About Menzi: Learn Chinese
Recognizing a word is not the same as being able to use it. Cards advance through production: you compose the target word into your own sentence, and a language model evaluates that sentence for comprehension, accuracy, and complexity before the word moves forward in your review schedule. Four axes of mastery Real language is multimodal, so Menzi tracks every word across four axes: meaning, reading, listening, and speaking. A word counts as mastered only when you understand it, can read it, catch it in speech, and say it out loud. Extend that across thousands of words and fluency emerges. Grammar, not just vocabulary Words are the building blocks; patterns hold them together. Menzi includes a structured library of high-frequency grammar patterns with their own practice and progress tracking, so you’re building sentences instead of stacking nouns. Your vocabulary is the material Menzi doesn’t teach from a fixed corpus. Your deck is what everything is generated from: stories, listening sentences, grammar drills, and the tutor’s own conversation are all built from words you already hold, with a deliberate margin of new ones mixed in. You set that margin. Pull a story toward the familiar and it reads almost entirely in words you know; push it the other way and it stretches you. This is comprehensible input in the technical sense, and it is hard to come by any other way — material at your exact level has to be made for one person. Nothing you meet gets lost Every sentence you write, story you read, and conversation you hold is scanned for words you haven’t formally studied. Each one is filed into a backlog with a count of how often you’ve met it, so the words you keep running into rise toward the front on their own. They arrive at a pace you can absorb. New words enter your deck only as your schedule has room for them, measured against what is already due — so exposure can run ahead of study without your daily review turning into a wall. What you meet in the practice Menzi generates becomes the material the next round is generated from. Immersive practice • Talk with a live AI tutor that guides you toward correct production with feedback as you go • Transcribe spoken sentences built from your exact vocabulary • Read and listen to stories with audiobook-style read-along playback, the spoken word highlighted as it goes Analytics that keep up with you See every word you’ve met and how well you know it, plus learning rate over time, listening minutes, and more.

What’s new
Version 2.2.1 · Updated October 12, 2026
• Taiwanese Mandarin. Choose it when you start or in Settings: Traditional characters, Taiwan's vocabulary and readings, and two Taiwanese voices, Xu Ming and Vivian. Zhuyin is there in Settings if you want it. • Bring your deck. Import an Anki deck, schedule and all, and its words join Menzi as words you already know. • A quicker start. Menzi asks how many words you know, or takes an imported deck, and builds your first deck from the answer. The tour runs on your own words, and if you're brand new you begin by building a sentence from tiles before anything is typed. • Your day is grouped by kind of work — Vocabulary, Sentences and Immersion — and the plan reshapes itself as you move the dials. • On your third day of practice, Menzi looks at what you actually did and offers a plan to match. Short days get a ten-minute plan you can finish. • Ask in any drill. A question typed into Transcribe or Translate now gets an answer from your tutor instead of a grade. • Translate's hints come in steps: the characters first, then the pinyin. • After your free days, Menzi stays open. Hanzi, listening, speaking and your stories stay free, and the paid modes show a padlock. • Fixes: voice previews animate again, "Restore my custom plan" no longer disappears after you move a dial, the keyboard no longer covers the tour's buttons, and credited words no longer get cut off.
