At first i thought this app couldnt be good at all. But as i progress i start to see, in fact, how good it is teaching basic chinese. It explains modern usage, & how older and younger generation use phrases.....and more..... Its also fun. I underestimated its worth. Wow! No ads. Free to use. Great Fun. Good teaching. No annoyances ( not for me anyway). Its hidden gold. A Million Thanks to All the Great Developers who made this!!!!

Your comment encouraged us a lot! We will continue our hard work to make this App even better! We recently released the "stories" where you can consolidate what you've learned in the main course in short stories. There are more feature under development so stay tuned!

Best mandarin learning app, worth paying for, but Ide like a bit more customisability. The app is free to try but to progress youll need the yearly basic subscription, the more general apps like duolingo dont really cover chinese very well as theres a lot of added context that needs explaining. To improve Ide really like to be able to turn more features on and off, they kind of have this for pinyin/hanzi but personally I only want to speak/listen for my partner and don't really care to write etc

I first downloaded this 10 years ago and went back to it today after I became frustrated with duolingo. It's changed alot, obviously "borrowing" UI and methods from duolingo, which are the good parts. However, Hello Chinese is way more effective at teaching the language. It takes time to explain the foundation of what you are learning, lessons are more cohesive, native speakers are used to teach pronunciation. It is better in almost every way, even for the free version. I will likely upgrade
