About MandaTone: Mandarin Tones
MandaTone helps Mandarin learners see what sounds off, understand the pitch evidence, and practice the next fix with AI Coach. Record a short prompt, compare your pitch curve with a native model, and get a Coach plan that shows what to practice next. Most language apps give you more lessons. MandaTone starts with your real pronunciation, finds the tone pattern that needs work, and helps you fix one problem at a time. WHY MANDATONE IS DIFFERENT Mandarin pronunciation is hard to fix when feedback is vague. "Your tones sound off" does not tell you what your voice actually did. MandaTone makes the signal visible. You can see how your pitch moved, compare it with a native model, and understand which tone or pronunciation pattern needs work first. Then AI Coach turns that evidence into a focused practice path. WHAT YOU CAN DO See Your Tone Movement Record Mandarin prompts and view your pitch curve so tone movement becomes visible instead of abstract. Compare With Native Speech Overlay your voice with a native model and spot where your pitch starts, rises, falls, or flattens differently. Start With a Free Diagnosis Take a short pronunciation check and get a clear starting point before deciding what to practice. Get an AI Coach Plan AI Coach reviews your diagnosis, highlights your weakest focus, and chooses the first practice path. Practice Listening and Speaking Train tone recognition before speaking, then record and compare your own pronunciation. Follow Focused Pronunciation Drills Practice key Mandarin challenges including the four tones, tone contrast, tone sandhi, neutral tone, retroflex sounds, initials, finals, aspiration, and sentence rhythm. Keep Improving With Evidence Recheck your pronunciation and review past results. With MandaTone Coach, your path can keep updating as your speaking changes. WHO IT IS FOR MandaTone is built for adult Mandarin learners who know some rules but still sound off, including: - self-learners using pinyin - HSK learners working on spoken Mandarin - students who need clearer tone feedback - professionals who want more confident Chinese pronunciation - learners who want to understand what changed between attempts WHY LEARNERS USE IT Because repeating a model is not enough when you cannot tell what changed. MandaTone helps you move from vague feedback to visible feedback, from random repetition to focused correction, and from "my tones sound wrong" to "this is what I should fix next." START WITH THE FREE CHECK Take the free Mandarin pronunciation diagnosis, see your tone movement, and get your first Coach plan.
