Free for 7 days: all 14 levels, 4 game modes and 10 living stages. Hear every Mandarin word spoken by a native speaker as you match tiles.
Mahjong Mandarin builds the 500 most frequently used Chinese characters into a relaxing game of mahjong solitaire. Match open tiles and learn Mandarin as you play.
Every time you select a tile, native Chinese speakers say the word aloud. The pinyin is written beneath each Simplified character, and the English meaning and its part of speech appear at the top of the screen. Characters are colored by tone, so you can see how a word should sound before you hear it. Each tile appears four times per level, giving you repeated chances to remember the character, its meaning and its pronunciation. Practice speaking while you play!
There are over 47,000 Chinese characters, but the 500 most common ones cover about 75% of everyday reading. Mahjong Mandarin teaches all 500 across 14 levels.
TRY EVERYTHING FREE FOR 7 DAYS
Start the free trial and every level, mode, stage, soundtrack and tile set is unlocked for 7 days, with no charge and no automatic billing. After 7 days, a one-time purchase keeps the full game unlocked for good.

Learning Cantonese? Look for Mahjong Cantonese, also by TileSpeak.
I have been waiting to an app like this and learned that something was coming soon. I just caught wind this week that TileSpeak was going to be available and had to purchase it right away. So far, it is the mist user friendly solution and I don't struggle with retaining what I've learned because it is a fun and intuitive game! I'm hoping it'll also help me with my upcoming travels! Thanks so much for finally getting the right app out there!
Love it

This is a really brilliant idea. Gameified education is wonderful stuff and this is a great example. I swear this has done more to help me pickup Chinese characters than anything else I have tried.One addition that I would like to see is the ability to turn off the visual pinyin and just leave the characters. The pinyin is great but I would also like to be able to test myself on just the characters.
Helps you learn Chinese faster!

Tilespeak Mahjong rocks! I've been searching for an easier way to learn Cantonese and this is it! The game is fun and the vocabulary is outstanding. I've picked up and retained a number of characters and pronounciations with ease since I started learning with Tilespeak! Well worth the low price of the App!
I love this concept!

It has a FANTASTIC concept, sooo educational and fun. Great background music and good background pictures. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the tiles are hard to differentiate from each other. It needs zoom or a 3D environment like some of the other high quality games of this type. I will upgrade my rateing when this is remedied. Great start developers! Please don't stop improving this game!
TileSpeak Mahjong is now Mahjong Mandarin, focused entirely on Mandarin and Simplified Chinese. Cantonese has its own app, Mahjong Cantonese.
New: try every level, mode and stage free for 7 days. Your game now saves when you leave, your settings are remembered, and the app downloads much faster.
