About this app
What if 🇨🇳 Mandarin Chinese language learning would be a crazy fun game instead of the usual memorization drills? With Drops, it’s an effortless and fun learning Chinese experience with practical vocabulary that sticks to your memory with its catchy graphics, and quick mini-games.
The crazy part? It only takes 5 minutes a day to practice Chinese vocabulary. Sounds counter productive but it works like a charm! :)
These are the ingredients of our secret sauce:
👀 100% illustrated: Images instantly carry a meaning - there’s no need to use your native language at all! Nothing in the middle to get you second guessing. It’s faster, effective, and definitely more fun for daily Mandarin Chinese language learning! :)
🏎 5 min sessions: Limited time for practice sounds crazy but that’s what makes it incredibly addictive – which is a cool thing for learning Chinese words. There’s close to zero barrier entry for reasons not to learn. You’ll have no excuses even on the busiest day!
🕹 Effortless play: Games are addictive and fun, and we distilled these as the essence of Drops. The end result? A truly immersive Mandarin Chinese language learning experience that is not a waste of time since while you are playing you are also building a valuable knowledge in language.
⚡Quick: Keyboarding typing is slow. With Drops, taps and rapid swipes is all you need for learning Chinese. Trust us, those extra seconds are handy during the game learning session. ;)
🎯 Vocabulary only: No grammar, just curated practical words. These two are our focus and we do it pretty well! The Drops app teaches Cantonese and Mandarin too!
💁Forge a habit: We want to make you an addict to language learning. An established habit + an effective method is what works with Mandarin Chinese language! And this is the combo that Drops helps you build!
We are proud of our beautiful word pronunciations from our professional voice talents!
Drops is free to use for casual learners with 99 topics, and 1700 Chinese words to choose from. Hardcore language learners can opt-in for our premium plans with unlimited learning time and to progress faster. Susbscription plans start from $2.99 per month.
🌍 Empowering people through Chinese language knowledge is our goal, with Drops as a special tool that uses a universal language that we can all speak: pictures!
P.S. A friendly warning, this language learning app can really get you addicted to learning. :)

The play learn is quite fun and honestly I've never seen an app that do this but I thing if it focused first in learning the characters then start learning words it would be easier to understand words

GREAT idea (to use graphics instead of translation), but still seems to have some problems (I have the Premium subscription): Main problem for me is that the app is unresponsive unless on a very good internet connection to outside China- which is often not the case in China... Other suggestions for improvements: • Some graphics are too ambiguous • Sometimes the right answer will "bounce" slightly to give you a hint: this happens much too early, giving away the answer before you've had time to really think hard... • Tones (very important in mandarin): some screens, the pinyin+tones are just too small print, or too quickly flashed to read the tones • Screens with just graphic + characters need to show tones (pinyin) on answer, not just pronounce the word • Need to be able to personalise - tailor sets of words to suit user's needs; make it so users can compile a set of words for a particular circumstance (e.g. my walk to work; my work; my shopping trip). • Finally, I don't like to set up accounts, nor provide lots of info & personal data to the providers & their 3rd parties; I am happy to pay a reasonable price for a quality app, and keep my privacy.

Drops is in my opinion better than any other language learning app for learning vocabulary, but it could use some improvements. 1) Sometimes the swipe left or right questions are obviously wrong, like 刀 above and only 火 below. The characters don't match, so you can get it right even without knowing the answer. 2) Questions should get more difficult over time, like going from 4 choices to 8. 3) Needs more question types. Ideas: audio only, selecting relevant responses, and fixing mistakes.
