TongTong - Learn Chinese

Learn Chinese the smart way!

TongTong builds real Mandarin vocabulary and helps you keep it. Instead of cramming, it schedules every word for the moment you are about to forget it — so ten minutes today are worth more than an hour of re-reading.

STUDY THAT STICKS
• Adaptive spaced repetition (FSRS-6) learns how fast you forget and gives every word its own schedule — no fixed decks, no busywork
• Recall first, then check: grade a card Didn't know, Almost or Knew it, and the next date follows from your answer
• Native-speaker audio on every word and every example sentence
• Real example sentences — tap any word in one for an instant definition
• "Easily confused" words shown side by side, so 比 and 避 stop tripping you up
• Measure words, parts of speech and traditional characters where they matter
• Words you keep failing are flagged, so you can deal with them instead of dreading them

SCAN THE REAL WORLD
• Point your camera at a menu, a street sign or a textbook page
• TongTong reads the Chinese, looks those words up in the dictionary, and hands them back with pinyin and meaning
• Add the ones you didn't know in a single tap
• Recognition runs on your device — the photo never leaves your phone

START AT THE RIGHT LEVEL
• A two-minute placement quiz finds your level on day one — never bored, never overwhelmed
• 40,000+ words tagged HSK 1–6 and 7–9, from first steps to advanced fluency

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
• Words known, tracked across the last eight weeks
• HSK 1 to 6 filling in as your level rises — measured, not self-assessed
• Streak, reviews this week and retention, on the home screen
• Weekly leagues and the eight imperial-exam ranks, from 童生 to 状元

STORIES AT YOUR LEVEL
• Mandarin stories and podcasts matched to what you can already read
• Synced transcripts — tap a line to jump straight to it
• Vocabulary taught before you listen, and a comprehension quiz after

BUILD YOUR OWN LIBRARY
• Search the whole corpus by character, pinyin or English
• Add any word to your study queue in a tap
• Curated lists by frequency, HSK level and topic
