About

Speak Chinese the moment you land — no Chinese keyboard, no grammar drills. Most travelers arrive in China with a translation app and never say a word out loud. Try Chinese is built the other way around: you hear a real line, tap word tiles to build it, say it out loud, and move on to the next situation. Thirty seconds at a time. Why it works when you're actually there - Tap, don't type. There is no alphabet keyboard for beginners. You build every sentence from ready-made word tiles, so you practise speaking instead of fighting an input method. - Hear it, then say it. Native audio plays each line. Tap any phrase to replay it, then record yourself and compare. - Pinyin when you want it. Every line shows pinyin and English, so you can read along — or type it yourself once you're ready. - Built around real situations. Ordering food, buying tickets, asking for the bathroom, changing money, finding a pharmacy. What you'll do today, not textbook chapters. City Tour: a day in each city Eight cities — Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chongqing and Guilin — each with a curated one-day route of real stops. Every stop gives you a short guide note, the phrases you'll actually need there, a quick challenge, and a stamp to collect. More cities are waiting in the gacha. Free before you fly: Mobile Pay 101 China runs on your phone, and that takes setting up before you land: - How to get Alipay and WeChat Pay working with a foreign card - Why a data-only eSIM can't receive the SMS code you need — and what to get instead - Food delivery that actually reaches your hotel room - Maps and ride-hailing: why Google Maps drifts in China, and what locals use instead The free Field Guide also covers SIM and eSIM choices, hotel check-in, and other arrival basics. Play to unlock Start free. Earn points from missions and collect stamps along each route. A one-time unlock opens the full journey across every city, plus the gacha. No email required. No grammar drills. Just the Chinese you need, the moment you need it — so you can put the phone down and talk to people.Read more
