How to Say Chinese

Most apps tell you how to say it. How to Say Chinese is built so you actually learn it — you type what you want to say in your own language, and every translation turns into a short Mandarin lesson.

What you get

• Four levels of politeness for the same sentence — casual to formal.
• Word-by-word alignment between your language and the Chinese.
• Pinyin and tones on tap, including tone changes.
• A word book that turns saved words into multiple-choice review.
• Chinese grammar practice — 114 grammar patterns with examples and quizzes.

Who it's for

Beginners starting from zero, HSK and TOCFL candidates, travellers, and anyone who has been studying Mandarin for a while but still freezes when it is time to speak.

Interface available in English, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian and Spanish. Free to download; grammar and vocabulary practice are part of How to Say Pro.
