Why us

Two ways to practice—each with different strengths.

Many learners use both. Here is what each kind of practice tends to be best for.

Cost

Human tutors

Often $30–80+ per hour; scheduling can add opportunity cost.

This app

Predictable monthly plan—practice daily for less than a single lesson.

Availability

Human tutors

Limited to their calendar; rescheduling and time zones get in the way.

This app

24/7 on your phone—five minutes or an hour, whenever you have focus.

Pressure

Human tutors

Great for real humans, but small talk and “being on” can drain beginners.

This app

No performance anxiety—repeat the same phrase until it feels natural.

Feedback

Human tutors

Expert ear and cultural nuance—when you’re in the room together.

This app

Instant tone and pronunciation cues with replayable waveform practice.

Social proof and testimonials

Trusted by learners

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers before you subscribe. Still unsure? Try the mic in the hero—no account needed.

Is the demo really free?

Yes. You can try the voice demo without an account. A full account and subscription unlock unlimited voice sessions, generated lessons, and your practice history.

How is this different from language apps?

You practice speaking out loud with an AI that responds in real time—not just tapping multiple choice. The focus is pronunciation, tones, and natural dialogue at your level.

Will an AI replace a human tutor?

For many learners, the best setup is both: use this app for daily reps and low-pressure speaking, and see a human tutor when you want deep cultural nuance or exam prep. The compare section on this page outlines what each is usually best for.

What happens to my voice data?

Your sessions are used to give you feedback and improve your experience. We do not sell your conversations.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Pro is billed monthly and you can cancel from your account. You keep access until the end of the paid period.

What level of Chinese is this for?

Beginners through advanced learners who want more speaking practice. You can steer topics—travel, work, hobbies—and the tutor adapts vocabulary and speed.
