How to start speaking Chinese

From zero to your first real conversation in about 5 minutes. Here's the whole journey.

1

Create your free account

Sign up with just an email. Pick your native language and Chinese level โ€” the tutor uses both to explain things your way. You get 15 free tutor turns every day, no card needed.

2

Pick a scenario

Browse 15 real-life scenarios โ€” ordering noodles, taking a taxi, checking in to a hotel, bargaining at the market. Start with Beginner (HSK 1-2) if you're new; each scenario shows its level and the words you'll practice.

3

Speak with your tutor

The tutor plays a role (like Auntie Wang at the noodle shop) and talks with you in easy Chinese. Press the mic and speak โ€” or type if you prefer. The tutor gently guesses what you mean and keeps the conversation going.

4

Learn from the feedback

Every reply shows pinyin and a translation in your language, plus gentle corrections on how to say it better. Tap any Chinese word to save it to your wordbook, then review it anytime.

Golden rule: mistakes are welcome here. A few minutes of speaking every day beats hours of silent studying โ€” so don't be shy, just say it.
