About HSK Chinese Reading: Mandaro
Mandaro helps beginner Chinese learners practice reading without relying on pinyin. Read graded stories written with controlled vocabulary, tap words only when you need help, answer quick comprehension questions, and review the exact words you looked up. Mandaro is designed for learners who want to recognize Chinese characters in context instead of relying on pinyin or memorizing isolated word lists. How it works: • Choose a story from a learning pack • Read Chinese text without pinyin on the main page • Tap unfamiliar words to see their meaning • Finish the story with quick comprehension questions • Review the words you checked during reading Content packs: Mandaro organizes stories into level-based packs. Each pack includes beginner-friendly stories, vocabulary support, comprehension practice, and review for looked-up words. Some stories are available to try for free. Full packs can be unlocked in the app. Features: • Short graded Chinese stories for beginners • Main reading text without pinyin • Tap-to-translate word support • Story-based vocabulary review • Quick comprehension questions • Track your reading progress and the words you are learning • Offline study after content is available on your device • No account required Privacy Policy: https://mandaro.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://mandaro.app/terms
