Description
Having trouble with Chinese tones?
Can you pronounce words using the correct tone?
Are you able to tell apart similar sounds?
Do you know when to use which tone?
Many people think that Chinese is an impossibly complex tonal language to master — but that's before they've tried Ka!
Ka is a fun, fast-paced flashcards game that introduces you to the range of different sounds that make up the Chinese language and gives you plenty of listening and pronunciation practice via quick, snappy drills.
With Ka, you'll quickly learn to recognize and tell the difference between different syllables in Mandarin Chinese. By swiping and tapping away in this addictive card-based game, you're drilling your way to Chinese fluency with plenty of listening and speaking practice.
You'll stop making embarrassing mistakes like confusing mā (mother) for mǎ (horse) and shāng hài (hurt) for shàng hǎi (Shanghai)!

Ratings and Reviews
Great but has a bug
Finding this app super helpful to work on my tones!
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to account for tone sandhi, and will test things asking if a tone was second or third tone when preceding another third tone, for example in the word 感想, where 感 is pronounced like second tone in this word but answering second tone is marked as incorrect. This difference is impossible to differentiate in many cases without knowing the actual word and is misleading. Hope you can find a fix for this issue!
Nice UI, but not compatible with iPhone SE
Sometimes the bottom of the screen is cut off so that I can’t actually proceed in the game!
Developer Response ,
Hi! I've gone ahead and re-designed the entire game screen so there's no way it will get cut off anymore. Please give it another try and if this addresses your feedback, I hope to have another chance to get a revised rating from you for the app. Thank you for the bug report!
