Have many, this is the best, BY FAR

I love, love, LOVE this app! It is engaging and fun. As a teacher, I appreciate being able to see the careful, thoughtful design of building and reviewing vocabulary and grammatical structures over time, across lessons. I think it has a brilliant balance of activities from putting words in the right order to finding the answer to a question to speaking and having that evaluated to listening to videos of people saying a sentence and then writing the sentence. That last one is my favorite because it’s so authentic. People speak at their normal speeds, in their normal styles, which might be mumbly, and you have to listen well plus think about what they probably would have said, i.e., the grammar, if you couldn’t really catch all of the words. I have added half an hour into my morning routine before work in order to do the app because it’s so fun!! Downsides: I am not impressed with the games, especially that they don’t seem to test me at my current learning level (rather WAY earlier). Also, the immersion lessons, while cool in theory, are too long for me. I think they should be 5 quick minutes only. Finally, DEVELOPERS, WHY DID YOU TAKE THE FLASHCARDS AWAY??? I REALLY miss them!!!!

You will soon see the flashcards back with a much cleaner inferface. Also thank you very much for your suggestions for the games and immersion lessons. We surely will improve it and take your suggestions into consideration.

Edited 2021 - false advertisement, no games in new version

HelloChinese is a fun, easy to follow program. You're given a variety of options to adjust the level of difficulty, as well as many supplemental learning tools such as flash cards, games, videos. It covers all the aspects of the Chinese language, including but not limited to proper pronunciation, reading both pinyin and traditional characters, as well as writing/typing pinyin and traditional characters. There is an achievement point system that allows you to access more content, and there is something satisfying about working my way down the curriculum path. I'd recommend this app to anyone wanting to learn to read, speak and write in Chinese. ETA (2021): I’ve returned to HelloChinese after a long hiatus and was glad to see there was a new, more comprehensive course available. However, they have done away with the games section for the new course and according to support there are no plans to reintroduce it. This is false advertisement considering that the Premium subscription claims that you have unlimited access to all training games. You can access the games still, but in order to play them you have to progress in the old course (which is redundant to and goes in a different order from the new course). That’s a huge limitation if you ask me, not to mention a huge inconvenience. The games were a big part of why I used to love this app, so my new rating and amended review is going to reflect that.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Here are our explaination:
1. We put lots of efforts in developing new main course contents such as teacher talks, speaking lessons, etc., as these are more effective to our users to learn Chinese.
2. We will consider adding games in the main course.

Incredible!

This app is awesome. I learned some Chinese awhile ago but haven’t really used it in awhile.. but my wife is Chinese and her parents don’t speak English so I’ve finally resumed learning Chinese. This app is a super powerful complement to the conversational practice I’m doing on another platform. This app is helping me to refresh and review the Chinese I had learned but also helping me to reinforce the language structures that I had forgotten. For me personally the Premium+ is cheap for the value it provides. Much kudos to the devs / product manager(s) / designers who have made an app that has a good UX and makes me addicted to want to keep coming back to the app. Also happy that it goes up HSK4. IMO This is THE Chinese learning app. While there are other apps out there this is the most well rounded app and includes a very human quality with the podcast-style teacher talks that I find really fun to listen too since it fills in some cultural / contextual gaps that we can’t see when grinding away at the quizzes and tests. 10 mins is the perfect length for those talks. It took me 3 days to pull the trigger to get the Premier+. It is worth it!
