Putonghua Studio

Learn Mandarin pronunciation, words and sentences with daily on-device practice.

Putonghua Studio helps you build confident Mandarin step by step—listen, understand, practise and review, all on your device.

Speak a little every day. Improve with confidence.

WHAT YOU CAN LEARN
• Homophones and pronunciation discrimination
• Pinyin and Chinese characters
• Measure-word pairing
• Standard Mandarin vocabulary
• Standard Mandarin sentences

HOW YOU PRACTISE
• Learn cards — listen to Mandarin TTS, compare answers and mark mastery without a timer
• Smart mixed practice — reviews mistakes first, then unfamiliar material
• Focused practice — 10 untimed questions with instant explanations
• 90-second challenge — 15 questions against the clock and your personal best
• Listen and repeat — hear a target phrase, speak it, and see on-device recognition feedback (text match only—not a tone or accent score)

BUILT FOR STEADY PROGRESS
• Daily goals, streaks, XP and category mastery
• Mistake review and suggested weak areas
• Achievements that encourage consistency without pressure
• Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and English interface
• Light and dark themes with scalable system typography

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• No account required
• No analytics SDK and no app backend for your learning data
• Question bank and progress stay on your device
• Microphone is used only when you start listen-and-repeat; this app does not store or upload recordings
• Optional Gemini Nano explanations run on supported devices; fixed lesson explanations always remain available

The 500-question bank comes from the legacy Xianggang Putonghua Yanxishe learning app and has been rebuilt as a modern Material learning experience.

Mandarin voice quality depends on the text-to-speech voice installed on your device. Download a Mandarin voice in system settings if playback is unavailable.

Start with about five minutes a day—and keep going.
