everyday sentences you could learn. I'd be willing to pay for this upgraded version!

Real life Chinese teacher told me that the most important thing to learn first is Pinyin. So every day in addition to my other Mandarin Chinese studies I spend 15 or or more minutes using this app. I especially like the way in the quiz where you compare two different words it lets you hear how both words are supposed to sound after you make your choice between the two. I would gladly and ungratefully pay for a virgin that is ad-free. I was very pleased to discover that the developer had made an update to this app one week before I wrote this review.

So i said in my last review id test it with bluetooth in. My airpods by that i mean. At the moment i was baking cookies 😋but i tested it out now that im free. No the audio does not play without a bluetooth device for hearing it. But i can hear the sound now that i have my airpods connected. The obly problem is fixing sounds for when bluetooth isnt connected so people can hear whenever. Over all wonderful app.

- Dark Mode support — the app now follows your device's appearance setting. - Pinyin chart improvements — fixed layout issues on some devices so every syllable fits on screen.
