Learn Chinese 10,000 Mandarin - Indispensable Chinese phrasebook

Although I don’t recommend phrases as a way to learn beginning Chinese grammar or vocab, I do recommend listening to and repeating these phrases as a very helpful method for getting your tones sorted out. I’m an intermediate student but needed to fix my tones and these bite sized phrases (fast and slow) were perfect. selecting and replaying these phrases is much easier than trying to pinpoint something on an mp3 audio recording from my textbooks. The female speaker on these phrases is a pretty fast speaker (the male, is slowed) and great practice.

I have just completed a two year Mandarin course by Fluenz which was pretty amazing and I wanted to take it further but I was unable to find anything substantial until I stumbled upon this app!! It is just as great as Fluenz and after trying it out a little I’m able to see myself learning advanced Mandarin with it. With this app one can repeat the phrases over and over till you get it right. There’s even a slow-down button and you can even record your own voice. This app is worth every penny you pay for it and I PROMISE that your Mandarin will improve leaps and bounds. This app has a solid learning structure, native speakers, a built in dictionary, and ENDLESS samples from everyday life to help you cover all sorts of topic in the real world. I wish I could give it 10 stars Thumbs up all the way for a great job done getting it right

This is a pretty stunning achievement. 10,000 Chinese sentences by a native Chinese speaker (not a TTS bot), so you get the actual rhythm and flow of the language. Each sentence can be expanded to show individual words and phrases, along with Pinyin pronunciations and English translations. There's a button so you can play a slowed-down version of the sentence by a different Chinese speaker. I really think vocabulary and grammar are best learned by example - how they are actually used in sentences... and this app is a gold mine of sentences!
