Reviews: What People Think About maayot | Read Chinese & Learn
Hanyu Xuesheng
Rating: 4/5
Maayot has one main goal: to offer new readings to its many students. I have only used the beginning level, so I know the readings are simple for a reason. So far after a few weeks, the readings are varied and offer gradual exposure to new vocabulary and some review of previous vocabulary. There is a built in dictionary function, but it is very simple, so additional help might be needed to understand some words/phrases in context. There is also a quiz with each reading that requires a close reading of the text. I wish there could be more than one question, but when a new text is offered every day, I understand why it is short. The final section is a written response to a prompt based on the reading. It’s fun to see how other users have responded.

I am obsessed with this app. Premium is truly worth it. Daily stories with the right amount of challenge and personal investment has taken my reading to the next level. The stories are engaging and have the right mix of idiomatic phrases and general vocab. I now look forward to reading Mandarin every day!
The three reading levels mean you can start off in any way and get the appropriate challenge - for example the beginner stories are not just ‘easier’, they are shorter. They also mix in 1-2 stories of the upper level each week, so you don’t plateau and can gain more confidence. The spaced repetition of new characters in different contexts (on different story days) also helps with learning new characters faster.
You also save a lot of time not having to looking up unfamiliar characters - the app has an intuitive quick tap function to reveal both pin yin and meaning.
Because of all this, it is light years ahead of services like Duolingo. With other language apps I always felt like I was just playing a game, barely progressing. Not having enough to sink my teeth into and feel emotional investment. Combine this app with a flashcard app to take notes as you wish, and you are set.
The only thing I wish is that Maayot could become a language empire and do this same format, for other languages. :)

The app offers new Chinese reading everyday. I love the readings and the ability to click and see pinyin if needed. The level feels very good, my only issue is for the quiz that sometimes I don’t know the characters and the quiz question feels more difficult than the actual story. So having the same access to the click on character feature for pinyin in the question would help a lot. Also for the writing response it never works for me.
