People may understand your Mandarin words, but still miss your meaning if the tones are off. MandaTone helps you fix that by turning your voice into visual pitch curves, so you can see how your Chinese tones move and compare them with native-style patterns.
Take a quick Mandarin pronunciation diagnostic, get a clear speaking report, and follow a personalized daily path for tones, initials, finals, HSK-based pronunciation practice, and your own short Chinese sentences.
New in 1.2.0: Custom Practice lets you type a short Chinese sentence, hear reference audio, record your voice, and compare your pronunciation with tone feedback and a score.
MandaTone is designed for Mandarin learners who want clearer pronunciation, not just more vocabulary. Instead of guessing whether you sound right, you can see your tone shape, find your weak spots, and practice the sounds that need the most work.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH MANDATONE
See your voice with pitch curves
Mandarin tones are movement patterns. MandaTone visualizes your pitch so you can compare your pronunciation with reference patterns and understand what to adjust.
Practice your own Chinese sentences
Use Custom Practice to turn a short Mandarin sentence into listen-and-repeat pronunciation practice with reference audio, scoring, recent history, and tone feedback.
Take a quick pronunciation diagnostic
Start with a short assessment to understand your current Mandarin speaking level. Your report shows your score, listening and speaking breakdown, and key pronunciation focus areas.
Follow a personalized learning path
After your diagnostic, MandaTone recommends courses and drills based on your level and weak spots. The Today page shows what to practice next.
Practice with structured HSK-based courses
Build pronunciation foundations through carefully designed courses, starting from HSK 1-3 and expanding into focused sound training.
