Some Mandarin helps, but every line has pinyin, English and audio, so you can start from the first lesson.

How it works

Speak, don’t just readSay every phrase out loud. Silent reading does not build clinical fluency.
Characters firstEvery term appears as 汉字, pinyin and English. Read the characters, check the pinyin, and use English only to confirm.
Rehearse it liveRole-plays and drills are meant to be done out loud, with the English covered.
Record and compareEach module ends with homework. Record yourself and compare week to week.

Earn a certificate
