Mandarin Minute

The Comprehensive Chinese App

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Master Mandarin in minutes a day. Daily HSK words, an AI conversation tutor, a 121,000-word dictionary, and a live home-screen widget. Now with full Arabic support. Mandarin Minute is the complete Chinese learning toolkit on your phone. It includes daily lessons, a deep dictionary, smart drills, an always-on AI conversation tutor, and a live home-screen widget, all in one app. DAILY WORD Every day, the app presents a new Chinese word from HSK levels 1 through 5 with its hanzi, pinyin, English translation, and a real example sentence. Listen to studio-recorded native pronunciation, then pin the word to your iOS home screen so it stays in front of you all day. AI CONVERSATION TUTOR Practice your Chinese in a real conversation with an AI tutor that responds in natural Mandarin. Ask grammar questions, role-play everyday scenarios like ordering food, asking for directions, or meeting a new friend, or just chat freely. The tutor adapts to your level, gives gentle corrections in Chinese and your own language, explains why an answer is wrong, and is available any time, so you never wait for a class to keep practicing. LIVE HOME SCREEN WIDGET Pin today's word to your iOS home screen and learn at a glance, without ever opening the app. The widget syncs daily with your selected HSK level and refreshes automatically, so you keep moving forward even on busy days. A FULL DICTIONARY YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE Search 121,000+ entries by hanzi, pinyin, or English meaning. Tap any word to study it, hear it spoken aloud by a native voice, and add it to a custom flashcard deck. FLASHCARDS AND QUIZZES Build your own decks from any words you have looked up. The app schedules each card based on how well you remember it, focusing your review time on the words you struggle with. HSK-level quizzes test your progress level by level. DAILY IDIOM (CHENGYU) Learn one classical Chinese idiom every day, with a clear explanation of its origin, literal meaning, and modern usage. ALSO BUILT FOR ARABIC READERS Mandarin Minute is the first Chinese learning app with full Arabic support: a complete Arabic-translated dictionary, idiom explanations in Arabic, and a right-to-left interface where headers and navigation flow naturally for Arabic readers. PRIVACY FIRST Everything ships bundled in the app. There is no account, no tracking, and no ads.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

This update is a major polish pass for Arabic learners, plus a handful of quality fixes everywhere else. • Full right-to-left layout polish: fixed alignment across the app, mirrored back arrows so they point the natural way in Arabic, and translated unit names and learning-activity labels into Arabic. • Sentence Builder: in Arabic mode the period now stays on the correct side of Chinese sentences and pinyin. Fill-in-the-blank no longer reveals the answer when the same word appears twice in the sentence. • Quiz Modes: all eight tiles now share the same size for a cleaner grid. • AI Voice Chat: message bubble alignment is now consistent; your replies are always on the right, the tutor's on the left. Thank you for using Mandarin Minute. If you have feedback, tap "Rate & Review" in Settings. Every note is read.
