Mandarin Hero

Learn the Mandarin people actually speak. Mandarin Hero teaches everyday Chinese through real situations, like ordering bubble tea, paying by QR code, asking the way or chatting on WeChat, and makes the words stick with a few minutes of practice a day. LESSONS: REAL CONVERSATIONS 29 lessons, from your first words to the pharmacy, ordered from easy to hard. Each one teaches its key words, then its handy phrases, then the conversation itself. • Spoken, natural Mandarin: the particles, short answers and phrasing people really use, not textbook sentences • A dialogue with variations, so you hear how the same exchange can go differently • A role-play where you play your part, with natural alternatives for every line • The signs and labels you'll see there, as they're actually written • Native audio on every line PRACTICE: MAKE IT STICK Words come back just before you'd forget them. A modern spaced repetition scheduler (FSRS) decides when, so a few minutes a day is enough. • Pick your goal: listen and speak, read and write, or all of it • Listen cards train your ear, Speak cards get you saying it out loud • Write cards with stroke order, and memory hooks that break each character into its parts • Every word with pinyin, audio and a short, natural example sentence • Already know a word? Skip it with one tap START FROM ZERO • The Basics: how pinyin sounds and the four tones, with audio for every syllable • Your first card within a minute, no long setup AND MORE • All of HSK 1-6 (almost 5,000 words, each with a hand-written example) when you want to go beyond the lessons • Streaks, stats and a calendar of your study days • A daily reminder, if you want one • An optional account to sync your progress and see how your friends are doing • Works offline once your cards are downloaded • In English and Dutch Moving to China, travelling, or talking with friends and family: Mandarin Hero is built for real conversations in real Chinese.
